It's been a pretty intense period of time as we've mourned the death of the Queen, shared in the funeral service and observed the process of the accession of King Charles to the throne.

What a combination of experiences and emotions we have gone through – plus some really interesting reminders about what our system of governing looks like and how we uphold it through faith, monarchy and the houses of parliament.

We are in a time of significant transition – leaving an era behind and yet not quite there in terms of the new era. Someone once said that “Christians live from the centre out and the centre is God” – this is a time where we must keep finding our centre in Jesus and work outwards from that centre of his word, ways and works.

ALPHA is starting soon – do get in touch with the office if you want to take part – John Dixon is coordinating the team and we are going to have a lot of fun exploring faith.
