Acts Now! Stories of Making Church Outside a Building
This week we journey 'down by the river' and hear the story of an early church leader, Lydia. Her story teaches us about the gift of hospitality. How do we cross cultural, gender, religious and economic boundaries to welcome the wisdom and insight of others into our experience of faith? This was a question for the early church; this is an important question for us today in the 21st century.
This week's reading: Acts 16:6-15

A Council Table: Conflict and Creativity - A Third Way with the Spirit!
Our stories in Acts have taken us from the festival of Pentecost, through busy city streets and temple porches, to country roadsides and river edges, to rooftop decks and table gatherings. This week, we will hear a story of 'making church outside a building' at a Church meeting! Yes, even here the Spirit can find a way to create a new understanding of community.
(This week's reading: Acts 15)

'Draw the Circle Wider'
This week, our story of 'making church outside a building' takes us to a rooftop. Peter's strange vision opens his eyes and heart to new possibilities, and an encounter with 'the other' transforms his thinking. Who is 'the other' in our lives and in our community inviting us to 'draw the circle wider', and wider still,
for the sake of Love?

Join us for 'Act 2' of our special worship series based on the Book of Acts.

This week we hear a story about Saul, who we know better as Paul. This unlikely character becomes a key actor in the rest of Acts.
This week's story is Acts 9:1-35. A new outline of the Bible readings will be available soon so you can read through the Book of Acts with us.
