On a personal note ...

Who says that church isn't relevant??!!

This weekend we started a new series of teaching in our morning services.  We have five weeks of Superhero Sundays covering just some of the Old Testament Superheroes; starting this week with Joshua.

I even got some sweeties for wearing a superhero t-shirt (church rocks!!)

Pauline's t-shirt was an especially big hit!!

Why not have a go at our Superhero quiz
