Take Courage (Joshua 1:1-9)
This week we consider God’s encouragement to Joshua to be strong and courageous. It is also a baptism service and as it is Half Term an All Age service.

…as Joshua did, let’s take courage in the growth of the church and meditate on his word day and night, treating it as the true gift it is.

The Great Escape (Exodus 14:10-18)

In 1940, King George VI called on people to pray. In a national broadcast he instructed the people of the UK to turn back to God in a spirit of repentance and plead for Divine help. God did not dry up the sea, but he did make it possible for 330,000 troops to escape from Dunkirk and be brought across the sea to England.

A Woman’s Fight (Judges 4:1-24)
This week we continue our them of ‘Fight the good fight’ and consider one of the battles in the book of Judges, where it was the women that followed God’s initiative. Tomorrow is a Holy Communion service with the normal children’s groups running.

Anger, lust, violence, joy, bravery, valiance, malice, envy, elation, depression, confusion, empathy. Humans are complicated creatures with many difficult emotions shown and perceived in complex ways, and our passage this week is undoubtedly one to stir up a reaction!

Joy in Victory (Psalm 126)
This week we welcome the friends and family of Eden Meyrick for her baptism. All our children’s groups are back after a three week break and we will also be reflecting on the upcoming VE day and joy in victory.
This Sunday 4th May
Then on VE day that was suddenly all over. The fear was gone, everyone could look forward to life returning to normal, the troops could come home and the work of reconstructing the country (and Europe) could begin. It is hard to imagine how incredibly joyful people would have felt on that day.
