Tuesday Gathering: The World
I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. John 17:14-15
What is “the world”? Does the world, whatever it is, really hate disciples? Is this the source of the famous misquote “you are in the world but not of it”?

Tuesday Gathering: Fruit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
How do we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit, and what does it tell us about life in general?
Fruitful Vineyards
My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. John 15:8 What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? If we wanted to “bear much fruit”, then how would we go about it?
Jesus and the Algorithm - Communion
" I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me." John 10:14 How does Jesus overcome the algorithm to speak to our deepest needs? Join us for a simple shared meal and communion.
Finding God in Difficult Conversations

Tuesday Gathering
After the rigours of Easter, a quieter evening when we ask ourselves where we have seen God at work (or at least the sorts of things God is into happening) in our lives over the past week. It is also time for Chicken Soup for the Soul. Bring something that made you laugh or cry or otherwise think about God.
Easter Vigil

Tuesday Gathering - for God so loved the world...
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” John 3:16. Such a famous quote - but what does it mean in practice?
Congregational Meeting and Communion
We begin with Boring But Important business - a congregational meeting to elect new members for the Church Council. But because we are spiritual community first, we will move efficiently on to the real work of joining Jesus at the welcoming table.
