On the first Monday of each month, in St Mary’s Church, starting Monday July 7th from 7.30pm until 8.00pm

Devotionals and Studies for House Churches
‘Keller is a very trustworthy applied theologian and pastor. His insight into scripture and its relevance to us today is on a par with NT Wright. A prolific writer and very good church leader, he has written this practical and challenging daily devotional for everyone to use with a focus on what we can know about God’s ways. We are using it every day as staff in the office and thoroughly recommend it for House Church use and individual daily devotions. We currently have two copies in the church library able to be taken out.’ Rev. Ian Cook
