In June, the Select Vestry hosted an information evening to provide an update on the proposed building works to the Parish Church. We have now published a leaflet, bringing parishioners up to speed on the project as it now stands. This leaflet is available to download at this link: Building for God's Glory . If you would like to get involved in the project, then please don't hesitate to get in contact with any member of the Select Vestry, or through this website.

Over recent weeks we've been thinking about 'living by the Spirit' as we've worked through Romans 8. It's been a great reminder of life as a Christian, with the Holy Spirit empowering and equipping us. We've still a couple of sermons to go in the series, but here's what we've heard so far: Romans 8: 1-11 No condemnation Romans 8: 12-17 Children of God Romans 8: 18-25 The hope of glory

Earlier in the autumn, we had a short series in the book of the prophet Haggai. Haggai was building for God's glory as he encouraged the returning exiles to rebuild the temple which was lying in ruins. We heard God's word to us, as we seek to build for God's glory here in Aghavea. Here are the sermons for you to listen again: Haggai 1: 1-15 Consider your ways Haggai 2: 1-9 Continue your work Haggai 2: 10-19 Clean or Unclean? Haggai 2: 20-23 The Signet Ring

We're into the second full week of September, the kids are all back at school, and you might feel like the summer is long gone. As a little reminder of the summer, here are the Summer Psalms sermons for you to listen again, or to catch up on what you missed while you were away on holidays! This year we looked at some familiar Psalms with well-loved hymn versions. Psalm 72: Praying for the King . Psalm 23: The Lord's my shepherd . Psalm 95: Worship and a warning . Psalms 42&43: Thirsty for God . Psalm 121: Where does my help come from?
