WALKING THE WAY- One More Step
Autumn 2020-Summer 2021
We are continuing our theme of Walking the Way. Details of the individual services can be found on our Service Page. To view the online services please click here
Whether or not we are aiming for a particular goal in life, we never remain static and the steps we take will always move us toward a destination we may hardly be aware of.
With so much choice in life (not to mention danger), how can we hope to take each step in the right direction?
Sydney Carter’s famous song, “One more step along the world I go……from the old things to the new…keep me travelling along with You,”
is our theme song for this final year of exploring what it means to Walk the Way and Live the Life of Jesus today.
