Livestreamed Services

Luke 2: 25-40 | 路 加 福 音 2:25-40

At our All Age service this week Nick helps us explore the story of the baby Jesus being presented at the Temple in Jerusalem, and the prophetic response of Simeon that He would be a light to the nations.

Our All Age Christmas Celebration is a fun, informal service for all the family at 10am. Please note that this service will not be livestreamed.

Our Carols by Candlelight service is one of the most special services of the year; a service of well-known carols and Bible readings and some other special items to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas, accompanied by our own musicians joined by members of St Sebastian Wokingham Brass Band.

Luke 2: 1-20 | 路 加 福 音 2:1-20

This Sunday we hear three different perspectives on the Christmas story as told in Luke, focusing on the journey to Bethlehem, and the good news announced to shepherds by a band of angels.

Matthew 22: 34-40

John 15: 9-17

This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and also a communion service, and so we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom as well as Jesus' sacrifice for all on the cross.

David Harding leads our service and continues our series, 'At your Service'. This is particularly fitting, as we remember those who have given their lives for our freedom. He  focuses on the verses in John chapter 15 which talk of the greatest love of all, the sacrificial love displayed by Christ in laying down his life for us.

Matthew 20: 20-28

This Sunday in our all age service, Nick continues our series 'At your service'. We reflect on Jesus' response to the wife of Zebedee who asks Jesus for places of honour for her sons James and John in God's Kingdom.

Philippians 2: 1-11

This Sunday we begin a new series called "At your service". Jesus came to this earth not only to die for us, but to show us how to live. In this series, we will be looking at his life of humility and service, his compassion for those on the margins, and his willingness to put his own needs and safety to one side to follow the will of his Father all the way to the cross. How does Jesus' example inform our own lives? What is God calling us to be and do?

This Sunday Nick reflects on Jesus' life of service, as celebrated in chapter 2 of Paul's letter to the Philippians. We also celebrate communion as we remember his sacrifice for us.
