Acts Series
This series is inspired by Heather Ross, our curate and distinctive deacon. Heather’s vocation is not to sit in church waiting for people to walk through the door, it is to go out and meet people where they are. So we looked at examples from the book of Acts that show people doing just that – going out with the message of love and hope that Jesus brings.
