Dear Friends, If you are reading this you are on a journey from what you once were, to what you will be. Nothing is static, change is always happening whether we like it or not. Some people are defined by who they were, others are defined by who they become. I believe how you finish is more important than how you started. In the film ‘A Knight’s tale’, a poor thatcher’s infant son William is given into the service of a Knight – his father uses the term ‘change your stars William’ to encourage his son to believe a better life is possible. William on his way to becoming a Knight himself ‘follows his feet’ back home to discover his poor father John is still alive but has gone blind. William inevitably gains an enemy determined to eliminate him. William’s father is led by the hand to the jousting world championships to hear the crowd roar his son’s name and hear him crowned King of the contest! The Son we follow also began with lowly beginnings as a carpenter’s son; he too had a rough journey on the way up and his enemy tried to remove the Son forever on more than one occasion. This Son had to be involved in the daily life of others and ‘grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men’ (Luke 2:53). His heavenly Father trusted the salvation of the world into the hands of his Son so that we can do more than ‘change our stars’, we can release the destiny God has always planned for us into our lives. The Son we follow went on to become not only the king of the contest, but the King of the world. Our King Jesus allows us to upgrade our lives so much that the end is way beyond what we imagined! ‘Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us – to Him be glory for ever and ever, Amen.’ (Eph 3: 20-21) The children make Easter Cookies as a way of learning about what happened at Easter. If you want to have a go at making your own Easter Cookies, you can follow the recipe.

Jesus prayed ‘may your will be done and your The book of Acts and the rest of the New Testament explain the culture, values and experiences of the early church when Father, Son and Holy Spirit are in the midst of God’s people. To discover the amazing love of the Father, the salvation of Jesus Christ and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit is a life-changing experience and one in which we invite you to share with us.

backgrounds of ex-bouncers, ex-football hooligans and ex-East End hard men who have turned their backs on their past. Many of the team are very keen powerlifters. All the team feel that having let God into their lives, they now have an urgent need to share their experiences with the hope of helping others. They have found that the message of hope in Jesus Christ reaches people from all backgrounds and age groups. The team travel throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide performing powerlifting demonstrations as a backdrop to telling their amazing stories. In this way, the Christian faith is presented to people who would not otherwise come into contact with the Word of God.
