What’s your favourite or hymn or worship song? Here’s our latest blog post from our Vicar, Andy, with why worship is an essential part of Christian life. Maybe you watched the jubilee service held at St Paul’s cathedral last week, it was a service to honour the faithfulness of 70 years from the Queen, but ultimately it was a service to thank God for His faithfulness. One of the hymns sung started like this ‘Glorious things of thee are spoken’ it is a hymn of praise to God! I

Life feeling like an uphill struggle? Jonathan Schnarr, Youth Minister at St George & St Paul, Tiverton, shares how we can be encouraged by Jesus, the Ultimate Overcomer. Last weekend, I drove to Okehampton to watch 2500 students from all over the U.K. embark on an incredible adventure as they attempted to finish the 35, 45 or 55 mile challenge, climbing 10 of the many tors dotted around Dartmoor. The groups left very early Saturday morning, camped overnight and returned back

Fresh from a staff team retreat, Rev. Andy. reflects on how each one of us has an exciting opportunity to Be Church Together. A friend of mine in the U.S.A. planted a church a few years ago called ‘Church Together.’ They gathered around these principles: ~Worshipping together in Christ, because He is our hope. ~Growing together in community, because we need each other. ~Serving together for our city, because all are loved. As a new growing church they have had to be intention

How and where does God reveal His presence to you? Fresh from the 2022 New Wine Leadership Conference, Vicar Rev. Andy Humm brings us our latest blog post. I was at a conference last week, where the theme was 'In His Presence!' It was a chance to worship with some of our team members, and many other church leaders from across the UK. More importantly, it was a time to be renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit and then to be challenged by key speakers. However, it was of cour

It's easy to praise God when life is good, but how do we worship in times of hardship? Here’s Debbie, our Children and Families minister, with an encouragement! Do you find it a challenge to worship when the rain is falling, the wind is blowing and when your own life storms are raging around you? Is worship just meant for those sunny cheerful and happy days? It is amazing to worship however and whenever we can. In big groups, in a small group and individually. Worship can be

As world leaders meet for the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, should we also be considering our own responsibility as Christians to care for God's amazing Creation? Here's the latest blog post from Rev. Andy Humm, Vicar at St George & St Paul's Church, Tiverton. When Jesus is challenged to define who ‘our neighbour’ is, he tells a parable that calls us to love anyone who is in need (Luke 10:25–37). Our mission partner Tearfund notes that love for our global neighbours can ta

Is it August already? Here's Justin with our latest blog post. During the last month I took part in three weddings and a funeral – I mentioned that movie during a sermon on Ruth 4 right at the start of July! The last of these weddings was last Saturday at St Peter’s, a clear highlight was the guard of honour for the bride and groom leaving the church under an archway of pitchforks and hockey sticks, with a tractor waiting to transport the happy couple onwards. In a month of w

Jonathan Schnarr, our Youth & Children's Minister, reflects on worship over the last few months. After 69 weeks of no congregational, sung worship in our church building, we were finally allowed to join the worship band in praising God out loud again last Sunday – and it was such a different feeling! We could hear the person next to us singing out loud, some of us lifted their hands as a sign of pure joy and others just stood and listened to this new sound in the building. Do
