Dear friends This week's newsletter has been put together by Pam - blame her for any mistakes or omissions! What was, and is, and is to come This Sunday, we are exploring what John sees in his vision of all things being renewed (Revelation 21: 1 - 6). The world of the creation story and the present day is replaced by a new world – heaven on earth. God lives among, and will be all things to, his people. This story is one of excitement and hope. Knowing the past and living the present gives great hope to John's view of the future. We are reminded that the Lamb is the one who was and is and is to come – our lives matter in the here and now, and our work and worship are about us seeking to bring the future into the present. The good news is that we can't do it on our own. Come and join us in our churches as we explore this theme in more depth, and we work out what it is that God is calling us to in our day to day lives. If you'd like to work through the Roots material for this week, you will find it here: 220515 Roots Easter 5.pdf Tuesday Bible Group We have had to delay the Tuesday morning bible study group's new series looking at Mark's gospel, and so if you would like to join us, it's not too late! We would love to see you online at 9.30 each week if you can make it.

We promise it will be 9 min 32 sec well spent!
