- Worship Weekend 7th & 8th June - we were joined by Sara and Sam Hargreaves who led three workshops for all those involved in leading worship across both churches. Saturday am was for anyone who plays a part in services, getting to the heart of what worship really is. Saturday pm and Sunday pm sessions focussed on equipping the music groups from both churches to lead musical worship. The first feedback from this new initiative is overwhelmingly positive with a better biblical understanding of worship for all of us and a whole set of new skills for our worship leaders.
