Belonging to a community can enhance our lives in numerous ways and help us to grow in our faith; it can be difficult to be a Christian on our own. To be a Christian means to have a special relationship with God and with other people. That relationship must be living and growing. So, being a registered, active member of the church can help us to grow as a Christian.
As a registered member, you will receive parish mailings keeping you apprised of all the parish events. You never know what you will discover that you would like to be a part of - we would love to give you the opportunity - register today!
Read Luke’s description of the early church in Acts.
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.Acts 2.44-47
