A good time had by all at Chew Valley Lake on the Friday Fellowship Summer Trip this week...
Judging by the photo the weather was a little brisk but we are sure lunch at the Salt and Malt warmed everyone up nicely!

Film screening with a full church!
On June 8th we hosted - in partnership with Bath and West Community Energy - a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing on climate and nature. The film is a call to action for all of us and it was heartening to see so many people in attendance, not just of rhte film but for the informative discussion afterward.
We were very fortunate to have a great panel of speaker, notably the renowned environmentalist Sir Jonathan Porritt, CEO of BWCE Peter Capener and CEO of Share and Repair, Ruth Lambert.
Thanks so much to the team at BWCE for asking us to host - and for all the work they put in. Thanks also to the team of volunteers from St. Michael’s who helped the evening go so smoothly.
If you missed it , there may be other screenings nearby and you can find a screening map, plus more information on the NEB website HERE.

Living the Kingdom this Summer
Our new sermon series begins on 27th July when we begin Living the Kingdom: Lessons from the Road with Jesus.
Week 1: Teach us to Pray: Trusting the Father
Jesus invites u sin to a bold trusting relationship with God through prayer. Kingdom life begins with dependence on the Father.
Week 2: Rich Toward God: Breaking Free from Greed
life does not consist of possessions. Jesus challenges the myth of self-security and invites us to generous, kingdom-centred living.
Week 3: Little Flock, Big calling: Living Ready
Don’t be afraid - God’s Kingdom is ours. We are called to live alert and prepared for the Master’s return.
Week 4: A Disturbing Peace: The Dividing Power of Truth
Jesus brings not comfort, but transformation. Discipleship causes division because it demands a decision.
Week 5: Set Free on the Sabbath: The Compassion of the Kingdom
Jesus’ Kingdom brings healing, especially to the marginalised. Rules must never outrank mercy.
Week 6: A Better Seat: Humility and Hospitality in the Kingdom
In the upside-down kingdom, honour belongs to the humble and the host is found among the poor.
