Moving into 2023
2023 is here! Hurrah! This season, we are going to be deep diving into Prayer. We’ve 20+ sessions looking at a wide variety of bible passages which focus on prayer and there will be dedicated time for prayer in the services. I’m waiting to see what can happen :)

Lent News 2022
Hi Church I was planning to write and give an update for lent but the world changing events in the Ukraine have changed all of that! I was asked what the church’s vision is … We love Jesus and we love the world. We stand against the darkness and together, we work to bring the Kingdom of God closer. So we will Pray - The bible is full of stories that God moves against an insurmountable force. Több

HNY 2022
One of the things of working in Hungary is the Doctor examination to make sure you are fit for work.It’s a nice idea but I’ve had many experiences ranging from the ridiculous (do at least 1+ hour of exercise per day everyday) to the invisible ( just sign here please…) The start of a new year gives us an ideal opportunity to reexamine our health,life and choices. This year, we are going to look at the 7 churches in revelations and see how healthy they were and how this applies to us as individuals and as the church Több

Pruning
Dear Church 2020 has been an interesting year – I think everyone in 2015 who wondered what they would be doing in 5 years time was completely wrong. COVID 19 has completely changed the rules of life this year and, despite the amazing vaccines, I suspect it will still be influencing things upto the summer of 2021! These social changes have dramatically impacted how we meet and interact as a church, How do we view these times and how do we respond? Több

Summer News 2019
Hi Church Sorry that there has not been much communication recently, Hopefully, there won’t be such a long wait until the next update! Church is still working our way through the book of exodus and the narrative really fits our church’s growth. We are moving from a family to being a larger tribe. This means that things are changing for the better and we need better organisation for this to happen. Több

Dear Church We’ve moved and survived the first month at our new building! Many thanks to those who have searched, haggled, organised and moved us in - We are really grateful for the unseen work. However, the real work starts now!

Winter News 2017
January is nearly finished and there looks to be no end to the coldness. I’m rubbish at spring cleaning. Every time I start a job, I get distracted by the old things that I find along the way and hours later, I have made a bigger mess and the initial job still needs to be done. This year will be a pivotal year for the church with lots of changes happening. Több

Autumn News
September is here and life returns to to a familiar rhythm after a hot summer. The new academic term brings lots of joys, funs, struggles and problems for both teachers and students. So far this year, Sion has looked at practical wisdom in James; taking the promised land with Joshua and who is Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. This autumn we will turn our attention to Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and this will take us up to Advent. Több

The Gospel According To Columbo
Columbo is a great detective and loved over all the world - He even has a statue in Budapest. He looks messy and seems a bit distracted and completely disorganised but when he is about to leave the crime scene, he scratches his head and utters the famous phrase “Just one more thing” and asks a great question. He always gets his man or woman. Each episode unfolds in the same way. Több
