Easter 5

Easter 4

 

Acts 9: 36-end

Easter Sunday

 

Acts 10: 34-43

The Revelation

The Church

Ephesians 3: 1-12

Acts 2: 42-47

 

When the Holy Spirit came down at Pentecost, he ignited a movement that has gone across the world and lasted 2000 years so far - God's church in the world. Revd Abby asks what that means for us and how we can be church for those around us.
