Morning Service 'How does God feel about you?'
International Welcome
This morning Benji Cook will be preaching on 'How does God feel about you?' from Luke 15:11-24 - When you're new somewhere there's lots of names to learn, excitement at meeting new people, concerns maybe about what life may be like here; will I find friends? Will I settle in? Will I be accepted? And that anxiety, well it can seep over into our relationship with God can’t it? Does God accept me? How does God feel about me? Benji Cook encourages us to ask ourselves how God feels about each of us as he shows us how the Father felt about his younger son in Luke 15:11-24.

Here's how it works:
- Come to the 10.30am service at church. The place to sit is the balcony above the main door - you'll see the rest of us up there.
- After 15mins or so we'll head across to 3 Osborne Road for Pathfinders, which will kick off at about 10.45am.
- We'll then wrap up in time for the end of the service and will bring you back across to find your parents.
