We acknowledge the Mouheneener People, the traditional custodians of this land on which we gather for worship.

This church seeks to be a place of safety and acceptance for all people.

Luke 23:33-43 You’ve gotta’ love William… Prince that is! Better looking than Hugh Grant, Di-ana and Charlie’s first born, ever the debonair, is also a father to the next gen-erations of heir apparents, boosting a deep royal blue sentiment amongst the masses which surely cements our most famous dynasty’s future for another century. He’s just what this generation wants in a king. He has breeding, charm, dignity, wit, and a media savvy which eludes many of the English speaking world’s leaders! I bet he even knows how to use a smart phone! Do you ever think of Christ’s credentials? “Nothing in his appearance that we should desire him, despised, rejected, afflicted, acquainted with suffering!” These are not the smears of the tabloids however. This is his job specification! So what do you look for in a King? God’s gift to PR?.. …or… …God’s gift to the poor? Rev. Michael Duke
