Mark 3:7-35 ‘Oh when the saints, go marching in, O Lord I want to be in that number’. If we understand what is at stake, we’ll want to make sure that we are in that number. But there are many ways to end up outside the people of God. And some who think they’re inside are actually outside. This passage reveals how to make sure we’re in.
Acts 16:6-40 Sometimes people who aren’t Christian say ‘I’m not the churchy type’. But actually there is no churchy type. In Acts we see Jesus pursuing unlikely people and then uniting them together as one family – as he is still doing the same today.
1 Corinthians 12-13Being a football supporter and a church member may on the surface seem pretty similar. You have a common interest, you pay some money to go and watch once a week, you stand and sing, and some people get very passionate about it. But church members are more than supporters. They are part of the body of Christ.

Matthew 4:4 Are you someone who eats?! Of course! Our physical bodies need food to sustain them; the physical life we have needs food in order to continue. And it’s the same with our spiritual life, our soul. Jesus said “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Acts 2:42 Devocean is a conservation group for those devoted to cleaning up our oceans. Devoted to Dachsunds is a shop for those who are mad about sausage dogs. The early Christians were devoted to church. Why should we be? And how can we become more like them?

1 Corinthians 12:31-14:1 What’s your experience of church life? We’re thinking at the moment in the book of Philippians about being united as a church. At the Women’s Evening we’re going to be thinking in particular about how we can be a united, loving, gracious community, even though none of us is perfect. It’s not always easy, but it is Christlike and a key part of living as a Christian – the apostle Paul says, “So now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love”!
1John 4:10-12We’re facing a time of change at the Barge – planting a church in Greenwich – whether those sending or being sent things will be different. How can we love one another well through this time?
1 Corinthians 3:10-17 50-60 churches close each year in the Church of England. Most of these churches have at one stage been healthy and thriving. What went wrong? And what is the key to ensuring churches stay healthy?
