‘Loving Lord, may your shining light fill the hearts of all who live, work and worship here in Littlemore.’
We are a church with a heart for the community. Our vision is to be an inclusive, seven-day church that embodies the love of God in our community. We share this vision with the founder of our church, John Henry Newman, who had a real pastoral heart for the people of Littlemore. We are on a journey together, prayerfully discerning God’s call to us as we serve in our local community. If you’d like us to pray for you please let us know.
‘Saved Through Christ and In His Hands’
Thursday 24th September 7.30pm on zoom.
What do New Testament writers mean when they talk about being ‘in Christ’?
The meaning of this phrase, which is especially important to St. Paul, is a longstanding puzzle. Teresa Morgan offers a new interpretation, and explores what being ‘in Christ’ tells us about the nature of Christ and what it means to live in Christ’s hands between the Resurrection and the end time.
40-45-minute talk, followed by discussion.
