TEACHING SERIES
BEND, DON’T BREAK
Sunday 7 April – Sunday 28 April
A short series on mental health, wellbeing and resilience. How do we recognise when we were near breaking point? And how do we build healthy patterns and expectations for life? How do we care well for ourselves and for each other?
‘I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:2)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sunday Gatherings:
What Happens?
Our Sunday Gatherings are very welcoming and informal. They last for approx 1 hour. We spend some time worshipping together, hearing a Bible-based talk that inspires and encourages and during the service there will be an opportunity for prayer.
What resources are available for Children & Youth each Sunday?
Children and young people are the church of today as well as the church of tomorrow.
In-Person: At our weekly gatherings at Riverside House Sarah Thomson (our Head of Children’s Ministry) and John Goodliff (our Head of Youth Ministry) are currently running in-person groups each Sunday during our 10am Service. For our Monthly Joint Gatherings please refer ot the event description as this can change each month.
Note: There are not any Children’s or Youth provisions during our 11:30am service.
Online: Our in-person resources used each week are also available online via our church blog. This means that if you are unable to attend one of our Sunday Gatherings in-person, you can still study and follow along with the same material at a time that is best for you. However you study, we encourage you to engage with your group as much as possible.
