"As Christians, we are here to serve. To serve through Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve. And as we know, from a Christian perspective, greatness is to be found through service. We are here by our service, within church and outside church, to serve the community of which we are a part and by that to show the love of Jesus." (Bishop John)

A thank you from Bishop John
At a recent thank you event for church volunteers, Bishop John offered his thanks for all they do for the church and community.
This short video highlights just some of the reasons why giving your time and skills for the church is so important.
In this video two volunteers talk about how and why they give their time for the church.
