The Way of Love

No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do,
I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

Home Groups
Our mid-week groups have been studying “ReGroup” by the people who
brought us “Boundaries”. It is a powerful study that challenges the way
we do home groups, church and life! People are really enjoying it.
There are daytime and evening groups available
Please talk to Ps Shane if you would like to be part of a group
