This Sunday, we focus on another spiritual disciple – “Sabbath.” Instituted by God, Sabbath is something that should be of utmost important to us. It is a time to put God first and rest in His presence from our labours, worries and fears.

Thursday, 11 November 2021 – Truth
Good afternoon Church family, Last Sunday we looked at why it is so important to worship God in spirit and in truth.
