As we’ve studied Hebrews 11 on a Sunday, among other things, we’ve been moved and inspired by Biblical examples of faith as they’ve pointed beyond themselves to Jesus – “the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (12v2). Therefore, this summer why not download a Christian biography or two to listen to, to see more examples of how God has worked in and through regular people for his glory?

Holy Redeemer Day Away (audio now available)
‘Go and Make Disciples’
Saturday 7th June @ Emmanuel Church Wimbledon
The Holy Redeemer annual day away this year focused on how to be a disciple-making church. We gathered at Emmanuel Church Wimbledon and enjoyed two terrific talks by Jonathan Fletcher, former vicar of Emmanuel. The day had a very wet start but by the end of the morning brightened up, so after being fed by God’s word and by lunch kindly prepared by Lynn and Ian Andrews we went for a lovely walk across Wimbledon Common. The day was rounded off by tea, discussion and prayer.
Then on Sunday morning, Jonathan spoke for us again, delivering a third talk on our theme of being a disciple-making church. All three talks are now available to download from our talks page.
