Since our summer rhythm tends to be quieter and slower in the life of the church, we wanted to provide a space to engage, have fun and connect with one another. An aspect of our vision is to make a positive difference for Jesus in the city of Dublin socially. This means that we don’t […]

Summer Community Banquet – 5 Jul
Jesus loved to be at banquets! He spends most of Luke’s gospel either coming from, at, or going to a meal of some kind. He loved to eat with people; it was his way of doing mission and building community. What is staggering, however, wasn’t his desire to party, but with whom he wanted to party! In Luke […]

City Group Leaders Training – 16 Apr
As a church grows bigger it must grow smaller! In other words as the number of people in a church increases, the number of smaller contexts for people to connect must increase too, otherwise a church can feel like a place you attend once a week where you sit next to strangers. A church is […]
United Across All Earthly Divides

Nehemiah: Rebuild & Renew
The 5th century BC proved to be a tough period for the people of God. They had previously returned from exile under the decree of Cyrus The Great (in 538 BC), yet despite the great joy of returning home to Jerusalem, things had not gone as they had planned or dreamed. Many Jews had not […]
Finding Community in Lockdown
I am not a charismatic or outgoing person. I don’t command attention when I step into a room; on the contrary, I run far away from it. I was initially grateful for the lockdown restrictions: I didn’t want to have to make small talk with strangers, and I certainly didn’t want anyone to distract me […]
Easter to Pentecost
What do we do in the waiting? In the modern technological era, with everything available at our fingertips and fibre broadband across the city, the concept of waiting is perhaps one we’re less accustomed to. Yet in a fast-paced society, COVID-19 means that everything has begun to buffer. We’ve been in total lockdown since the […]
