    Tales formt he madhouse
    What impact would Jesus have made on your life if you were the man who cut the wood for his cross, or the maid who watched the trial at the High Priest’s house, or the man who wanted to know the secrets of life and heard Jesus tell him to sell everything he owned?

    ‘Tales from the Madhouse’ is a series of monologues, performed by actors on video,who represent these characters and others, telling their stories, after the event.
    They touch a few raw nerves as we enter into the life experience that is still relevant today, and face the issues that we might also struggle with, as they might have done.

    You’re invited to watch some of these stories, as we look back on the events of Good Friday and Easter ourselves.

    Join us at ST. MATTHEW’S CHURCH HALL, HAYFIELD, 7.30P.M. ON WED.19TH APRIL

    We will also enjoy supper together – PLEASE BRING SOME FOOD TO SHARE.



    Making a sacrifice...


    EVENING PRAISE
    7.30p.m. St.Matthew's church, Hayfield

    What does it mean to you to make a sacrifice? The words of a man named Malachi in the Bible bring to life what it really means. Over the next few months, our evening praise services will look in depth at his words and how true they are as we consider modern-day attitudes to God
