Stories from John Series

Stories from John Series

Our series looking at John’s gospel examines key encounters people had with Jesus in the last phase of his ministry as we lead up to Easter.

This March and April, we want you to come on a six-week journey through John’s stories about how Jesus interacts with significant people. We’ll be looking at everything from healing and miracles, to worship and discipleship, how he dealt with deception and despair, then ultimately hope and new beginnings.

Here’s what our messages will be looking at each week…

• 3rd March: Healing the Blind Man

• 10th March: Jesus and Lazarus (Praying for Healing Service)

• 17th March: Jesus and Mary

• 24th March: Jesus and Judas (Palm Sunday)

• 31st March: Jesus in the Garden (Easter Sunday)

• 7th April: Jesus and Peter

2024 Short Term Missions

Throughout the year, Woodies sends teams of people out on short-term mission and in 2024 we are planning trips to Uganda, Romania, Peru and France.

Missions are made up of small teams of people who are willing to carve time out of their lives to go and support the work of some of our Global Partners and God's global church. Short-term mission enables us to step out and in doing so we are blessed as we seek to bless others.

Find out about the opportunities on offer in 2024 for people to go on missions to:
Uganda | Romania | Peru | France

For more details and to find out how to apply to be part of a mission, visit our Short Term Missions page.

"Understanding your identity in Christ is absolutely essential to your success at living the victorious Christian life.”
- Neil Anderson

This February, we want you to come on a journey of well-being and wholeness as we dive into a new series about understanding our identity in God.

The search for identity and belonging is a preoccupation for many people in the 21st century. Exploring ‘who I am’ is a great question for followers of Jesus, but the answer may be different to the prevailing spirit of our age.

It’s a counter cultural idea that our identity is rooted in a relationship with another and a facet of our relationship with God rather than something that we ‘own’ and can shape. Lost at the fall, a new and healed identity is one of the things Jesus came to restore.

Our sense of identity can have a profound affect on our sense of personal value and calling, our ability to overcome life’s challenges and our mental and emotional health.

Over this series, we will be looking at three aspects of the rich identity that God gives to all his people and look at how it helps us to deepen our relationship with God, work out our personal sense of identity and find wholeness, peace and purpose in the world.

Here’s what our messages will be looking at each week…

• 4th February: Child

• 11th February: Citizen

• 18th February: Friend

We are also running our Wholeness course starting on 13th February, which we encourage you to sign up for. Its runs over six consecutive Tuesday evenings.
