Welcome to our online service this Sunday! We’re not trying to re-create a “normal” Sunday service, but today and over the coming Sundays we hope to explore with you how we can still gather as church family to worship God and hear from him, even when we can’t all be in the same place.
The church has left the building!
Below is a YouTube playlist. That means it is a collection of videos which will play one after another when you click the play button. The sung worship is borrowed from other people’s videos (quite legitimately) and the bit in the middle is us. You can press a button in the bottom right to make it full screen. You can also make comments below the video as we go along – everyone will be able to see these. We’ve kept it really simple for this first one, not least because we only had a couple of days to think about it…
You don’t have to watch at 10.30 on Sunday, the videos will be there for the rest of the week, but if you can please join us at that time for a service which will be united in time if not place.
Thank you Astrid, Paul and the church support team for this new method of joining our Sunday church service. Whilst it feels quite strange without the rest of congregation & musicians, it offers a very good focal point for worship during this national emergency. I shall continue to use this medium during this period of social distancing. I pray for our collective good health and swift end to the pandemic. God bless.
Good morning! Thanks for joining us.
What a great idea to enable us to join together like this – thank you Paul and Astrid. It has been the highlight of my day praising God and knowing my brothers and sisters at TBC were doing the same.
Dear Both of you.
Thank you so deeply. It felt like we were with the whole church family, worshipping and being taught and strengthened to face these so difficult times. Thank you for being so relevant and so there for us all. It feels that our church family is still functioning and that we are not alone. We do believe that God is with us through the hard things we face and that, when we feel we cannot cope with what is thrown at us in life, God’s grace comes in. We will gladly join in with this day of prayer for our nation and our world. Blessings to all at TBC. We will continue to pray for you, Astrid and Paul, that God will strengthen, guard and guide you at this time as always.
some people might have trouble trying to get on … it’s taken a few goes to connect!
Thank you to you both. strange to do church this way but will get use to it, sat in my bedroom with coffee different way of doing church 😊 stay safe you are in my prayers 🙏
All 6 of us watched the service together. Thank you! Just off to have coffee and biscuits!!
Thank you, really enjoyed worshipping with you all this morning x
Thankyou for being there.
Hello .
This was Very Well Done. Thank you to the both of you and all that helped.
Muriel and I feel as if we have just been to a normal service and are have heard God Speaking to us..
Once again.
A Great Big Thank You. God Bless and keep you safe.
Thank you so much for this service, Paul and Astrid, and thanks too to those who made this service possible.
It is so good to know that I’m not alone and to be spiritually refreshed and comforted. You have also inspired me with your words, Paul, not to be discouraged in this situation and to carry on trying.
Thanks again
Great service Paul and Astrid .
Thank you for keeping us together through this storm . For encouraging us and grounding us .
Thank you Paul and Astrid for this mornings message. Sermon was exactly what I needed to hear. Just as it started I was feeling very low, and then Richard, my stepson arrived with Mother’s Day gifts, and lifted my spirits. We had to talk with him in the garden and me indoors as he has a cold! – not the virus but….
I had paused the transmission and then carried on and felt much better on hearing the full sermon. God gives us little nuggets of hope and encouragement when we need them . Really helpful and inspiring Paul, specially the story of the gunmen in church, and God’s giving us the grace to endure when we actually need it. You never know when that is going to be.
I really appreciated the responsive prayers of intercession too .
Looking forward to next weeks already. Love Penny
Thanks to you both. I enjoyed you service not as much as normal but life’s not normal at his present time.
God bless Carol
