Have you ever imagined what it will be like when Jesus returns? Imagine if you were still alive when you hear trumpets announcing the second coming of Jesus? The first time He came it was a quiet arrival, as a baby amongst sheep and shepherds. Hardly anyone noticed! The next time He comes it will be with trumpets, angels, chariots and fire! The second coming of Jesus Christ will be impossible to miss! And after that—for those who have made Him their Lord and Saviour—we will live on a NEW Earth for eternity. No more pain and suffering; no more sin! This Sunday we’re going to explore what the second coming of Jesus might be like when the seventh trumpet is sounded. And…don’t forget…this Sunday is also Community Lunch Sunday. We’re having lunch after the service. Please bring a plate of food to share if you are able. Everyone is welcome, so don’t hesitate to invite friends and family. 

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
