Spirit and Truth - contemporary worship in South Bristol

Spirit and Truth

"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship". John 4:23 (The Message)

Spirit and Truth is a new opportunity for contemporary worship in South Bristol. Together we will seek to come before God and open our hearts to Him, respond to and reflect on His word and allow His truth to transform our lives. A programme of guest speakers, worship, interactive responses, prayer ministry and relevant, applicable teaching is being planned.

'Spirit and Truth' will take place on the last Sunday of the month at 6.30pm in St Francis Church, North Street, Ashton Gate, Bristol. All are welcome. Find out more.
