Pictures of the Church

The New Testament uses several pictures or models of the church each of which shed light on a different aspect of its nature and importance. During September at 8.00, 9.30 and 11.00 we will look at four of those models and what they have to teach us about what the wider church and Christ Church, New Malden should be. The themes connected to each picture will be:

• The People of God:  The Church being united, particularly across the barriers that normally divide people

• The Body of Christ:  The Church using its different gifts and talents to bring Jesus to the world

• The Family of God:  The Church forming a radical, caring community

• A Holy Temple:  The Church being distinctive in the way it lives and a people in whom God is found
