Today\u2019s service was split into several parts as we continued the discussion surrounding the upcoming challenge of reworking the church buildings into something more sustainable for the future.

We were led in today\u2019s discussion by a brief text outlining a possible statement for what it means to be St. Paul\u2019s Church.

St. Paul\u2019s East Ham

A local church

Bringing the love of Jesus to our wonderful community

Jesus asked, \u201cWhat is the Kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with?It is like this. A man takes a mustard seed and plants it in his \ufb01eld.The plant grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make their nests in its branches.\u201dLuke 13:18-19
