	The Service Practice part 2: Hiddenness Practicing The Way     22nd February Service is meant to be practised in our current and close environments, not just in new and distant ones. Jesus modelled this ordinary form of service by washing his closest followers’ feet. Service — perhaps more than other spiritual practices — can be pursued with the wrong motive: to be seen or to feel good. To avoid this, we can choose for some of our service to be done in hiddenness. When done in secret, service shapes not just what we do, but what God does in us.
	The Service Practice part 1: Love Practicing The Way     15th February All spiritual practices are meant to transform us into people of love. When we mistake the 'how' (spiritual practices) for the 'why' (becoming people of love) in our spiritual formation, we do not bear fruit. Our maturity (or fruit) as apprentices of Jesus is evidenced by love practically expressed through service To become a person of love is to be a first-fruits of God’s Kingdom on earth. We step toward this by serving where we are, starting today
	God of Justice 2: The Worship God Hates Zach Lambert     8th February Worship without justice is offensive to God. Zach teaches from the book of Amos about God’s desire that all spirituality is accompanied by justice work. (Zach is the Lead Pastor and co-founder of Restore church in Austin, Texas)
	God of Justice 1: Love That Won't Let Go Zach Lambert     25th January Justice is a central theme throughout the Biblical story—talked about hundreds of times throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Isaiah 30:18 says, “The Lord is a God of justice.” But it’s vital for us to remember that all healthy justice work is rooted in God’s love for us and for our neighbours. (Zach is the Lead Pastor and co-founder of Restore church in Austin, Texas)
	RCM Vision Sunday 2026 Marlow Leadership Team     18th January Members of the Team lay out our aims and plans for 2026, including key priorities, refreshed values, new strapline and the new branding. Exciting!
	Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead to 2026 Anthea Wratten     4th January Anthea leads us in an Examen Prayer (whilst this tool is often used on a daily basis, it can be just as beneficial at the end / start of a year).
