What's a 'Sofa Sermon'?!

Sofa sermons are a way of helping us think about current issues from a Christian point of view.  Each sofa sermon consists of three or four people (on a sofa!) being interviewed about a particular topic.  The people on the sofa are mainly St. Matthew's members who have particular expertise in the area being discussed.  The sofa sermon happens in place of the normal sermon, in an otherwise largely unchanged service.

What's a 'Zone Service'?!

In June 2010 we had a set of four zoned services, based on passages from John's gospel.  Instead of a sermon, a variety of zones were set up around the church which allowed the passages and themes to be explored in a variety of different ways - from discussion to quiet reflection, from visual arts to poetry, or through chatting over a cup of coffee.  The aim was to enable us to explore the passages in ways they found to be most helpful.  Each 'zone time' began with a short introduction to get us thinking about the passage and its themes.
