To round off our evening service series Caitlin shares some stories about living everyday life with the Holy Spirit as well as offering practical steps on how to nurture the presence of God living in us, and how to position ourselves in place for God to use us.

Rachel looks at how our understanding of who the Holy Spirit is impacts the way we approach our church meetings.

Discussion on how the Holy Spirit speaks, focusing on spiritual gifts and what these gifts teach us about God, and then how can we listen to the Holy Spirit.
