Live Worship

Malmesbury Abbey Skate 2013 is fast approaching. This year the advertising and T-shirts have the strap-line ‘Live Worship’ based on Romans 12:1 where St Paul urges the church to offer everything to God as a living sacrifice - including our skateboarding. MAS 2013 is the Body of Christ in unbelievable committed action – everybody necessary, everybody playing a part. We need you. It’s fun.
