Church news for the week beginning 26th March 2017

Today’s Bible Talk

Today Jodie concludes our series looking at the Five Solas of the Reformation, with the next talk titled  ‘For the glory of God alone’.

Weekendaway is next week!

Today is the very last day to register for next weekend’s church holiday on 31st March to 2nd April at Waterslea, near Nowra. We need to tell Youthworks our numbers by Monday morning. Please do everything you can to join us, as it’s set to be a very special time away. Peter Jensen has prepared some terrific talks on the topic ‘Being Human’, and we’re praying that God will feed us in a powerful way as the Word is preached. For the Saturday night you will need to dress up as your favourite book or movie character. 

Remember – if you can’t afford to pay, we have people who will subsidise your fees. Money has already been given, so please come and join us! And if you need to pay us later, that’s fine, too!

Service changes for next Sunday

Due to the Weekendaway, next Sunday morning at 10am we have an informal service, with Mark Howard as our guest speaker, who will be talking on the topic ‘Effective and Productive in the Knowledge of Jesus’ from 2 Peter chapter 1 verses 1 to 15. Our 5pm evening service will not be running this weekend.
