Exciting changes for our Seniors
At our recent Seniors Task Force meeting, it was clear that we had many opportunities to further grow our ministry to the seniors in our church and our community.
As a result of those discussions, we’ve come up with two changes to our seniors ministry.
Firstly, we’ve decided to include men as well as women in ‘Time Out’, our fortnightly, two-hour social time on Fridays, and to reflect this change, we’re now calling the group, ‘Prime Time’. The first, new-look Prime time will be on the 19th July at 10am in the church.
Secondly, we’re going to run our Seniors’ Service every month of the year, and it’s moving to a Monday. The first Monday Seniors’ Service and Lunch will be held on the 12th August at 11am.
Our prayer is that these new initiatives will help us better serve the seniors inside our church and provide a great place to invite friends who don’t normally join us on Sundays.
We’d love you to join us!
Slaves and masters
One of the strangest things in the New Testament is the fact that the practice of human slavery is not frowned upon.
In our modern, individualistic society, we find any challenge to our freedom to be an attack on our human rights.
Yet, when the Apostle Paul spoke about slavery, he chose to help believers work within a contemporary social structure without calling for that structure to be dismantled.
This Sunday, John Wilson will speak to us from Ephesians chapter 6 verses 5 to 9, where God tells slaves and masters how to live in a way that pleases God.
Come along at 9am or 5pm and find out what this ancient word means in our modern culture, as we hear God’s word speak today.
