Flawless Bible Tour

This Sunday our church will participate in the ‘Flawless Bible Tour’, as the Anglican Aid team travels around the Diocese in April to read paragraphs of set chapters of the Bible at each church. The purpose is to celebrate the wonderful gift of God’s word that we enjoy and to raise awareness and financial resources for the massive need to train men and women in the Global South to understand and teach the Word of God. They’ll be with us Sunday at 4pm to read Numbers 34 – 36 and Deuteronomy 1 – 2. Why not drop in and read it with them?

Our Parish Council chose for our church to give money to Anglican Aid to help churches ravaged by the recent cyclone in Vanuatu. If you can also give, please go to www.anglicanaid.org.au/news/Vanuatu-Emergency-Appeal or phone 1800 653 903.

Giving update

Each week we need to receive $5,200, and our average in February was $5,125 per week, leaving a deficit of $75 per week. Overall for the year, we were $2,677 behind. Please pray that we close that gap and cover the financial needs of our church as we seek to grow the gospel of Jesus. To give by direct debit or Visa or MasterCard visit www.oakflatsanglican.com/give
