No blog for next two weeks

Hey Church! We’re going away for 2 weeks and so there’ll be no church news. However, if there is any need for you to know anything, your LG leader will text you :)

Coming Up!

I wanted to give you a brief update about what is happening the next few weeks.

Firstly, there will be no Life Groups during the school holidays, but feel free to organise your own socials!

Secondly, The Spring Family is heading away for 2 weeks on Monday 28th Sept. so we will be off the grid! We will miss one Sunday due to being away, the second Sunday I will be preaching at Jo and Prav’s wedding!

Refer any questions/queries to the Core Team guys!

Thirdly, we will be having some guest preachers coming in to preach for us while I am away! As usual, I will introduce these men by sharing embarrassing photos of them!

On 4 October we will have Pastor Patrick Chavez from SG Wahroonga! The only concern I have about Patrick is his love of Crocs ;)

On 11 Oct we will have Pastor Louis Baron from Parramatta Christian Church. Sadly, he is not a wiggle, though if he did need a career change, I think he’d give the purple one a run for his money!

Please do what you do so well, joyfully welcome them and make them feel at home!

Church family, we want to thank you deeply and sincerely for your exceedingly generous and kind gift to us. Thank you for honouring my wife and kids in such a special way, they certainly serve their hearts out and it was a joy to see their faces as they opened their gifts. You are all too kind and very naughty! I had a great Daddy-Daughter date with Evie today reading through her new bible, and Jasper is stoked with his Action Bible, and Judah is obsessed with his tool set and truck! It truly is such a joy to be the pastor of this church!

Wow! What a Sunday! It was such a joy to look back on all that the Lord has done and to celebrate it with you all as a church family! We missed those who couldn’t join us, but you were in our hearts! Here is a link to the awesome video that Abi made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5plP-wf5KCc&feature=youtu.be !

You can re-listen to the message here!

Mak is going to be making a video of the service itself so those who missed it can experience it and so that we can remember it and re-live it!

Christianity Explored Coffee and Dessert Night!
CE Dessert night

After much thinking and praying I have decided that I’d love us to run a formal Christianity Explored course alongside our normal method of inviting people to do it one-one. The reality is, we need to try many different ways and means to help reach out!

So the plan is to start with a free Coffee + Dessert Night @ JBrewers to introduce the course and then once people sign up to run the course at the Girls House in Parra over the next 7 weeks.

So…who are you going to invite? Let’s start praying and thinking and going out in boldness! Who knows, it could be flop, and no one may come…or maybe some people will come, and investigate Jesus…and maybe they will become Christians! We won’t know unless we try!

Interested in helping us pull this off? We will need a team of people to be involved running this course, others to bake, others to make coffee. Let me know if you are keen! It will be Tuesday nights next term!
