November 2007


Christmas is here – yet again. Amid the shopping, the parties and the hectic running around, let’s not forget what Christmas is all about – our loving God is acting to save people. 

On Christmas morning, we meet at – 8:00am and 9:30am.

8:00am – Holy Communion – a quieter, more traditional service.

9:30am – Christmas for all the family. It’s not too long, and children are very welcome.

Come and celebrate it with us! You’ll be very welcome!

 

“Prosperity, power, health, success.”

These words describe what many in our western culture strive for. These things are attractive. In many places, church leaders who embrace and preach such ideas as being the marks of being a Christian are enthusiastically received. Thousands flock to hear them in the hope of emulating their wealthy lifestyles.

But are these things what God promises to those who belong to Jesus?

This Sunday morning, we follow the voyage to Rome of the Apostle Paul. And as we do so, we’ll learn about the marks of a true Apostle – and a true Christian.

We invite you to join us on Sunday morning (November 25th) as we turn to Acts 27 and Acts 28. All welcome!

Prime Minister John HowardThe Federal election is almost upon us. Interest rates are up. There’s the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, there’s the Workplace legislation and there are the leadership aspirations of the Treasurer.

Given all that – if you were given the opportunity to speak with the Prime Minister – what would you want to say to him? For that matter, what would you say to any world leader?

In Acts 24, the Apostle Paul has an extended opportunity to speak with the Governor of Judaea – and his wife. What does he say? What’s the great message he wants to share? Is it important today?

Join us on Sunday morning as we learn about “Assassination, Injustice and Opportunity”. All welcome!

Mark LandrumOn Sunday November 4th, we’re having just one church gathering – at 9:30am. (There’s no 8:00am church this week.)

We hope you can join us at 9:30am – to hear our special guest Mark Landrum from Jews for Jesus, as he speaks about ‘Jesus in the Old Testament’.
