Church Reopening
Great news - on Sunday - church will re-open our doors for the first time in over 3 months! If you feel safe and comfortable - we would love you to join us! If you'd prefer to wait - that's fine as well - please continue to join us on the livestream.
During November, our church services will be minimal, as we follow all relevant Covid rules, and continue to livestream.
If you are feeling unwell, or have been ordered to isolate, please don't come.
There will be no singing, no kids ministry and no morning tea.
You must wear a mask inside and you must check in.
After church, please move outside quickly, where you are welcome to talk.
We look forward to a full return to church in December.
Over the last few weeks I have encouraged you to:
Set your eyes on the things of God (Col 3:1-4)
Grow in Faith, Not Fear (Luke 12:4-7)
This week I want to encourage you to come to GIVE not GET. In Hebrews, we are told that when we gather:
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works (Hebrews 10:24)
Too often we come to church thinking about what what works for ME. Is it convenient? Will I see my friends? What will morning tea be like? Am I having my needs met?
Hebrews urges us not to think about what WE can get OUT of church, but what we can GIVE to others. How can we go to church with an attitude of loving service? Of encouraging each other to do acts of love and good works?
How are you going to serve others at church on Sunday?
What are we looking at this Sunday? 1 John 2:12 - 27
Do you want to be a winner? John tells us that followers of Jesus are already winners - and so can live as winners in this world. Read 1 John 2:12-27 to prepare for Church on Sunday.
