Weekly Contact 14 October 08

Hey guys & goils! Sorry I'm a day behind with this week's Weekly Contact. If you had anywhere near the kind of two days I've had, you might begin to understand, or perhaps even sympathise! Anyway, pushing aside all of the disingenuous words of 'consolement', what about last Sunday?

 

Sunday morning: Michelle Little made it to the church on time, along with her husband Thomas and baby Alex Michelle Little to be dedicated. It was another good turn out by our New Lifer's and a good show of strength by the Little family. What a name for a family of giants! Did you see the size of those guys? I felt like running for my sling and 5 stones!

 

Well, twas another great service as we worshipped together and looked at "How Do I Know I'm a Christian". Positive comments were flying afterwards from both visitors and regulars alike.

 

Sunday night: I finished a short series on "Experiencing the Glory of God". I shared how that God reveals his glory not only "in church", but in the desert place as with Moses at the Burning Bush, or Joshua when facing his greatest challenge; or Isaiah in his time of grief due to the loss of someone he loved; or David who fled from Saul, and moved from cave to cave. God can show up wherever you're at and whatever you're going through.

 

FIST: Don't forget men, FIST is back on Thursday night at 7.45 pm. Please plan to attend as a lot of thought and effort is put into this event by the team. If you want stew beforehand, then get along early. Stew etc will be served from 7 pm. Next week it's BREAKOUT at 7.45 pm.

 

Don't forget the order: The 1st Thursday night is VIRTUOUS WOMEN; 2nd Thursday is ADVANCE; 3rd Thursday is FIST; 4th Thursday is BREAKOUT. When there's a 5th Thursday (as there is with this month), that's a FREE NIGHT!!!

 

Question of the week: The answer to last week's question was Methuselah who died when he was 969. Several people got it right. However, one person wrote and said, "I know the answer, but I don't know how to spell it!" This week's question is, "Who was that person?" Go on, have a go. I'll let you know the answer and embarrass him or her next week.

 

This week's Bible Verse (another new item) is, Proverbs 1:5 "let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance".

 

Stay focused; stay strong; be a God-influence this week and get along to church on Sunday.
