9 AM: When life falls apart...keep trusting (Esther)
When things go really bad we often think God has left us and we've done something wrong. Esther and Mordecai remind us that even in such times, God is still at work and present in our lives. Sure, believing "God is in control" presents a few problems for our faith - especially in a world where (we think) so much is under our control, but the alternative is too ugly to contemplate... Jesus' own life shows us that despite evil people, we can be determined to do the will of the Father. Jesus, who is victorious, will strengthen us. Read ahead: Esther 2:19 - 6:3
5 PM:What’s the cost of our failings? What does it matter when we sin?What does it matter when someone as famous as David commits the most horrible of sins? Is it merely a stutter in the conversation of God, or does it forever color the picture of David? Or is it possible that the cost somehow holds the two in dynamic tension. This week we explore David’s most infamous moment, and examine the cost of sin, and the cost of forgiveness. Read adhead 2 Samuel 23:8-39
Car Wash this Saturday raising money for the Indonesian Earthquake Appeal.
We need around 30 car washers, 3 bbq cooks, 6 welcomers + a few other people for non-strenous odd jobs.
Shifts will be in two hour blocks from 8am-10am; 10am-12md & 11am-1pm.
We are very short on washers for the 11am-1pm shift.
Also please be praying that our clients will sense the welcome and love we show them as something worth pursuing.

Turning serving from a burden to a joy
Possible? It is if you can find out the best ways to use the gifts God has given you, for even using your gifts can be drudgery if you use them in the wrong way or in the wrong context. God's call is for us to be as effective as possible in the way we serve. So come along on Monday nights, starting coming Monday, and be part of the discover your gifts course. Over four Monday nights you will
- find out your best gifts
- work out the best places to use them
- learn ways on how best to work with others
- The more people who learn that, the better the church can do what God calls it to do.
