MIDWEEK NEWS
Coming up this
Sunday:
Sunday 9 AM: What to do while we
wait. So far
in our series on 2 Thessalonians we have focused on the return of Jesus
and the
coming of the antichrist which is associated with that. Through that we
have
seen the extreme confidence that followers of Jesus have, in regards to
His
power over the antichrist, and his work in us. But what do we do until
then?
Paul now goes on to focus on that time, and to speak about the Word of
God and
its work, both in the world and in Christian lives and Christian
communities.
But in particular how we are to be involved in its increasing influence
throughout both spheres, the world and the Christian community. Read
ahead in 2
Thessalonians 3:1-15.
Sunday 5
PM: So where a church in
our
community. Is our community any different because we are here? Would we
be
missed by the community if we were disappeared overnight? What is
God’s
desire for our community – as much as we can determine that? And
what is
our part in his plan? And the big question we need to answer is this:
are we
prepared to follow his call?
MENTORS
NEEDED!!!
Are you a
committed
follower of Jesus Christ?
Do you love
people and
want to see them grow in their faith?
Then you are
exactly the
sort of person that we are looking for!
There are young
people
in this church who are crying out for someone to mentor / disciple them
as they
negotiate their way through life and seek to grow in their passion to
love and
serve their savior Jesus. Having an older person who invests time,
energy and
their life, into them, is such a blessing to have.
On Monday 28th
August,
from 7.30pm we will be having a mentor enquiry, training and equipping
night @
the church. We would encourage as many people as possible to
come
along, check it out, and possibly begin a journey of having a huge
impact on
someone’s life.

LEARN
TO PREACH?
On
Saturday 2nd
September we will begin a ‘learn to preach’ training
group.
This
will focus on
learning some of the skills to be able to preach and
teach.
This is
not just
for Sunday services, but in any context in which we might teach the
Bible.
Areas of
focus will
be:
Understanding what
the Bible says
Applying
the Bible
to today
Writing
a sermon
Illustrations
We will
hold these
for 4 weeks on Saturday mornings. There is some preparation work to do,
so
register your interest early.
If you
are
interested in being a part of this or have any questions about it,
please
contact either Dave (dave@redlandscrc.org.au) or
Clinton
(clinton@redlandscrc.org.au)
HELP
WITH CADETS AND GEMS
Every
two weeks, on
Friday nights, GEMS (for girls) and Cadets (for boys) meet at the
church. They
play games, do badge / craft work, have a lot of fun… but most of
all
they learn more about what it means to be a disciple of
Jesus.
God has
been
blessing these ministries this year and they have experienced a growth
in
numbers. But this has put a strain on the leadership teams of these
ministries.
If you
think you
might have the time to devote to these young people, we would love to
hear from
you.
