Saturday - CAR WASH
Election day this Saturday will see many people drive past RCRC on thir way to vote, decide that their car is dirty, and drive on in to see us!
We are going to be over-run with clients, and need every available person to come and help. Monies will go towards the Ormiston School Chaplaincy, and we will be inviting clients to come to the next discovery service.
From 8am - 1pm we need you, your smile and your elbow grease. Contact Damien Watson (Ph 3821 5181) or e-mail damienwatson@optusnet.com.au to find out when we need people the most.
Sunday
9 AM: Hospitality: we all know what it is, but how do we do it? Just with a small circle of friends? Or is the Gospel's radical call to something more and something greater? Could this include a baptised barbie (the 'steak' thing, not the 'doll' thing)? Brisbane's somewhat laid back and relational culture could be one of God's greatest gifts! Read ahead at John 4:27-42
5 PM: “I’m a material girl, in a material world…” Its true of us, isn’t it? We focus on the fact that we live in a material, physical world. We want to know about the things we can touch, taste, smell, see and hear. But when we read the Bible, especially when we read the book of Revelation, the curtain is drawn back and we see that this world is not all there is. That there are things happening in the supernatural realm, that we only catch a glimpse of. So this Sunday, as we look at #3 on the “I have a friend who struggles with…” voting, we will be looking at Understanding the Supernatural World. And we will see that we are in a battle – a spiritual battle – of which the outcome is already certain. I encourage you to read through Revelation 12-14 before you come.
What if? (next Sunday)
In both services next week we’ll have a special discovery service that will address the reasonably common belief that there is no God, and that the Bible is irrelevant. It will be a prime opportunity to invite friends who may be wondering about these things.
We also have lots of flyers for you to take. Everyone could take five or ten to give to friends, workmates, fiends at school, people on your street. Hey, just invite as many people as you can!
The service will be repeated at both 9am and 5pm services, so if one of those times is not convenient, you can make the most of the other!
Prayer Points
• Responsible use of world resources and environment. Can we ask God for rain without asking him to make us responsible in the way we use our world? Ask that we might understand what it means to be just stewards of land and creation (Gen 2)
• Chaplaincy at Ormiston really needs support (mainly financial) from our local community: any ideas? Seek God’s wisdom here, and pray that Peter Gavel’s work will be blessed.
• Kailah and Bryce Hudson have been very ill with a serious strain of influenza – please pray for continued recovery and renewed health
