Midweek News
Sunday
AM: We welcome Rod McWilliams to the deck. Rod has been part of our Saturday preaching group, and has prepared a message under the supervision of Dave and Clinton. We’re thankful that RCRC can be a place where people’s gifts can be discovered, developed and affirmed. If you have some feedback for Rod, feel free to talk to him direct, and/or email dave@redlandscrc.org.au or Clinton@redlandscrc.org.au
9AM: Can we ever know anything for certain? Are there any absolutes in this world of relativity.
Jesus said: " I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" one of the more strident statements in all of scripture yet we sometimes find ourselves questioning whether statements such as these are little more than pious wish.
This week we begin a series in the early chapters of the Gospel of John and we will seek to address one of the key questions this Gospel asks, "Just who is Jesus Christ ?" Beginning with the testimony of John the Baptist we will explore this very question "Is Jesus really all that the scriptures say he is. How can I know for certain?"
5PM: Who, or what, defines you? Are you defined by your weight, by your job, by your ability? Are you defined by your matching the expectations of others, parents, friends, media? Who says who you are?
We struggle with this sort of stuff. The evidence comes out in a thousand different ways, but its there. It’s a crucial question – who defines our self image? This Sunday night we round off our series on “I have a friend who struggles with…” and will look at the number one issue as voted by you SELF IMAGE. And we will see that they only ONE who can define us is the one who makes us, knows us, cares for us and saves us – our God.
KIDS@CHURCH
For the next three Sundays, Kids @ Church will be running its holiday program to give the leaders a well deserved break.
This means that for those up to and including grade 3, K@C will start half way through the service. Children will be invited to go during the offering.
There will be no K@C for grades 4-6, as they can enjoy and participate in the service.
New Elder
This Sunday in the AM service David Klease will be installed as elder at Redlands CRC. We’re thankful for David’s willingness to serve, and we pray that the Lord will bless him with wisdom, grace and strength to serve.
Upcoming Car Washes
The last car washes for the year will be on 28th October & 25th November. Will advise where money raised will go in the near future. Please add dates to your diary.
