Sunday
9AM: 36 six months interest free! You deserve it! Pamper yourself! Drive away, no more to pay! ... hey we've all heard it. Today have to wait for anything. Is it any wonder that we get stressed when life doesn't work out? Jonah knew all about that, but not before becoming a piece of vomit and totally losing perspective. What does Jesus' coming tell us about God's patience, and how can it help us with ours?
Stay behind after the morning service for a sausage sizzle. Bring a dessert to share.
5PM: If you were to start a world changing movement, who would pick to assist you? Probably those with experience, charisma, a proven track record and an undying commitment to see the task done. And so naturally, that is who God would choose. Isn’t it? But when we read the Word we begin to see something different. We see failures, stuff ups and ‘spiritual’ losers being transformed by God for his work of changing the world. So if you think that you life and your past has disqualified you from the grace and the power of God, this Sunday night is for you. If you think that your clean record, your proven faithfulness makes you the ideal candidate, this has something to say to you. Read ahead in Luke 5:1-11 and John 21:1-17.
Prayer

- Clinton visits the oncologist tomorrow (Friday). Please pray for a positive outcome, and that together Clinton and Tracy will know the nearness of the Lord and be strengthened in the belief that He is the Lord of life
- Seek the Lord's blessing on the Community Christmas Carols next week (Sunday Dec 10). This week some 4000 brochures will be distributed, and everyone is encouraged to ask friends and neighbours to this event. Pastor Dave will be speaking at the Redlands Carols in the Park (Capalaba) on Saturday Dec 09, and RCRC people are also presenting a nativity play - please ask that the Gospel will be clearly seen and heard in these contexts.
