Friday Night Trivia Night -
7:30pm - 10pm at the church
Contact Jesse Murphy for more details 04 0540 6210
SUNDAY
9am: "New Identity" Today there's talk about identity theft: people steal your details, your money, your name and you may never get it back. When Jesus does his work of transforming grace he does not de-personalise or steal your identity. He recreates it. He re-humanises people. And all this is possible because he defeats the very forces that separate us from God. The question we might ask is what difference this makes.
5pm: "Who gets invited to God's party?" If God were having a party, who would get invited? APEC leaders? Mr Howard? Mr Bush? And assuming there was a party - what's the reason for the celebration?
Don Ridder, a church planter from Florida, USA will open God's word for us on Sunday night. Don is here for discussions with the Christian Reformed Churches in relation to ministry formation and mission development in local churches. Please make him very welcome.
Church Planting Meeting
This Saturday from 10am-12pm we will be continuing to look at church planting, and in particular, church planting in Redland Bay. Don Ridder, a church planter from the USA will speak to us and answer some questions for part of the time, and the rest will be devoted to developing a "Community Profile" on Redland Bay to give us a greater understanding of the community in that place.
For discussion: Elder Task & Term
As indicated a few Sundays ago, the Church Council is discussing some changes to the task of Elder, their term of service, and process of election. We would the congregation to discuss this and so have attached a document for you to read. Whilst we are not making any ‘in principal' changes, we are making these suggestions to streamline processes of election as well as introduce a little more flexibility to the term an elder serves.
We will soon be publicising an opportunity to discuss this as a congregation (an October Saturday breakfast on a date to be announced), but warmly welcome advance comment and questions which can be directed to dave@redlandscrc.org.au.

A while back we asked for people who are willing to fill the seats in their cars with passengers! We need you now!
There are numerous people in our church family from various suburbs who can't get to church on Sundays. The majority of people live in Birkdale, Wello Point and Ormiston. If you can help please email, ring or come see me at church (I'm at K@C in mornings and behind the sound desk at night).
Please prayerfully consider this and let me know if you can help!
Thanks, Lisa Keegan.
