Midweek News
Sunday
Dave continues the series on healing: this week "Healing & Faith". This is possibly the biggest question after the question ‘why': what's the connection between faith and healing? Ask 20 people and you can easily get more than 20 answers on that one. So we'll be looking at a few key passages in the NT and listening to what God has to say to us. You may want to look at Matt 17: 14-21.
kids @ nite resumes on Sunday 14th October.
This term we will investigate what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit and His presence and power in our lives. We'll explore the Pentecost event, the love and nearness of the Holy Spirit to each of us, the wonder of the Trinity and how the Spirit was involved in creation and heaps more.
Children will join in the church service for the first part of the service for the entire term.
Join us for awesome activities, piñatas, science explosions, videos, stories, and fun. Bring a friend!
Age groups: prep to grade 7
Breakfast Meeting: Saturday 20th, 7:30am
We have another opportunity to meet together on Saturday week. These are important times for the church community to focus on a few things together. This particular Saturday breakfast we'll be discussing
- The new RCRC Elders Terms & Tasks. The main changes here are a slight amendment to the way elders are elected and nominated, and changed terms of service. These are fully outlined in the document attached to your email. This document has already been available for the last five weeks or so from the Information booth. Everyone will also receive one on Sunday in their newsletter. Dave will give us a full run-down on the document at the meeting
- These changes are presented by the Eldership for adoption by the congregation. A vote of the members will be taken at the meeting
- Building and facilities update. We will receive the latest version of the plans. These are being presented to the congregation for comment, and we will come together again before the year is out for final approval. The building Committee is very interested in your feedback: please send it through to Hemelaar@royalfoods.com.au or call Frank on 0146 000 500
- Financial overview: Eddie Bos will bring us up to date with the overall financial picture. Audited statements will be presented to the congregation at our forthcoming AGM meeting (date to be confirmed)
We encourage full attendance of this meeting: everyone is welcome to attend, irrespective of how long you have been part of the RCRC family. It's great to just sit and share a meal together! Only members are permitted to vote on matters where that is required, however
Church Picnic: Sunday 21st 11:30am (after the morning service)
Where: Capalaba Regional Park (behind Bunnings)
When: after morning service about 11:30am
BYO picnic needs
This will be a time of getting to know one another, sharing
food and good conversations.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Let's start making a difference together.
NEED for RE Teachers 2008
God has given us incredible opportunities in Australia to get His saving message into the minds of children, as we teach them in Religious Education lessons in the public schools. It may only be a question of time (if we follow the American trends) that this will no longer be permitted.
Unfortunately however, there are classes in schools in our local area that are totally missing out on hearing the message simply because we can't fill the classes with Christian volunteers. You don't need teaching experience, but an obedient heart to tell children the only message that will save them. My RE teachers range in age from 18 to 70. Some even work full-time and have chosen to taken a couple of hours out of their work schedule to take a couple of classes. I am looking for men and women who will commit to taking up this worthwhile role.
I am seeking one RE teacher for Ormiston Primary for next year. ( just 1 hour a fortnight)- on a Tuesday or any other day. There are several RE teachers required in other local schools.
If you have any queries or would like to assist, please contact me.
Thanks so much,
Janette Hemelaar

Prayer
- Clinton, Tracy and the kids have been holidaying in Noosa, and will be there until Saturday. They have been doing all the juicing etc. while there, and despite the extra burden this imposes, they have been having a great time together. Clinton has an appointment with his oncologist on Friday. Please continue to remember Clinton before the Lord
- Burma continues to experience unrest, despite the situation moving from the front pages of the papers. Please pray for Bella, Israel and Christobel, along with all the children at New Life. Pray for peace in the country, for a just and responsible government, and for the good news of Jesus to be received and believed by people.
- Remember our chaplains: Carlee Spiers at Victoria Point High School, Rebecca Cooper at Wellington Point State Primary School. Ormiston State School is seeking a new chaplain as Peter Gavel has finished his term there. There is also a great need for RE teachers at Ormiston
