Sunday
9am & 5pm: Healing & Mystery. Who has not struggled with the reality of suffering? Whether it's suffering in our personal lives or in our world, it's dark presence can be terrifying and mysterious. There are some things we simply cannot understand. Even so, God allows us to see something of his character and power even in these times. Even then he may bless us with incredible endurance. The Bible tells us that some whom the Lord used most powerfully had some of the deepest challenges to life and faith. Read ahead at 2 Cor 12:1-10.
Church Picnic 11:30am onwards (after the morning service)
Capalaba Regional Park (behind Bunnings). Everyone is welcome. BYO picnic needs, foods, chairs, etc.
Clinton back on deck...
We give thanks for Clinton being back on deck this week. While not on full duties, Clinton hopes to preach every second week, the first of these being PM Church on Oct 28. Clinton also hopes to be in the office for at least a few hours each day (Mon-Thurs). We continue to uphold Clinton, Tracy and the children as Clinton undertakes the rigorous treatment. They remain very thankful for the wonderful support and encouragement they are receiving: it's another way of making God's grace and goodness clear. Tracy's mother, Tania Kroon, will arrive on Friday: family is a great gift. Please continue to pray for healing and recovery.
Just in...
