PRAYER
SN@5: May 3
Guest preacher:
Dr Rev Arseny Ermakov
BTh, MA (New Testament
Studies), PhD (Biblical Studies)
Head of Biblical Studies; Lecturer
in Biblical Studies.
I am a Russian in Australia who
loves teaching the Bible. I find
fascination and inspiration in
meaningful engagement with the
Scripture in the lively atmosphere
of the classroom or in the
seclusion of my study. The issues
of holiness in the ancient world
and the biblical texts particularly
captivate my mind and take a
special place in my research. I am
married to a wonderful Russian
lady, Elena and we have 2 lovely
daughters. I am an ordained
minister in the Church of the
Nazarene.

Red Shield Appeal 2015
As the annual appeal approaches we can start
to prepare our hearts [and feet] for this great
opportunity of being in our neighbourhood,
welcoming members of our community onto
the team and supporting the work of The
Salvation Army.
This is a whole corps event. Everyone is
included in some way so expect your name
to be on a list or in a team. Only see me if
you are unable to participate. All
neighbours, friends, workmates and family
are welcome to join in. Next week there will
be details on the back notice board of
where you have been assigned.
I would like to challenge everyone in the
corps to set a personal goal to turn this
territorial event into an corps outreach and
discipleship opportunity.
My suggestion: as you participate have
10 conversations about the wider
Salvation Army [research on line for latest
news], 5 conversations about the
Parramatta Corps [take a corps leaflet], 1
conversation about your own faith.
I am looking forward to working on the
Appeal with you this year at Parramatta.

NEWS
If you would like us to pray for you or your
loved ones, contact either Marty Bust or Dot
Griffin for it to be included in the newsletter
or referred on to the Prayer Network.
We are looking to connect everyone in the
corps into a discipleship group of some kind.
If you would like to join a bible study group
or start up one please see Sharon SB. If you
are unable to join a small group at the
moment but are interested in some alternative
ways of studying God’s word with others and
sharing your faith journey and its growth
there are other options available.
