Thank you
We would like to thank; Lyn Hughes, Julie Sutherland and Liz Maidla who did a
great job in our church office while Shelley was on leave. We also thank Mary &
Claire who raised $2,800 for our church through the markets over the Christmas
holidays, what a wonderful effort on our behalf.
Prophecy workshops
Have you been given the gift of prophecy? Are you interested in prophecy? If you
are then you might wish to join workshops on prophecy on Wednesday evenings
@ 7pm in the church starting on 18/2/15. Please place names on the sheet in the
office.
Praying for Renewal and Revival
Some of us will be gathering on Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 7am
to 8am to pray for renewal and revival within our church, the combined church in
Batemans Bay, the diocese of Canberra and Goulburn and our nation starting on
16/2/15. If you long to see renewal and revival break out in Batemans Bay, our
diocese and our nation please join us.
You’re not alone
We live in a world where we often feel alone, yet in the the commissioning of his
disciples (Matt 28:16-20) Jesus reminds us that he is “with [us] always, to the end
of the age.” We can take comfort from this because wherever we go and whatever we are doing for Jesus he goes with us. In this week’s Old Testament passage
we are reminded that the “battle is not [ours] but God’s” and to “not fear or be
dismayed [for] the Lord will be with [us]” ( 2 Chron 20:15&17). As disciples of
Jesus I like the idea that Jesus is with us until the job is done and that it is God who
changes people’s hearts, wins the battle, and makes people want to follow Jesus.
ELECTING A NEW WARDEN.
The two Nominees for the position of Warden are: Garry Gray and Julie Sutherland.
