Aug 13 (PM): Where are you God?

This Sunday we will be launching our annual Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal, where we invite people to take a shoebox, pick an age and gender for a child, and pack that shoebox with gifts, then return the box so it can be sent to bless children in need in the South Pacific region this Christmas.

At the 9am Ange Gratsounas will be speaking on The Fruit of the Spirit. The 11am service will be a Bilingual service with combined worship and separate sermons. Ange will speak on The Fruit of the Spirit to the English  speaking congregation and Lianbo Zhang will speak on the same topic to the Mandarin congregation.  Both morning services will be followed by a sausage sizzle. The Quarterly Church Meeting takes place at 1pm.

At the 6pm service Brett Hookham will be continuing our Living in Exile series with Exiles: living in society – slaves from 1 Peter 2:18-25. Don’t forget Coffee Before Church in the playground from 4.30pm.

This Sunday is our annual Be Love Sponsorship Sunday and Cameron Eccleston will be speaking to us at all 3 English services (9am, 11am and 6pm) on what Baptist World Aid are doing, especially focussing on Cambodia, and on the often asked question: Where are you, God? from Isaiah 58:1-10.
At the 2pm Mandarin service, Lianbo Zhang will be speaking on Baptism of the Spirit from Acts 2:1-13.
