Hi Church
Family Service did it again. Delivering an amazing Sunday morning that was filled with joy, laughter, wisdom, understanding, Spiritual truth and heart-felt impact. All from across the generations of our church.
The Youth taught us a new song with some old words, but it was up-tempo and determined and it grabbed our attention. “I have decided to follow Jesus No Turning back”. Our Youth musicians are making great progress under Debbie’s teaching and their tightness of presentation shows credit for the hours of hard work and practice they are putting in.
What can we say about the David and Goliath drama? All I know is that Oliver Acland and Doug Bollard were very well cast as the hero and villain respectively. Their performance was amazing, well done to everyone who participated and for Kaidee for creating a very inclusive script.
A wonderful message of the same theme was brought through Carin. The David and Goliath story of 1 Sam 17 was Carin’s story as she shared how fear was dictating what she would attempt to do in God. But like David, putting her full trust in God allowed her to live beyond what she could do in the natural.
So well done Carin! Your heart-felt message left a great impact upon many, as we are all called to live a deeper life of trust and faith in Jesus. A key to help is remembering that victories with God over smaller trials prepare you and teach you to have victory over greater trials and hardship. Great lessons Carin.
This week we had the amazing delivery of our Church chairs and after some scrambling to get people connected, many of the men of Grace came to move and then assembled 250 chairs. It was a great effort across three days. I cannot thank the guys enough for their willing hands and their faithful service. Enjoy your new chairs Grace Church. There are more chairs in the auditorium now so we have more spaces to invite a friend to encounter the living Lord.
Last chance to get on board and help with the Big Paddle Out outreach event this Saturday coming. It will be an awesome time with many dignitaries involved and many opportunities to serve and share the Gospel. Please use the link below to sign up and sign in to help. Starts from 7:30 am.
I know we have entered the busy season Church but let’s remember Jesus is our reason for being, so let’s always put Him first and worship Him passionately. There are many good things coming up in the calendar, so don’t miss out.
Love and Blessings
Ps Greg and Amanda
