YF Testimony and Bible Study this Friday (11th)

Last Friday was a blast! Having both groups together for those games was awesome, special thanks to Rae-Anne and Brad for brainstorming some creative games! It was really awesome to see our whole English congregation interacting inter-generationally and praying together on Sunday, I pray its the start of something special with deeper relationships as a body of Christ. This has been in the idea factory for awhile and its cool to see it starting up, lets keep an open and willing spirit to pray together. I'm in the 51st week of this devotional and it focuses on celebration. Prayer this week should focus on the joy of the present, too much time is spent in anticipation of vacations, weekends etc. We should start seeing the joy in breath, water, food and people now! "Father it is so easy for me to live automatically, so that nothing touches me or moves me. Give me the fullness of living in the now. In the name of your Son, who loved children and flowers and people, I pray. Amen." Ps 66; 2 Chron 20:20-30; Gen 12:1-9; Mt 21:1-11; 1 Chron 16:1-36; Ps 98; Gen 35:1-15; Rev 22:1-17.

This Friday (11th), we have the special opportunity to hear our brother Wardrer's testimony of the Lord's work in his life as well as looking into Philippians 2:1-11 facilitated by Marcus and Aaron. May the Lord continue to increase our faith as we witness what He is doing in the lives of our peers and teaches us through them. Each of you has a story to tell, please consider sharing your testimony or how God has worked in your life at an upcoming fellowship. Please bring your Bibles and a desire to participate and be changed. Next week will be our guys/girls night so lets plan ahead!

This Sunday (13th) we will be continuing our journey through the wisdom in Proverbs. We'll be looking through chapters 8 and 9 to actively seek God's wisdom.

Baptisms! There is an opportunity for baptism coming up this Christmas. Baptism is an act of obedience which symbolizes being baptized into His death and buried in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:3-5).

Cook off this Saturday, I know a couple of you have confirmed your interest in the cook-off this Saturday, please reply today if you are interested because there were some details that I missed on the morning that I was speaking at OCAC. We need to have a set team, cooking supplies and a presentation.

Let us know how we can be praying for you or if you'd like to meet up!
