7th August 2016
Lord’s Supper: Please note we use Gluten Free biscuits so that everyone may participate in the Lord’s Supper.
Police Chaplaincy: This week Don will be at a state conference for police chaplains for most of Monday and Wednesday.
Men’s Event: Journeys of Faith & Life has been moved forward one week and will now be August 20 , 7:30pm in the hall. Three men will give their testimonies of coming to faith and living out faith in the place God has put them. Please feel free to invite friends.
Missions Giving: The way EPC missions giving is collected is by the giving envelopes or through direct giving. The envelopes have two pockets: one for general offering and one specifically for missions. If you use direct giving please indicate ‘ missions’ as your reference. Our missions giving is divided into 10ths. Most missionaries get one 10th but a couple of them get two 10ths. Whatever comes in is divided up this way.
Personal Bible Reading: Out of our Personal Bible Reading workshop we want to recommend two devotional phone apps: the John Piper Daily Devotional and the one from Creek Road Presbyterian Church in Qld. Just look up Creek Road in your app store. As there is nothing like reading the Bible for yourself we have placed some study tools on our own web page under What’s On, Deeper Discipleship Training . Look for the Focus and Apply Personal Bible Study. There are 4 other easy study methods under the One-to-One link.
DDT: Due to various circumstances we have decided not to run Christ Centred Marriage as originally planned. We are now working on the idea of a marriage enrichment course. We are considering a particular program at the moment and the feasibility of condensing it down to something like two Friday evenings. Please stay tuned.
New Roster: It’s time once again to be considering how and when you will be available to help out during the period August to October. Please have your preferences to Melody by tomorrow, August 8 . If you’ve not been on the roster before, please speak to Melody about what is involved.
EPC Directory: If you wish to have your photo in the new directory, please see Melody after the service today. If you have not responded to the original email to give permission for your details to be included, please do so THIS WEEK. The directory is almost ready to be printed.
