Today: A special welcome to Colin M’bawa from Malawi. We have been supporting Colin and Shirley in their ministry over there for many years. Colin will be attending the PCA General Assembly of Australia this week.
GAA: Tomorrow the Rev. John Wilson will become the Moderator General of the PCA for the next three years. This means that he will have responsibilities that will take him all around the country and sometimes will have to be the public spokes person for our denomination. It is important that we regularly uphold him in prayer.
Marriage Enrichment Workshop: If you are interested in doing the PREPARE/ENRICH workshop please put your name on sign-up sheet in the foyer. Once you have signed up and your names are registered, you will receive a link to the online survey/assessment ($42). Reports will first be sent to Don then handed out at the workshop and explained. Workshop dates are Friday nights, Nov 18 & 25. If people want a more detailed explanation on any part of the survey, private follow up sessions will be available. Don, Andy and Josh are all trained to use this material. If you want to know a bit more go to prepare-enrich.com.au/for-couples.
