Announcements
Firstly, for November, we are excited to be partnering with the Hamilton Christian Combined Foodbank to help people with food parcels before Christmas. If you are able, please collect a bag, after the gathering today and fill it with some items to bring back. All the details are on the bag, and these are due back at the end of November.
As we look to 2027, we are wanting to gather interest for a potential Gateway Alpha course starting early March. Alpha is a space for those who are interested in, or new to, Christian faith. We watch a series of short films, and share food and safe, honest discussion with each other each week, over a period of 7 weeks. We know this is still a few months away, but to help with our team planning, if you or someone you know might be interested in doing Alpha in term one of next year. for more information or to register click here.
Following the election next weekend, our Sunday evening gathering on the 8th of November will be a prayer night as we join together to pray for our country. We’d love for you to join us. This will be held in our chapel from 5.30pm - 6.15pm.
Finally, some exciting news, Don in conjunction with Chris Scobie has written a new book – Secrets Lies and Learning to Trust. Our hope is that the proceeds from this book will help the Scobies in their work to construct a beautiful church building in Slovenia. So buy yourself a copy and perhaps buy one for someone else, these are $30 each and available from our info desk today.
