Luke 21.5-19
Some of his disciples were
remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts
dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come
when not one stone will
be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”
Advent Prayer Course
starting on Tuesday the 26th Nov, 3rd, 10th
Dec and Wednesday 18th Dec
at 7:00 pm
The
course was set up by Pete Greig who was the founder of the 24/7 prayer
movement. There are 8 sessions and during the four evenings we will do two each
time. The sessions include 1.Why pray, 2.Adoration, 3.Petition, 4.Intercession,
5.Unanswered prayer, 6.Contemplation, 7.Listening and 8.Spiritual Warfare.
These are sessions to help us go deeper into our understanding of prayer and
how it can give us the tools to pray effectively. The last session will be held
on a Wednesday as to avoid clashing with Carlton Curlieu’s Carol Service. We
hope you can join us as we seek to deeper in our understanding. If you would
like more details please contact Sarah (her details are on the front of the
news sheet).
In order to thank the
Lord for this weekend and prepare for the course we are going to have a prayer
and praise evening on the 20th Nov at 7:30, anyone is welcome
even if you are not able to do the course.
ALPHA
Course starting in January.
We will be running an Alpha course. This is a 10-week
course each evening starts with fellowship around a hot meal and then goes into
a talk about who God is and what the Christian faith is all about. It takes
time to delve into the big questions people ask and helps us to discover new
understanding. After the talk we will break up into smaller groups with a group
leader and discuss the questions the talk has raised in a smaller setting.
If you are interested in either coming or helping in
this course please talk to Kim or Sarah about how to come or how to be
involved.
