Church news for the week beginning 29th July 2017

New Bible talk series continues

This weekend we continue our new series looking at 2 Samuel called ‘Kingdom Coming’ as Jodie is preaches from chapter 2 verses 1 to 32  with the title, “The failure of politics”.

Rayne is coming!

We are thrilled to announce that our Parish Council approved the appointment of Rayne Orange to join our ministry team as our Youth and Children’s Minister, from October this year. She will work two days’ per week as she continues her degree in theology. Pray for her and her new husband Tim as they get ready to return to Australia from Canada in mid-September. Pray that they find suitable accommodation, ideally in Jamberoo.
