Church News for the week beginning 11th January
OUR BIBLE TALK
This weekend, we have special guest Moussa Ghazal speaking to us and asking the question “Where is God in the bushfires?” This is a not-to-be-missed event that will help us understand more about the place of suffering in God’s world, and how it is that we can understand tragedy in the light of a good and sovereign God.
Next weekend, we have another special guest, Wycliffe (Wicky) Onyango, coming to speak and give an update on KBECET.
MISSION OF THE MONTH
Our mission of the month is KBECET (Kiama Board for Employment of Christian Education Teachers). You can support the KBECET ministry by donating and buying from the mission table in the hall.
