INTRODUCING SPARK

Our all-new midweek Kids’ ministry kicks off Friday 3rd February from 4:30-6pm and then each week in the hall during term time. It’s for Year 3 to 6 kids, and it’s a space where older primary children can explore the Bible, and start or grow a relationship with Jesus.

MORNING PRAYER

Join us at 7 am every day (except Sunday) at zoom.jamberooanglican.com as we gather to read the Bible, pray, and encourage each other as the new day dawns.

DECEMBER & JANUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH

‘Enjoying God’ By Tim Chester.

We believe in God, we serve God, we trust God, but would we say that we enjoy God on a day to day basis?

What exactly does a personal relationship with God look like, and how is it even possible?

Tim Chester shows us how we can enjoy God in every moment of every day, whether we are experiencing good times or hard times; whether we are changing diapers, or stuck on a train. He explores how the Father, the Son and the Spirit relate to us in our day-to-day lives, and how to respond.

We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall. However, if you wish to order your own copy online or read via Kindle, you can do that here.

GIVING UPDATE

Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. Last month, our average weekly giving was $5509.00, leaving a gap of $791.00. Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.

Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend.
