Church news for the week beginning 5th February 2023

OUR SERMON

This weekend we will be hearing from God’s word as Jodie McNeill preaches to us from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 on ‘Justice and Peace’.

INTRODUCING SPARK

Our all-new midweek Kids’ ministry kicked off on Friday 3rd February from 4:30-6pm. 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.

NOURISH RETURNS

Our Nourish ministry returns this coming Thursday 9th February at 9:30am in the hall... a great time for women to meet, encourage and pray other women over an enjoyable morning tea. Bring along some craft if you’ve got some… or just chat!

NSW ELECTION CANDIDATE’S FORUM

Our church is hosting a Candidate’s Forum for the seat of Kiama. Join us to hear from the major candidates for the 2023 NSW Election speaking on issues important to the Christian community, and answering your questions. Tuesday 21st February at 7pm with livestream. All are welcome.

LOVELLS INFORMATION NIGHT

Hear from our link missionaries Adrian and Anita (and Matias and Maya) Lovell on Thursday 16th February 7:30pm at Oak Flats Anglican. A great opportunity to hear about our partnership and to pray and support them in their ministry.

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.

FEBRUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH

‘The Gospel Comes with a House Key’ by Rosaria Butterfield.

Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the gospel to our lost friends and neighbours.

Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own, but as God’s tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives—helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

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. To give by direct transfer then these are the NEW details. Account name: Jamberoo Anglican Church. Account number: 356831. BSB: 032605.
