MAY BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Everlasting God’ by Broughton D. Knox.
The Everlasting God is one of those mind-shifting, life-changing books that has become a classic that rightly belongs in the personal library of every Christian.
Dr Knox’s very helpful explanation of predestination and ‘free will’ is worth the price of the book alone, but he also encourages and challenges us from the Scriptures by showing that God is living and true, is infinite in power, wisdom and goodness, is three-in-one, reveals himself to us in the Lord Jesus Christ, and is rich in mercy and grace.
We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall.
GIVING UPDATE
Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. Last month, our average weekly giving was $5402.00, leaving a gap of $898.00. Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $81,900. Compared to that total we received $71,624, leaving a gap of $10,276.
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.
