JOIN US FOR CHURCH VIA ZOOM – HERE’S HOW
For our church members we’d love you to join us by using Zoom so you can see each other and participate in church, if you’re willing. There are three ways to do it.
The best option is to use the Zoom app. To join tonight’s service on Saturday night then jump on at 4.30pm by clicking on https://zoom.us/j/469203306 or to join the Sunday morning service then connect at around 8.30am by clicking here https://zoom.us/j/161131075
The next-best option is to call on your mobile. Just dial in and listen using your phone by clicking a link and your mobile will call Zoom so you can speak and listen during the service. For the Saturday night service, click +61280156011,,469203306# or for the Sunday morning service, click +61280156011,,161131075#
The third-best option is to call us on a normal landline phone and listen into church. Join church simply by calling us on a normal, landline phone by dialling 02 8015 6011. Then, after you’ve dialled that phone number, when they ask for a Meeting ID, then if you’re joining the Saturday Night service then enter the meeting ID 469203306 followed by the # key. If you want to join the Sunday Morning service then after you’ve dialled the phone number 02 8015 6011 enter the meeting ID 161 131 075 followed by the # key.
If you’ve got friends who are not yet members of our church, then get them to go to www.facebook.com/jamberooanglican and watch the Facebook Live video stream.
OUR BIBLE TALK
We continue our Jesus Is___ series as Jodie speaks to us on the topic ‘Jesus is True‘ from John 14:1-10. This is a great message to help us remember the reliability and the security found in Christ alone. Ideal for believers and for those who are considering the awesome claims of Christ.
MISSION OF THE MONTH
Our mission of the month is BCA (Bush Church Aid). To support this great ministry visit www.bushchurchaid.com.au or call 02 9262 5017 to talk to a member of their team.
SMALL GROUPS
Our midweek small groups are still running, even though they’re video conferences! Our forced home assignments mean it’s a perfect time to join one! We’ll send you the links to Zoom meetings on Sunday afternoon, but here are the meetings for you to join:
- Graham and Lesley Errington – 11am Monday
- Mandy McNeill (women’s group) – 9am Tuesday
- Trevor and Robyn Lucas – 7pm Wednesday
- Jodie and Mandy McNeill – 7pm Thursday
YOUTH GROUP
Youth group is still on, too, at 7.30pm Saturday night. But it’s also online! To find out how to join, please call our Youth and Children’s Minister, Rayne Orange on 0490 342 595, and she will let you know what needs to happen to get you connected to our Zoom youth group, including the necessary ‘safe ministry’ permissions from parents/carers.
GIVING UPDATE
We give thanks to God that we’ve exceeded our budget for giving for March! We are sincerely thankful to God for all who have switched from cash to direct giving, and for how this has given us some security in our church ministry as we look to reach out, together, to this hurting world. Praise God.
Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was $6272.00, leaving a gap of $28.00. 
Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $98,802. Compared to that total we received $109,200, leaving a gap of $-10,398.
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 details. Account name: Church of England Jamberoo. Account number: 10081274. BSB: 062562.
