GIVING UPDATE

During May we fell a bit short in our giving, but we understand that the challenges of not gathering in our building have made it hard for some of you to get your financial gifts to us for our ministry here in our village, valley and beyond. This weekend we’ll have a way for you to bring financial gifts along to our church building during our services, if you’ve not been able to organise direct giving.

Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was $5882.00, leaving a gap of $418.00. Olimometer 2.52 Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $245,700. Compared to that total we received $221,466, leaving a gap of $24,234.Olimometer 2.52

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.

Will you pray with us?

/in /by

Would you consider joining us for prayer one morning per week for just half an hour?

We are praying that the Lord will pour out his Holy Spirit upon our village, valley, and the whole of the Illawarra and beyond… and it is good to bow our knees, together, to do this.

Thanks to Zoom, we can do this easily by connecting at zoom.jamberooanglican.com any morning (except Sunday) at 7am.

We read some chapters from the Bible and we pray… and it’s over in under half an hour.

You don’t need to turn on your Zoom camera, so you can join us in your pyjamas or even when you’re commuting!

For some of us it is early, but it is something that is so important that it’s worth getting out of bed for.

You don’t need to read anything, nor do you need to say anything: you can just simply listen and pray along with those who are speaking.

Yes, we meet and pray in our church services, in our small groups, and on our own… but this is something that is a bold statement of our devotion to God as a church, pleading with him to bring great revival to our land.

Imagine if Jamberoo had a reputation for being a Christian village!

Imagine if our church was packed to the rafters with people eager to hear God’s word and love and serve his world!

Let’s do more than imagine… let’s pray!

The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 4, “Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.”

Don’t Give Up Meeting Together

/in /by

Over the past three months of Covid-19 restrictions, one verse from the Bible has continued to come to mind: “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:25).

God’s word clearly tells us that followers of Jesus need to make sure we keep meeting together so that we can keep encouraging one another whilst we wait the return of Jesus, but until last weekend, we’ve been told to keep the building closed to the public.

Yet, even though these restrictions have been hard for us, we have followed them because we gladly submit to our ruling authorities, knowing that they are sent for our good (Romans 13:1,4).

Plus, using the technology of live-streaming, we’ve been able to keep hearing God’s word together, and sharing in video conferences to keep encouraging one another after the online gathering.

As people of the new covenant we know that we meet Christ in his word by his Spirit, and that the temple is now his body, of which we are members by faith (1 Peter 2:5).

So, that’s why we’ve still been able to keep meeting together through video screens, even though we’ve been physically separate.

But now we’re allowed to come together again, how sweet is it to be in the same room together at the same time!

We look forward to the final aspects of the Covid-19 restrictions being eventually lifted for church, but even as we cannot properly sing when gathered, we can come together and set our minds on things above as we hear psalms, hymns and spiritual songs sung to us, for our reflection and encouragement (Colossians 3:16).

And though we long to be able to greet one another with a holy kiss (Romans 16:16), or at least a handshake, we know that we are fully connected through our union with Christ, knowing that we can’t get closer to each other than being part of the very same body! Amen!
