This weekend is Easter and things will be a little different to normal.

This Friday at 9am, please join us in the church for a special, combined Good Friday service, as Jodie preaches to us from Matthew 27 on ‘Good Friday’.

This will be followed by hot cross buns over morning tea, together.

On Saturday night we will not be meeting at all for church… however…

On Sunday morning at 9am we will be gathering together for a free BBQ breakfast on the lawn, with delicious, freshly-cooked egg and bacon rolls.

Then church will begin at 10am out on the lawn (or in the church if the weather is bad) where we’ll have a joyful gathering as Jodie preaches from Matthew 28 on the topic, ‘Alive Day!’.

This special Easter Day service will then include the special baptism of seven of our church members, as they declare their trust in Jesus as Jodie conducts an open-air baptism in our portable pool.

This special event is for you, and for any of your friends or family members… or really anyone in our village, valley and region!

We’re going to have a break from questions this week, but we look forward to answering them in the coming weeks.

Please pray that from this weekend, many people in our village, valley and region would know how to follow Jesus and why it matters!

PS – we will not be meeting on Saturday night… so come on Sunday instead!

PPS – we’re planning to livestream both services, so if you can’t make it in person, then you can still join us online.

This weekend we are going to be hearing from God’s word as Jodie McNeill preaches to us from Matthew Chapter 25 on ‘Living in the Last Days’.

After our 5pm Saturday service we’ll be having dinner, and after our 9am Sunday service we’ll be enjoying brunch together.

We’d love you to join us in-person if you’re able, or watch our livestream at watch.jamberooanglican.com.

1 If all people are descended from Adam, then who was Cain scared of?
2 Is abortion a sin?
3 Should we follow the distinction in labour we see between men and women in Matthew 24?
4 Given that Jesus said to love our enemies, why do Psalms often pray that God would kill them?
5 Since Jesus is God, why doesn’t he know everything that the Father knows?
6 Is it bad to pick and choose Bible translations as it suits you?

These are the questions that Jodie plans to answer this weekend at church:

1 Would our vision statement be better if the ‘how’ and ‘why’ were reversed?
2 Would it be good for us to experience more persecution, since it grows the church?

4 What does it mean to be like Sarah and not “give way to fear” (1 Peter 3:6)
5 Why would Jesus baptise with fire?
6 Did Jesus know exactly what was going to happen before it happened?
7 Why would Jesus want demons not to tell people who he really was and his name?
8 Is it OK for younger children to remain in church to hear the sermon each week?
