A summary of what’s happening this weekend

Coming up this weekend 16th – 17th October 2021

This weekend we continue our Matthew series as Jodie speaks to us from chapter 11 on the topic ‘War and Peace’.

From this weekend, Saturday 16th October, we’ll be able to include some people face-to-face, whilst we continue to provide the best-possible livestream for everyone.

For the next two weeks the public health orders advise that we may only accommodate in-person participants who live in Regional NSW (which excludes Shellharbour and Greater Sydney), who are not required to ‘stay at home’ (due to contact with confirmed cases or venues), who are not showing any flu-like symptoms, and who are fully vaccinated (noting that unvaccinated children under 16 can attend if accompanied by a fully-vaccinated adult from their household.)

Everyone must wear a face mask (unless under 12 or exempted) and refrain from congregational singing, and we can seat 34 people (plus workers) in the church and 45 people in the hall to watch the livestream in-person.

Both services will offer a separate children’s program (with plenty of time outside) which will commence approximately half-an-hour into the service, but our youth Bible studies will remain online only until Friday 29th October.

We will be joining for dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday, and will initially eat outdoors on our church lawn to increase ventilation.

So, whether you’re online or in-person, we are so thankful that we continue to be together as we travel the roadmap to returning to ‘normal’ church.

To join us via our livestream head to watch.jamberooanglican.com.

Here are the questions Jodie plans to answer this weekend:

1 Was the Holy Spirit in Judas (Matthew 10:20), and if so, how did he fall away?
2 If a minister falls away, did he have the Holy Spirit in the first place?
3 Should Christians deliberately choose to vote for Christians in politics?
