A summary of what’s happening this weekend

Coming up Good Friday and Easter Weekend 2018

We’d love you to join us at church this Easter.

Our Good Friday service is at the special time of 9.30am, where we’ll be coming together to reflect on Jesus’ death on the cross as Graham Errington speaks on the topic of ‘Jesus is… sacrificed’ from Luke chapter 23 verses 32 to 56.

We’ll be meeting at our normal times of 5pm on Saturday and 8am on Easter Sunday. Simon Chaplin, the Assistant Minister from Oak Flats Anglican will be speaking on the topic ‘Jesus is… risen’ from John chapter 20 verses 1 to 18.

During our 5pm Saturday service  we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

  1. How would you respond to someone who said that Jesus is just a demigod?
  2. is it a sin to wish to kill a very bad person?
  3. Does the Bible tell us if it’s OK for a girl to ask out a guy, or should the girl just wait?

Our 8am Sunday service will be a Morning Prayer AAPB service.

If you don’t regularly attend church then you are especially welcome this weekend. We love it when people drop in to join us at church, and you’ll be made to feel very much at home.

If you can’t make it in person, you’re welcome to jump online to watch the service (with the same sermon and many other items) at www.oakflats.tv.
