Hi church family. I hope you have all enjoyed some special times together with friends and family over the Christmas break. I’m looking forward to seeing you all at church again as we get underway for 2018.

Please keep the Warburton team in your prayers as they reach out with love, friendship and Bible programs to some of our outback communities. 

I’m excited to report that much progress has been made with the ‘Genesis Music Project.’ There is so much more to do still and I value your prayers and support as the date draws nearer. We are only a month and a half away before the first life event. Tickers are available online or if you prefer you can buy them at church from this Sunday onwards. You can read more about it further on in the Newsletter.

A Christian movie which is receiving a lot of mainstream attention at the moment is the upcoming ‘Alien Intrusion – Unmasking a deception.’ It’s being released by Creation Ministries and speaks to a topic many of us wonder about. If this is an area you would like to look into more from a strong Christian perspective, then follow this link. https://conservativetribune.com/conservative-filmmaker-ufos-truth/

May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 115:15

Hi church family

This Sunday is special indeed. We’ll celebrate Lord’s Supper – remembering what Jesus did for us on the cross. His act of sacrifice changed our eternal destination from one of hopelessness to a living hope. Come and celebrate it with us.

On Sunday will also celebrate Reformation Day, looking ahead at the 31st October as the 500th year since the Reformation, an event which changed the landscape of the church and Christianity in a profound way. Do remember that you can attend a special ‘combined service’ for all our Reformed churches on Sunday 4.30pm at Gosnells Reformed Church. (See the add further on in the e- Newsletter)

As we approach Reformation Day – it’s worthwhile mentioning that the world chooses to celebrate Halloween on the same day. And herein lies the contrast. The world celebrates ‘witches, ghosts & death’ while we as believers celebrate The Reformation. These two celebration are in stark contrast to each other. Needless to say we should all examine ourselves as to where we stand in this matter. As your pastor and spiritual leader I want to encourage all of you to not participate in the dark custom of Halloween, but rather focus on the Lord and His goodness. Let us remember, talk about and celebrate the Reformation.

‘Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.’ Philippians 4:8

May God’s life and light flood your hearts and homes
