Bulletin Announcements – 14 October 2012

NEXT SUNDAY – special colletion: After surgical treatment for his neck injury, Rev. Ariel Kurilowicz is now in the process of rehabilitation.  However this is usually a slow process that takes many months. As Pastor Ariel has used up his leave entitlement and needs to be on no-pay leave from the month of October, the diaconate has decided to hold an appeal for Pastor Ariel and his family on the Sunday of 21 October. After the general offering is taken, an extra collection will be taken from all congregations as a love gift from brothers and sisters to Pastor Ariel and his family. Please consider prayerfully and give generously in cash or cheque payable to Ariel Kurilowicz.

Children Sunday school starts today. Welcome to term 4! We pray that we may grow together as we learn about God.
