Bulletin Announcements – 16 September 2018

• Announcement from the Diaconate: The AGM reports and agenda are available for church members today (one per family please), plus the background information about all nominees and for deaconship. There is also information about the EGM motion. The meeting will be held at 12:30pm, Sunday Sep 30 at Strathfield. Proxy voting forms are available from deacons.

• Baptism Preparation Course: Jesus calls us to come to him as our Lord and Saviour, and as we do, an amazing spiritual thing happens – we are saved – justified – and we have peace with God! Jesus calls us to be baptised as the outward sign of this inward and spiritual reality that God has done in our hearts!
We invite you to our Baptism Course: Sunday October 21 and 28, 10:30am-12pm in preparation for Baptism at our combined Baptism service on Sunday November 25.

• Operation Christmas Child: sending shoe boxes with items and the gospel to children in need. More information on a church shoebox packing day is coming soon. But for now, please feel free to take a box and register it. You can either bring your items and $10 for delivery to our packing day, or hand in a completed box with the $10 delivery fee to Koorong by the 27th of Oct.
