News and Updates =======================================
Charles Matticks and his "SATURDAY WITNESS BAND" are playing contemporary Christian music at Trinity, at 6.30pm. every second Sunday of the month!! They will be here next Sunday, 12th September!
This is
a ‘Place of Safety’ for abandoned children in Birchleigh North. We have been
involved with the home virtually from its inception. Because of the very low
subsidy that is received per child per day, it is essential that additional
funding is found. A number of our home groups have elected to support it –
mostly ‘cash in kind’ and voluntary help like transport etc – but the real
need is for cash to help meet overheads like salaries, utilities etc. If you
would like to know more and where you could help please call the office.
This is
a new project that we are a part of. The programme is about packing food parcels
for the poorest of the poor. Each pack contains six meals (each meal has a
nutritional value enough to carry a
person through a normal working day). Each meal costs R2.00 or R12.00 per pack.
Recently seven of our youth were trained as ‘line leaders’ for an upcoming
pack where the target was 80,000 meals!!! For more info again please contact the church office. 70 000 meals were packed for STOP HUNGER NOW IN GERMISTON on the 19th June. Thanks to all who assisted! Phone Don on 083 415 0263 to register as a volunteer for future packing events; or Colin on 083 417 6877 to sponsor meals.
One of
the exciting additions to the range of the teaching materials we use is the
‘Disciple Short Courses’. We have been using the Disciple series for some
years now but have run into the problem of time and the length of these courses
(32 weeks), so now the intro of short courses (10 – 20 weeks) ‘Genesis’
has been completed.
TUESDAY NIGHTS AT 7.30PM AT TRINITY!
20TH JULY "What is God Provides?" BEGINS.... To share this message and journey with you would be our greatest blessing yet. We believe that God - in our challenging world - is wanting each of us to return to His timelsss promises and apply it in our lives today. Blessings and love, Bevan and Vanessa This group is aimed primarily for young adults 18 - 30 years.
