SOS Wyong

This Sunday Phil will build on the ‘Be still’ theme.

He will be looking at peace. The peace that comes with knowing and believing in God through Jesus Christ.

He will look at the peace that new birth brings by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Its an interesting thing that where there is a lack of teaching on the Spirit there is a lack of humility before God. The peace that passes all understanding; that God could love us as he does, begins with Jesus imparting the spirit of God to us. To neglect a doctrine of the Holy Spirit is to become an independant christian who walks in their own strength and eventually according to their own will and not Gods.

The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is a powerful encouragement to the believer throughout the scriptures and will be a powerful encouragement to us this week at the gathering. May His peace be with you

Good News Week is something that we have been affliated with for nearly 10 years now.

This is another Fun Filled holiday programme for kids of all ages including: creche, pre-school, school and teenage kids.

They also run an Tent for the Adults who can sit and relax while the kids are being entertained. Good Fun and Good News about Jesus and how relevant he is for every one today.

This event is driven solely by the Lakes EV Church and so there is a cost involved to cover the rent and use of the grounds and facilities at the High School. This year it runs in the 2nd week of January from the 9th – 13th.

Goes from from 9 to 11:30ish for more details check out:  ?http://thelakes.net.au/category/i-am-new-here/good-news-week-i-am-new-here

This week we are back to the normal starting time of 3:45 for a 4pm start. Christmas morning was sweet and New Years Sunday should be too!

We are beginning the year by looking at the Phrase ‘Be Still’. In particular the biblical perspective of “Be still and know that I am God” from psalm 46.

We will look at the funny side of this type of comment from our own lives before moving into an exposition of the Psalm and its application for us today.

This will be an indepth look into this iconic phrase for the rest of the school holiday period.

After this we will be finishing off 1 Peter when school starts back.

God bless and have a blessed New Year

Due to popular demand we are holding a Christmas Sunday service

This Sunday, Christmas day at 9am we will consider the mish mash of beliefs that collide during this celebration, its origin and implications before we look at the heart of Christian celebration with the birthof Christ the Saviour

Should be about 45 min long, no meal but an important reminder of the reason for the season.

Should be enlightening and uplifting

To avoid the HEAT of summer, which hasn’t really hit yet, we meet at the different time of 3:45 for a 4 oclock start.

Please remember that tea will be AFTER the Sermon.

We will begin at 4pm for announcements and singing, occasionally, before we launch into the sermon.

All being good we will be be finished by 4:45 to begin heating up dinner and serving by 5pm.

Don’t forget to bring a plate and get there on Time

Monday night prayer is going strong.

Family prayer from 7-7:30 pm before the Adults kick on till 9pm.

We have been getting the children to have a Lords supper of thier own to bring them to a clear understanding of this awesome tradition.

The kids have been loving it because as you can imagine its also a good time of fellowship for them.

The Adults are pretty much the same

A good time to catch up and be ministered to as we seek God to unleash the Holy Spirit on Wyong with and without us

We have had some quick and some not so quick healings BUT it never hurts to ask!

Please contact Phil Patch for Adults and Don Lawson for the kids section

God bless, we’re praying for you

Dots is back and connecting.

Meeting at the familiar time of 9:30am Tuesday mornings Dots is back for term 4.

This term the ladies are following the sermon series 1 Peter.

Please contact either Claire or Yvette for more details.

This Sunday is the AGM and the members of SOS will be voting on the appointment of Deacons.

So as not to have two sermons in one day we thought we might kill two birds with one stone as it were.

So this Sunday we will be looking at the origin of the appointment of church deacons and why this is a time honoured christian position in the church today.

After desert we will then be holding the annual general meeting and talk about church membership and the requirements we have for that before voting on the Deacons appointment.

This Sunday we will be looking at both creationism and Intelligent Design Theory.

While these two are closely related in Christian circles they are in fact different.

As we wrap up Genesis 1-11 it will be good to visit these arguments and see thier strengths and weaknesses in light evolution and Neo-Darwinism.

I think you will be surprised and challenged
