SOS Wyong

From 7pm onwards Phil Patch will be ready to rock in the prayer room at the Old Salvos building on the top floor

So many awesome answers to prayer that have beeen really positive.

From 7-7:30- those with kids come to pray as a family and here we teach the kids to do the Lords supper with each other.

From 7:30 on its the parents time to pray with those who rock up at 7:30.

Phil and Claire Patch have really blessed people who have come for prayer on many and varied issues. In some cases I’ve seen 2 years of recovery done in 2 hours.

Its a great time to fellowship, refresh and ask for Gods healing

Wednesday night 7pm at the Manwarings Bobs is back with a bang.

This term we are organising the Sunday gathering together before encouraging one another in the word by the Spirit

We look to end the night at 9 but there is usually some seriously fun fellowship happening so its no guarantee.

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

BOBS this term is looking at Spiritual warfare.

It is alarming how caught up with the material world we can be to the point where we forget the Spiritual or supernatural.

To do so is detrimental to the Christian faith as we begin to walk by sight not by faith, by human logic rather than Godly wisdom, in the flesh rather than by the Spirit.

^{Eph 6: 12For our struggle is not againt flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.}

^{Each of the Guys this term will attempt to lead a discussion on an aspect of Spiritual warfare.}

^{As discussed the imitials below are matched to the topics for the next few weeks.}

^{JW is first with ‘The mind’ in particular; Rationalising/Human reason and Spiritual warfare.}

^{DC will follow with … its a surprise}

^{Sweeney was keen to look at Materialism the following week}

^{Clarky is next with … ???}

^{DS really does want it to be a surprise before the last week where we will have our break up.}

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
