Sunday

Well I really enjoyed that. Last Sunday. The tremendous morning service, great fellowship over a shared lunch & then a fantastic night service.
Thanks to all of you who shared in the day especially those who helped with the lunch both serving & cleaning up.

I am interested to get some feedback from Sundays messages regarding "The Proverbs 31 wife & the Church". I know there was a lot of meat in there & a stack of scripture & things to process. I will do follow up sermons, picking out a verse or two & relate them back to the church from time to time. This will hopefully help.

I am committed to helping all of us who call Abundant Life Church home to shaping it into all God is calling it to be.

Our prayer meeting this morning was great. Quite cold at 7am but not to bad in His Place. It is good to pray for the church & God's will for Blayney. I am aware that we can't all get to prayer meetings but please try to pray for people when you are prompted, where ever you are.

Have the best week. Remember home groups & youth.

See you there or Sunday.

Love,

Pastor G

Greetings from the Pastor

Hey guys,

Just though I would post this to thank you all for the way that you lift the name of Jesus high. It is so good to see ours, yours & His church in action each week.

People still are coming out to home groups despite the cold & wintry conditions. We had 12 people at our house on Thursday night. It looks like I'll have to go on ebay to look for more chairs. Our study on "Flowing in the Holy Spirit" is very interesting & challenging while at the same time comforting. It is always good to re-learn that God is the one in control not us. It can really take the pressure off. From what I hear the group meeting at Colin's is also going great. This is the first time we have set it so that we are studying different stuff. Find out what's going on in either group & get along.

I really want to encourage you, if your not going to a home group, give it some thought. There is something special about regularly being in a small group. If you find it difficult to get out but would like to maybe host a home group, come & talk to me & we will see what we can do.

Youth at the Shed is a real joy to me. While I don't get there often enough I certainly am aware of how much the kids are enjoying what Matt & Rach are doing with them at The Shed. The tales from the 'Point & Shoot' night (glad they changed the name from 'Drive by Shooting') went off so well. I even understand that Gabby got the chance to meet Sargent Barry Walker on the drive around Blayney. She got a little nervous I believe when he wanted a chat.

Remember night church starts this Sunday. I am looking forward to what God is going to do in these night services. I am preaching both morning & night & will be doing at least a 2 part sermon. Looking at my notes I could well be split over 3 or 4 services.

Thanks again guys for being apart of what God is doing here in Blayney. Remember that His vision for us is way bigger that you can imagine. We just need to be open & obedient to His prompting. I have no doubt that we will, together, impact this region for Him.

Be assured Jenny & I are praying for Gods best in your lives.

Love,

Pastor G

Bring and share lunch

This Sunday, the 17th August, we are having a "Bring and Share Lunch" after our morning service. Its in honour of Don Humphris who is turning 50 on that very day. Don't tell him though, its a surprise. (Hope he doesn't read this... lol)

So come to church, enjoy great worship, preaching, and fellowship. And don't forget to bring something really yummy to share for lunch and lets bless Don for his birthday.

See you there.
