With Gods help we can get through this.

Browns Bay dealing with the Flood.

Dear All,

We are using the Family Centre Hall for Sunday Worship. We are sorting out the the church buildings, furnishings and equipment that bore the brunt of the water damage. These are exciting times.

We are a community church comprised of people of all ages and various cultures. Our desire is to help people find and follow Jesus. This means we are discovering what it means to love God, love one another and love the community around about us.

You'll find more information about us from the links on the menu on the left.

From the Pastor’s pen:

MORNING & EVENING PRAYER - LECTIO 365
A reminder of the resources available on prayer: https://www.24-7prayer.com One of them is the app Lectio 365 app which helps us pray the Bible each day in a morning and evening devotion you can listen to and/or read. Try it. You’ll like it.

I AM
We’ve had a tour through John’s Gospel on the road to Easter this year. Jesus’ plan to reach the world with his Father’s love included encounters with Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman at the well, the blind man at the gate (twice rejected by his people), and today with his friends Mary and Martha. And Lazarus of course, who doesn’t actually say anything in this account! We will look at Jesus’ relationship with this family of friends today. Today’s key verse is John 11:25 which is the greatest of the I am sayings. I invite you through the week to read the other I AM passages and Jesus’ claims as you reflect on what they mean to you. There are seven of these sayings: I am the bread of life (6:35, 48, 51); I am the light of the world (8:12; 9:5); I am the door of the sheep (10:7, 9); I am the good shepherd (10:11, 14); I am the resurrection and the life (11:25); I am the way, the truth, and the life (14:6), and I am the true vine (15:1). And in a startling declaration for the Jewish faith community of the day (bearing in mind the name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14), we also read these words: “Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am” John 8:58 (ESV). It is this Jesus whom we will follow next week from Palm Sunday to Good Friday, and then on Easter Day when we will celebrate John 11:25.

Blessings,

Robin
