Working Bee
 
                   

We have a Working Bee tomorrow, 30th May at 8 am at the Manse. 
Earlier this week, all the furniture and content were moved to the new Church office.  We're asking for help in cleaning the Manse and Manse garden. Bring your big muscles, garden tools (forks, spades, rakes & pruning shears), ladders and cleaning materials (Cloths, mops and window cleaning equipment).  If you have any spare tip vouchers, bring them along too.

This is a good opportunity to catch up with our fellow members and take this bull by the horns.  Hope to see you there!
Missions & Outreach

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Our Church supports a number of Missions and Outreach initiatives. Here is a short list of some of the work what we have supported during the past financial year:
Please look at this video https://youtu.be/DlwiAeO8Kjg,  where Keith Benn talks about our responsibility to be witnesses.  I encourage you to consider getting involved.

Please contact Francois on 0419 623 397 if God lays it on your heart to get involved.

Your brother in faith
Francois van der Walt

Behind the Scenes - Sunday Online Services
 
Since the Covid-19 lockdown, we’ve been able to see and hear our Family Service via electronic means, thanks to a team of creative and hardworking people. We are grateful for everybody’s willingness to serve in this manner. If you would like to see what things are like behind the camera, please follow these links:

Church Center App

We are in the process of implementing some exciting new changes to how we manage data in our church. One pretty cool result of this is that each of us now have access to an app for church-related information. 

At the moment, you are able to do 4 things, but we are working on more great implementations which will hopefully appear in the coming months.

  1. See general information (service times, email, website link, etc).

  2. Update your own church data without contacting the office (email, address, medical notes, etc).

  3. See which elder district you are in, as well as the contact details for your elder (members only)

  4. Do a bunch of stuff which will make being a part of a fellowship group much easier. (Fellowship group calendar, messaging, and shared resources)

We encourage you to get the app and experiment around. It should be pretty straightforward, but if you run into any issues, feel free to ring Jesse on 0405673123 and I’ll be happy to try to help.

The name of the app is “Church Center”

Here is a link for android users:

Here is a link for apple users:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/church-center-app/id1357742931

And here is a link to a (slightly more limited) version of the app as a website which should be useful if you are not a smartphone-type of person.

CRCA
 
Church Planting Taskforce

Pentecost Sunday is coming up (May 31st) and as part of the CRCA’s recommended offering schedule the Church Planting Taskforce has asked for this particular Sunday to be a day of prayer and financial support from our congregations. We wanted to remind you of this but also wanted to share with you some encouragement from two church plants that have been beneficiaries of your generosity. We are thankful for what God is doing in and through these church plants and are encouraged by their proclamation of the gospel into under-reached communities.
