31st AUGUST 2020 - From Pastor Adam Low

Dear Real Life Family,
 
How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
(Psalm 133:1)

 
As the photos above show you, despite the challenges of living in a global pandemic, we can still find creative ways to experience vibrant community. Our Missional Community gatherings are providing that opportunity for those who feel comfortable to participate in one. We'd love to connect you with one whether you are new to Real Life or have been part of the community for many years.

This week formally ushers in a new season. We transition into Spring! This is traditionally a season associated with new life, fresh beginnings, multiplication and fruitfulness. I am prayerful that this will be a spiritual season of Spring for Real Life Christian Church. We have a range of prayer meeting opportunities happening at various times in the week - some in person and some digital - so why not invest some time in prayerful conversation with the Lord of all seasons and with others who love him? Together we can seek out His fruitful leading and provision for us individually and corporately. Check out the details for those meetings listed further below.

In addition, this week we also welcome back Ps Matt Hornby (with Bianca, Zach and Zeph) after a few weeks off to bond as a growing family. If you are wanting to start, recommence or join a life group, then Ps Matt would love to hear from you.

The Church Leadership is closely monitoring the current COVID-19 situation in our region and are adhering to Government advice and restrictions as they happen. We will communicate promptly with you should there be a need to adjust any of our current programs. As a reminder, we are not permitted to have more than 10 people in a home or meeting together in a public space.

There is some useful information below from across the life of the church that I trust you will enjoy reading and /or watching...
 
Each week a different member of the church staff team will be providing us with a Monday Moment video that may cover a range of thoughts, reflections, encouragements and insights on daily life and the ministry across the church.

This week, Angela Trethewey introduces some VIPs. We trust these Monday Moments are a blessing to you!

As part of our Online Worship Service this weekend, we will have opportunity to share in the Communion meal together. While there is not pressure or obligation to participate in the meal, anyone who would like to share in this opportunity is encouraged to be prepared before the streamed services with bread / crackers and juice.

The McIntosh's have sent us an update for August:

Dear Family and Friends,

We believe and know from experience at Real Life that prayer is POWERFUL. As part of our commitment to pray, there are multiple opportunities that you can jump in on:
The long-standing Church-wide Prayer Meeting is held on the first & third Mondays of the month at 7:00pm via ZOOM. All are welcome. The next one is August 17th. The link to join the meeting is here.
Ps Clare is hosting via ZOOM every Friday 6:30am to 7:00am with a focus on praying for the Next Generation ministries. Anyone of any age and stage is welcome to participate. The link to join the Zoom meeting is here.
Angela is hosting an in-person prayer time after the office closes on Wednesdays in the Calvin/Wesley rooms (downstairs) from 12:00pm-1:00pm. For COVID safety (or if the meeting is cancelled), please let her know if you plan to come by email or phone 3387 5777.
If you cannot make any of these 3 prayer times but would seriously love to dedicate time in seeking God in prayer, then why not start your own prayer time? Please contact the office or any of the ministry team, we would love to help you get started!
I pray this week is an encouraging one for you. Let us continue to observe safe practices with regard to COVID-19 to ensure our health, to care for one another and to be a strong witness of compassion and integrity to our community. Let us continue to pray for those impacted by COVID-19 and current community transmissions to diminish and be arrested.

Grace, peace and blessings,
