Welcome to the Connection Corner
Connection Corner is our weekly update about what is happening in the life of the church. We encourage you to read this every week, as we are going to give more detail about events and news here; and keep notices during Sunday services to the minimum in order to leave space for God to move as and when He wants.
Short-term missions trip to Cambodia - 21 Feb - 6 March 2025
- The cut-off date for registrations to join the team next year is this Sunday, 27 October. Those who are interested in going on the missions trip to support FBC Missionaries Kevin and Gillian, please see Nigel after church on Sunday or contact him on 021 881 573 or 4chocchips@gmail.com
- On Saturday, 2 November, Nigel and the team invite everyone to join them for a fun night in the Church Hall at 6:30 - 9:00pm. Lots of fun for the whole family - little people included. See full details in the colourful advert further down. Please also bring a pair of sharp scissors to cut paper (a cutting board, guillotine and laminator will be an extra bonus.)
- If you would like to support the team but you are time poor, you can buy a button for $5 each from the Info Desk. These buttons will be used by Gillian, either in resources or something else she has planned for her work in the schools in Cambodia.
- On Sunday 3 November jams, pickles and marmalade will be for sale in the church foyer. Cash or eftpos.
- Another way to support financially is by providing sponsorship. Please talk to Nigel if this is something you can do.

Coming up this Sunday
The sermon topic for this week's service is "The Transformative Journey: Becoming Who God Created Us to Be." Romans 12:3-8
This week we continue our journey through Romans and will focus on being honest with ourselves about what we are good at and what we are not.
Last Sunday Rachel referred to a thesis containing research about Franklin Baptist Church and our journey with Baptist Maori Ministries. You can access it here.
If you search Franklin Baptist or Pukekohe, you can read the relevant parts or feel free to read the whole work.
Join us at 10AM in-person or online if you are not able or unwell. Please contact us if you need support info@fbc.nz
Remember to pray for the church every day for 2 minutes at 2 pm!
Be encouraged,
Sandra
