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
It is not too late to register your interest in going on this short-term 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
Ways our church whaanau can support the team:
- 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.
- Provide sponsorship. Please talk to Rachel or Nigel if this is something you can do.
- Help cutting and/or laminating some of the resources Gillian needs before the upcoming trip. See Jean Archer on Sunday if you want to help.

Coming up this Sunday
This week Penny Day and Sandra Bruin will speak into how we can all have "Wholeness/Healing/Restoration though Christ" and give some examples of practical tools to connect with God.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12: 1-2
“See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” Isaiah 42:9
Trust Prayers
Last Sunday Rachel taught us three one-liner prayers to help us in our journey towards trusting God:
Lord God, help me to be more like Jesus.
Father God, help me to hand control to you.
Abba Father, help me to trust even when I don't understand.
We are aware that there are some of our church whaanau who find the season leading up to and after Christmas quite overwhelming. We would like to encourage you to pray the prayers above, and/or to get in contact with Sandra on care@fbc.nz We are here and would love to walk the journey to healing and wholeness with you.
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
