I’m sure that many have been caught by surprise at how fast this year has gone. Music will be available in the New Year.
It’s a little like the Jamaican runner who broke the 100m sprint record. It all
happened so quickly that it took a little while for people to realize what had just PLEASE NOTE: Christmas Eve Service is
happened. CANCELLED.
When we look back at the events of this year, so much has taken place. Floods,
fires, fierce rain storms and dust storms, the economic events, great medical
breakthroughs, celebrations of achievements, and grief over tragedies, etc. And
that’s not counting what has occurred in our personal lives. Each person will
have a different story to tell of their own journey this year. Sunday 20th

a plan for good to those who love God and are called according to His design and followed by Morning Tea and Fellowship
purpose.” (Rom 8:28 Amp)
NO EVENING MEETING
The Bible tells us to “Let the peace of God reign in our hearts”, and this we can do
by our own decision. Circumstances and/or events do not have to be the things Sunday 3rd January
that shake us or get us into worrying or panic. It’s LETTING the One who lives
