WHILE OUR CHURCH BUILDING IS REPAIRED WE ARE MEETING EACH SUNDAY AT THE MINERAL & LAPIDARY CLUB 11O WALTHAM RD (NEXT TO WALTHAM SCHOOL) AT 10AM.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME YOU.
Sunday 16th July 2017
Hospitality – God’s love made visible
Some questions…
- Was there something in today’s address that surprised, encouraged, unsettled, or intrigued you?
- Do you ever wonder why you ‘bump’ into people in your daily life? Have you ever experienced these chance encounters as a time when God may be speaking to you?
- How do you practice hospitality – reaching out to listen to others?
- Talk with someone else in our congregation about how we might grow our practice of hospitality together
Notices:
A very warm welcome to all who worship with us this morning. Please stay for morning tea after the service.
