Wednesday on the Web

Posted on by Simon Williams

I get emails everyday that have links to Christian content. I am sure that your Social Media feed is full of memes, Scriptures’ and inspiring quotes. We glance at them and keep on scrolling, it’s just what we do.

The idea of Wednesday on the Web is that you sit down and read an article, one that will make you think, one that may challenge an area of life or faith, or both!

So grab your favourite mid-morning beverage (triple shot decaf – is not a real thing!) and enjoy this article that came into my inbox this week.

Shalom, Simon

In Focus Webinar

Posted on by Simon Williams

Wednesday 5 May 7:30pm

We often talk about the Father and Son but don’t know what to do with the Spirit. Who is the Spirit? Why does the Spirit matter for how we live each day? Join us as we talk about the Lord and Life-Giver, the Holy Spirit, the under-stated but equally divine member of the Triune God; the person we know the least, who knows us best.

One-hour webinar with Carey’s systematic theology lecturer; Dr Christa McKirland.

Streamed live in the church lounge, please ensure that you arrive prior to 7:30pm.

A great chance to get together and spend some quality time eating, chatting and having some old fashioned fun!

After the service, 12 noon, on the lawn next to church, under the marquee, with plenty of space to spread out. Its a BYO event and we will have a BBQ onsite so that you can burn, I mean cook your sausages or whatever else you bring.

See you there, don’t forget the sunscreen, hat and hydration!
