David's notes

Greetings, 

We dedicate the Young Seekers teachers this Sunday and we thank God for their vision and for the great things they have planned for the year ahead. 

I also bring your attention to the new Sunday evening teaching programme entitled - 'Unlocking the bible'. The first part on the Old Testament will run from February the 6th until the 27th. No prior knowledge is needed, so come along and learn with us. It will only be for one hour - from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. 

It will be led by our very own Dr. Bill Houston better known as Bill.  

Anne and I would like to thank the congregation for the end of year gift. It is much appreciated and we thank you for you generosity.

Compass

New Year greetings to you all,

I want to thank all those who helped out over the Christmas period and
for keeping the home fires burning. I have only heard good reports
about the worship.
Our Christmas eve service in Thabazimbi comprised of fifteen or so
people from the Angasii game lodge. We stood around a table in the
bushveld as the African sun set crimson behind us. It was the most
informal but beautiful Christmas service I have had the chance to lead.

Would you continue to keep the Hoctor's in your prayers and Sherryl
Yellowley who had a hip replacement on Wednesday after a nasty fall.

Grace,

David Barbour

Christmas

Christmas greetings and all that kind of seasonal cheer,

I have enjoyed the advent season and the sense of God's continuing shift into our darkness and mediocrity to bring hope and fresh life.
For all those who are away at this time we are thinking of you and longing to see you again in the new year. For those keeping the home fires burning may you ensure that Hilton and surrounds enjoy the sounds of Christian celebration and joy. For the first time in many years Anne, Howard and I will be away for Christmas. We are going to be with family up in the Thabazimbi area. I will be taking a Christmas service at the resident game lodge and will be thinking of you all. Many thanks to Ross Olivier and Errol Hind for taking our Christmas services. I leave you in good hands.

A joyful Christmas

Getting wet

>

I may be accused of prophecy but after a sermon entitled "Do you want

to get wet?" the rain this week has pretty well done that for you.

There is also an apology to be made. Last Tuesday I said we would be

speaking about 'construction' well as you guessed that got rained out

and we went swimming instead. I will not forecast this Sunday just in

case THE WAY leads us astray again!

If you are brave enough why don't you email me and let me know how

'wet' you got yourself this week or some other time in you life?

(Don't worry about emails that go public anymore - I get the emails

first before they get posted to everyone else)

If you missed Sunday's message you can always grab a copy off the

church website and if you need prayer or a listening ear don't

hesitate to give me a call.

For those new on the list I also write a blog (no not a bog) and if

you want to subscribe to the page enter your email address in the

place provided on the blog (link below) or use the RSS feed for those

more pc savvy.

See you soon,

David
