Sunday 3rd May 2020
Welcome! to our Sunday Scattering online. Wherever you find yourself scattered, we pray you will be encouraged from God’s word as we open to 2 Corinthians 1 and see that belonging to our faithful saviour Jesus Christ, guarantees comfort in both life and death. We’ll be asking the question: Where do you turn for comfort in times of trouble?
Following, is all the information you will need to be able to benefit from our scatterings this Sunday.

Term 2 Series This Sunday we commence our Term 2 series ‘The Good News We Almost Forgot’. You would have received your Term 2 booklets in the post last week, along with some other little encouragements in the envelopes. If you like to take notes during the Bible talk, we have included notes pages in the back of your booklet for that exact purpose.
Digital DNAs Digital DNAs kick off this week so jump into your DNA Zoom rooms at your DNA time.
‘The Good Life Gym‘ What is ‘The good life Gym’!? It’s us encouraging each other to make the most of social isolation by growing in godliness. So send in your photos of what helps you to live the good life of the gospel: A prayer journal, a friend on ZOOM, a place you like to do your quiet time. You might like to have a bit of fun with it or others might prefer a more reflective image. But the goal is to be encouraged by photos of each other and to provide some extra enthusiasm to help us keep growing as followers of Jesus. We’ll include some photos in our Sunday Scatterings and also put one image up on the SCPC instagram page each week.
Youth this term Zoom Humpday & Zoom Youth are kicking off this Wednesday & Friday. There will be all the usual fun and good Bible teaching. Parent permission notes need to be returned so Youthies can jump in on Zoom.
Term 2 Book Club
The ‘Crazy Busy’ books have been posted to everyone who has ordered a copy along with the reading schedule. We’ll be reading one or two chapters a week and the discussion night will be at the end of term on June 24.
For more information, or if you have any questions, please contact your Gospel Community Vision Coordinator or speak to a staff member.
