Sunday Scattering 7th June 2020

Sunday 7th June 2020

Welcome! to our Sunday Scattering online. Wherever you find yourself scattered, we pray you will be encouraged from God’s word throughout our Term 3 series ‘The Good News We Almost Forgot’.

This Sunday we open to Romans 8 to consider that the Holy Spirit is given to us personally through faith in Christ and is our guarantor for adoption, life, godliness and salvation. We’ll be asking the question: Who is the Holy Spirit and what is his purpose?

Following, is all the information you will need to be able to benefit from our scatterings this Sunday.

Dining Out for Food for Thought Week

Now that we can book a table at a favourite restaurant and take some friends out for dinner, why not take the opportunity between 15 – 20 June in the lead up to Food for Thought Sunday? It would be a great way to encourage our friends to think about the three questions below and invite them to our homes for Food for Thought Sunday on June 21.

1. What do you live for? What is important?
2. Does it matter what and how people think?
3. What is the philosophy of Jesus Christ?

Food for Thought Sunday

On Sunday 21st June, David Robertson will be zooming into SCPC to help us & our friends understand how people think so that we can present them with the best idea of all. We will look at the various ways that people think – contrast that with the way of Christ – and then look at each other again through Christ’s eyes.

From Scattered to Gathered

Check out our SCPC website for the information our Leadership team has put together for the stages of returning from Scattered to Gathered Sunday meetings.

Keeping Our Distance

With Covid-19 restrictions easing, we still need to keep 1.5m distance between us and our visitors. Keep social distancing in mind when you send in your photos.

Term 2 Book Club: Crazy Busy

This week, read chapter 8. The discussion night will be at the end of term on June 24.
