With SCPC Celebration Sunday 2021 still fresh in our memories, Southern Cross Goonellabah (SCG) is going to have our very first Celebration Sunday in Goonellabah. Five years young, we will celebrate God’s amazing love for us and the wonderful work that he continues to give us, reaching out to our town with the love of God, expressed ultimately through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
What a challenging, yet joyful five years it’s been for us.
Personally, I still miss spending lots of time with my wider church family at SCPC but I have also thoroughly enjoyed growing in love for my church family here in Goonellabah, and seeing others come to know Jesus and all of us growing in faith. Praise God for his marvellous work in our hearts!
As COVID restrictions ease, I pray that we will remain sensitive toward others who may still be cautious about gathering, and I pray that we will continue to be creative about how we love each other.
At SCG, we’ll be taking a break from our preaching series in 1 Corinthians, and will be celebrating the foundation of our love; celebrating God’s love for us as we study Jesus’ new commandment to love one another as he has loved us (John 13:34-35).
May we all rest securely in the foundation of his love and in response love each other deeply, so that everyone will know that we are Jesus’ disciples and we pray that more and more people in Lismore and Goonellabah will know the love of the Father through the gracious gift of his son.
Matt
