This Sunday, November 10 at 11:30am, we will hold a preliminary information session in preparation for our Congregational meeting on November 17.
This week’s preliminary information session will go from 11:30-12:30pm.
Our LT, along with CoM Exec., will present the stipend for the new Next Generation role for endorsement for 2025. The package was finalised at the budget meeting of the CoM on Wednesday night this week. The figures for this will be available for perusal on Sunday at the information session. To understand the role of the NG pastor 2025 and our candidate, you can peruse some previous pastors’ pens (you can find them from October 9, September 5, June 27, and March 22).
The other opportunity that will be explained at the information session on Sunday is the invitation from MTS Australia to support the establishment of MTS in Zimbabwe over the next five years. You can find more information about this on the MTS website.
The gospel baton passing to the next generation, both here in Australia and overseas, is critical to the growth of the kingdom of God. As you will discover on Sunday, these initiatives come at a cost! Please consider coming along so you can feel informed and excited about the opportunities before us!
I simply love the boldness of our gospel forbears, who got the gospel out no matter the cost!!! Have a listen to the passion of the apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians:
1 Thessalonians 2:1-2 NIV
[1] You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. [2] We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.
