Hi Church,
This is the second week that we have the amazing opportunity to gather both
physically and online, and we are excited to open our church doors again this
Sunday. Thank you to those who have registered and will be attending worship in
person.
We continue in various ways to go back and also adapt as we move forward and persist in our prayers for Victoria, and new cases discovered in Queensland. May the cases hear be handled swiftly and not impact the positive trajectory we currently experience.
As we pray and continue our recent re-opening of physical worship centres, it
should be mentioned that we are blessed to be able to continue our online
services, and look forward to people joining us again in this way, and please
do not feel under any obligation to join us physically – especially if you are
over the age of 70, or 65 with underlying health concerns as per our
governments health advice.
To ensure a great experience for our online worshippers, we are looking out for
further volunteers in this great area of ministry, as we seek to reach out to
more people with the good news of Jesus. So if you are able, and have a calling
and desire to help in this way, please let us know!
It is worthwhile to again be reminded that the coming weeks and months ahead
are going to look anything but ‘normal’, and even as we gather together, it is
not going to be ‘worship as usual’, but as we have found as we have gathered
together online for the past four months – we can adapt, and the Holy Spirit
can still speak to us through his word, no matter what worship looks like, or
feels like or sounds like – even if it is a bit different. After all, worship
is not “our surroundings” but and expression of our hearts.
So as we gather together in family worship – online and in-person this weekend,
I trust and pray that you will still have the opportunity to be served by God
through His Word for you.
…
In His service,
Pastor Roelof
