Alpha Dinner and Course coming up…

The Alpha Course which has been running over this last term, concluded last Monday night. Well done everyone. If you missed it and would like to do the course, there is another one starting Monday evening 21 July. Talk to Peter Thompson for more details.

Mike Bunt (FGBMFI Southern Regional Director) from the finance industry and Ron Sinclair, a self employed builder will be speaking at 7:30pm on Monday 21 July at the Caroline Bay Lounge. This is a men’s meeting. Supper provided. 

Ministry Leaders Reports:

This is a reminder to for you to hand in your report for the year ending 30 June 2008. They need to be in by 08-08-08. It would actually help the process if you could email your report to wilsonstreet@orcon.net.nz. Thank you. If you need any guidance on preparing the report, talk to Nyree Moore or one of the Pastors.

Nominations for Elders – you can be involved in the process:

An Elders Nominating Committee has been appointed with the purpose of praying and bringing names to the AGM coming up in less than two months. If after some prayer, you think that a particular person would serve well as an Elder then please talk to either Stephen Styles 688 0546, Eleanor Stevens 688 9012 (current Elders), or Lenard Smythe 021 496523, Ross Beadle 686 1775, Bobbie Campbell 614 7170, or Janice Redhead 688 6482 who are available to receive your suggestions.  Please read Scriptures like 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-4. Elders must be a member and serve for two year terms. They are eligible for reappointment.

Foodbank Support:

At a recent Church Meeting, we talked about giving food (non-perishables) to the Salvation Army Foodbank to help at a time when people are experiencing increased costs. On Sunday mornings when there is Communion (next Sunday), there is now an opportunity for you to donate food (or financial donations in an envelope) which will be passed on to those in need. Nyree Moore and Jo Marr have volunteered to then take it to the Salvation Army.

Meals on Wheels:

August drivers and helpers are needed for serving meals to the elderly between 11.30am and 12.30pm.  Please contact Val Dickson 686 1294.  Thank you.

Remember to grab a tea or coffee and chat with one another!

Crèche is available off the foyer for babies and toddlers.

 Next week Kid’s ministry will re-start during the 10.30 am service… 

There are clip boards (by the sound desk) available for children.
