Update for Monday, August 5th
Dear Church family and friends,
There’s quite a lot going on at IBC Giessen this week, so we’ll skip a long introduction and start in our usual way with the recording of Pastor Buddy’s sermon from this Sunday – the next instalment of the ‘Verse of the Year’ series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQRkhzYcn3o
This Week in Church…
It’s Big YABS time again this Tuesday! At 6:30pm all groups of the Young Adults’ Bible Study will gather together for a buffet dinner in the Student Kitchen of the FTH. All contributions are welcome! If you’ve been thinking about visiting YABS for a while, but have never taken the plunge, this is a good opportunity to do so. There will be singing, God’s Word and praying, as well as fellowship with everyone. Should you have any further questions, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Mid-Week Bible Study is also at 7pm, but on Wednesday evening via Zoom. This week’s session will be the second to last one, before taking a break from the 21st August. At some point in September the Bible Study will start again and we will provide you that information when we have it. Until then, you can be part of this week’s session on Amos by writing to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link, and grabbing your Bible.
On Saturday (10th) afternoon, the King’s Daughters will be taking a trip to the Marburg Botanical Gardens. If you are a woman and interested in joining them, they will meet at the FTH at 1pm and drive there together. Entrance to the Gardens is 5€, or 3€ for students. Please let them know if you plan on being part of the group by writing to office@ibc-giessen.org by Thursday (8th) at the latest.
Last week we had reminded you of the Baptism Service that would be taking place this coming Sunday, after the regular Church service at the FTH. We are sorry to inform you that this has been cancelled on two grounds: no-one came forward to be baptised, and there is an issue with the water at the Wissmarer See! The morning service however, will still take place at 11am. If you are away, ill, or unable to make it for any other reason, you are invited to join the online congregation via our livestream – a link can be obtained by getting in contact with office@ibc-giessen.org .
May God bless you in this week!
