Update for Thursday, January 4th
Dear Church family and friends,
Whether you are already back at work or still at home, there’s no doubt that at some point we all would have done the same thing over the last week or so – or if we haven’t yet done so, we will in the upcoming days: looking at our calendars and diaries and wondering how all the appointments we need to make and the events we need to attend will fit into this year.
Here at IBC Giessen, we have a similar issue. We can tell you that a service happened on Sunday, which marked the New Year – you can listen to the sermon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAJarjTuFZY – and we can tell you that there will be a service this coming Sunday (7th) at 11am, in which we will celebrate the Lord’s Table. In case you are still out and about – or worse, you’ve started the year ill – then you are of course more than welcome to join us on our livestream.
As yet there is no start date for our regular Bible Studies, but we can let you know of a few things coming up relatively soon.
Firstly, the King’s Daughters will be having a craft-based event on Saturday 13th January. While the time is yet to be confirmed, ladies, hold that day free! Not to be left out, the Men’s Breakfast takes place in its regular pattern of the 4th Saturday of the month at 9:30am, with the first gathering taking place on Saturday 27th January.
With our Business Meeting coming up, we wanted to give people the opportunity to contribute to the agenda, as well as have a chance to look over the proposed budget and ask questions, or suggest changes. The meeting itself will take place after a service in early February – so you have plenty of time to have a think. For a copy of the proposed budget, a link to the livestream of our service this coming Sunday or more information on anything related to IBC Giessen, please e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org.
We also pray that you have had a wonderful end to 2023, and have had a re-energised start into the New Year! Be blessed!
