Update for Monday, February 5th
Dear Church family and friends,
Semesters coming to an end, timetable changes, Business Meetings – and is it just us, or are the birds beginning to come out to explore the world again after their winter in hibernation? A change of season is definitely in the air!
Unfortunately we are unable to provide a recording of Pastor Buddy’s sermon from Sunday as sound issues rendered the recording difficult to listen to.
This Week in Church…
…it’s Big YABS for our Young Adult’s Bible Study. On Tuesday evening all groups will meet at their regular time of 7pm, but together as one large group at the student kitchen of the FTH. There will be a ‘bring and share’ buffet – but only if people contribute food and drink to it! For more information, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Our Amos Mid-Week Bible Study continues on Wednesday at 7pm online. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time, or whether you’ve been to every session, just grab your Bible and click the link – which you can get by e-mailing office@ibc-giessen.org.
The next King’s Daughter meeting takes place on Saturday 10th, at 10am! Again, the earlier start doesn’t mean that breakfast is part of the programme, but snacks can be brought to share with the other women if wished. In their meeting, the ladies will be writing letters to their younger selves, detailing the many ways in which God has shown them His love through the years. If you are a lady and are interested in joining in, please write to office@ibc-giessen.org , and we will look forward to seeing you at the student kitchen at the FTH on Saturday morning.
Sunday sees not only our service which starts at 11am – write to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link to the livestream in case you cannot make it – but also our Business Meeting which begins after the service ends (around 1pm). We are not opening the vote online this year, as ensuring the vote’s anonymity in this way is complicated – as well as its validity, as only members are allowed to participate in votes. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3,…
A little while ago we began to research solutions to a request given by many: translating the sermon into German. We are pleased to offer a new trial run on 18th and 25th February via an app. If this is something that you feel would be a benefit to you, please bring your smartphone and a set of headphones with you on those Sundays.
Have a blessed week!
