Update for Monday, February 12th
Dear Church family and friends,
Anyone watch the game last night? Well we know that Pastor Johannes did, as he mentions it at the beginning of his sermon. In fact, his latest instalment of his series on Philippians around the notes a coach might give to the players on his team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txRBibWC3aI
This Week in Church…
On Tuesday evening, YABS will be meeting in their separate groups dotted around Giessen. Everyone starts at 7pm, so if you’d like to find out who meets closest to you, then 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 write to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link and grab your Bible.
We will have our first trial Sunday for a new translation app during this week’s service. To use it, you will need to download the Linkbox app and then scan a QR-code or use an event code. We are offering a translation of the sermon only, and it will only work for those in the building at the time of the service (11am). Those attending online will have to make do with just the English version.
After the service, at 1pm, the music ministry will be meeting together to eat, organise and pray together. We are always on the lookout for more musicians – so if you’ve been thinking about getting involved, this is a very good opportunity to do so! For more information about this, or the translation app, or to get a link to the livestream, please write to office@ibc-giessen.org.
It feels like Christmas has barely passed and we already started announcing the Maundy Thursday service and Easter Sunday breakfast this past Sunday! This week marks the beginning of Lent, when people give up bad habits or certain luxuries until Easter Sunday. While it is a noble thing, it has no meaning if our eyes are not then turning to Jesus and all that He did for us through His death on the cross. We pray that in these 40 days, everyone can experience Jesus, and truly get to know the impact of Jesus’ sacrifice in their lives.
Have a blessed week!
