Update for Monday, May 6th
Dear Church family and friends,
Another week in May and there’s another Bank Holiday. Forty days on from Easter, we now reach Ascension Day, when Jesus returned to heaven to be with His Father. At IBC Giessen we do not have a special service for this event, but we do know that for many people it’s a time of reflection and a time for personal study. Maybe you would like to listen to last week’s sermon again – or for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEBQQ5JJhT4 – or any of the playlists that we posted last week.
This Week in Church…
It’s Big YABS time again on Tuesday evening! What this means is that all the Young Adult groups meet together in the Student Kitchen at 6:30pm to share food, fellowship, praise and the Bible. All contributions to the buffet are highly welcomed. If you have been thinking about going to YABS for a while, but have never made that step, this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. For more information, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
After last week’s break, the Mid-Week Bible Study returns to the book of Amos this Wednesday at 7pm. The group will be meeting online, so you will need a Bible and a link, which you can get by e-mailing office@ibc-giessen.org.
There will indeed be a King’s Daughters event this coming Saturday – but it’s fully booked! Please do not turn up or try to register a place now, as the deadline has passed and their capacity is full. The next King’s Daughters meeting will take place in June, so keep an eye out for more information on that!
Last, and by certainly no means least, we will all gather together on Sunday morning at 11am for our Church service. If you are unable to make it because you are ill or travelling over the long weekend, we would be happy to see you on our livestream – please write to office@ibc-giessen.org if you plan on joining us online.
As Sunday 12th May is also Mother’s Day, it would be pertinent to remember all mothers, mothers-to-be and those who wish to be mothers in our prayers.
Have a blessed week, and a peaceful long weekend with plenty of opportunity to enjoy God’s presence!
