Update for Monday, May 13th
Dear Church family and friends,
Always expect the unexpected.
Rather than Acts 1 being the basis for Pastor Buddy’s sermon on the topic of Ascension Day – preached during our Sunday service yesterday – Psalm 68 was his Bible passage of choice. To learn how the Psalm is also relevant to the events 40 days after that first Easter, just click this link. You may wish to turn the volume up on your speakers before doing so, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTrvwxg1-QQ
This Week in Church…
On Tuesday evening YABS returns to meeting in its smaller groups. There are three in total – two German- and one English-speaking – but all meet at the same time: 7pm. If you would like to know where they meet, and what they are currently studying, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Mid-Week Bible Study takes place via zoom on Wednesday evening, also at 7pm. Here, the topic of study is the book of Amos. To take part, all you need to do is grab your computer, e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org for a link and then ‘turn up’ with your Bible.
With Jesus returned to His Father’s side, the Holy Spirit is sent down to dwell in and among us. Pastor Buddy will preach on this from John 16 on Sunday 19th May, which is also known as Pentecost Sunday. Our service starts at the regular time of 11am, both in the Chapel Room at the FTH and online. Please write to office@ibc-giessen.org for access to our livestream.
This week we are reminded of the importance of “God’s Word in conversations with neighbours and family members who do not yet know God”. Surely there is someone, or are people, in our lives who need to know what Jesus Christ did for them. Perhaps they are on the very edge of making a decision to follow Jesus. Pray that God makes Himself known in their lives!
May God bless you this week!
