Update for Monday, May 27th
Dear Church family and friends,
Once again our livestream on Sunday morning was plagued by technical difficulties. Nevertheless, our guys at the sound system persevered and found a solution – of sorts. The sound quality of the recording is not the best, but it is audible: you might just want to turn your speakers up… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLXU6cqkUI0
This Week in Church…
Young Adult Bible Study (YABS) continues on Tuesday evening at 7pm in various places around Giessen. There are three groups in total, including an English-speaking one. To find out who meets where, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
The study of the book of Amos continues in Mid-Week Bible Study on Wednesday evening, also at 7pm. As this is an online only meeting, you will need a link to access it, and you can get one by e-mailing office@ibc-giessen.org.
We’re heading to the halfway point in the calendar with June starting on Saturday! That means that Sunday will be the first in the month, so we’d like to invite you to join us at the Lord’s Table, which will be celebrate in our service at 11am. Should you not be able to get to the FTH, you are more than welcome to prepare the elements beforehand and join us online, just write to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link.
Coming Up…
… is some physical activity for the ladies! On Saturday 8th June at 3pm, the women of King’s Daughters will be exploring the topic of travel in the Bible by going on a bike ride. It will be about an hour’s worth of cycling with a sweet treat at the end. Don’t worry if you don’t have a bicycle, one can be arranged for you! Again, the organisers would be thankful if any woman wishing to join the tour would register beforehand, please write to office@ibc-giessen.org.
In the last announcement we mentioned two events comping up this summer. Well, now we have some dates. The Church BBQ will be held after the service on Sunday 14th July, whereas the Baptism service will take place after the service on Sunday 11th August.
Lastly, we’d like to make you aware of the Bank Holiday on Thursday. ‘Fronleichnam’ or ‘Corpus Christi’ is a Catholic holiday which reminds us that Jesus was human too, by focussing on the body that was left behind. Shops, schools and many places of work will be closed.
May you, along with those experiencing warfare, hardship and desperation, know of God’s peace this week.
