Update for Monday, June 17th
Dear Church family and friends,
Distractions. They’re everywhere: most commonly nowadays they are on your mobile phone, but each generation must have its own. Whether we are choosing to be distracted or trying to fill up ‘empty time’, it’s what you are distracting yourself with which can cause the most harm. In the next part of his series on Philippians, Pastor Johannes explored this on Sunday morning. To listen again, please click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlVyXQllkEM
This Week in Church…
YABS continues to meet in their smaller groups on Tuesday, studying the book of Acts in different parts of Giessen. All groups meet at 7pm and one of them is English speaking. To find out more, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Mid-Week Bible Study is back this week! To get involve with the study on the book of Amos, you are warmly invited to the online meeting at 7pm: just e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org for a link.
As it is the fourth Saturday in the month at the end of the week, the men will be gathering together for breakfast at 9:30am in the Student Kitchen at the FTH. We encourage all the gentlemen who would like to attend to register beforehand and tell us what they will bring with them, as well as if they are inviting any friends. If that’s you then get in touch with us at office@ibc-giessen.org.
Simon will be preaching on Sunday morning during our service at 11am. To hear what God has given him to say, you can either join us in-person in the Chapel Room at the FTH, or you can watch along on our livestream. You can gain access by asking for a link at office@ibc-giessen.org.
Summertime…
… still seems a long way away – but it’s either supposedly here already, or very close…
Either way, our BBQ on 14th July isn’t that far off at all. Only 3 weeks (4 if you include the Sunday the BBQ is on)! The Church will provide meat and meat substitutes to go on the grill, but we’re counting on you to bring sides and desserts. There will be a sign-up sheet at Church next week; however, we do understand that you may not have decided what your contribution will be yet. If you are certain that you will be there though, please either put your name down somewhere on that list, or writing to office@ibc-giessen.org.
Another date for the diary is the 11th August. We will be holding a Baptismal Service at a local swimming and camping area and it would be brilliant to see as many familiar faces there as possible. Afterward, there will be time for fellowship and food. We will give more details closer to the date!
Have a blessed week!
