Update for Monday, June 24th
Dear Church family and friends,
Language is funny sometimes – particularly the pronunciation of certain words. It’s interesting too, how much the natural world influences our phrases and descriptions: ‘to badger someone’ means to remind someone, perhaps repeatedly until it’s irritating; ‘to beaver away’ at something means that you are working very hard; then, of course, there’s the German ‘Hamsterkaufen’ which means that a shopper has bought a large amount of an item in order to have plenty available to them.
We appear to have ‘gone down a rabbit hole’ – to explore a distraction in great detail – with this introduction. Let’s get back on track with the sermon Simon delivered on Sunday, where he invited us to consider the squirrels…: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twd-R6LB9e8
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.
On Wednesday evening, Mid-Week Bible Study takes place. To get involved with the study on the book of Amos, you are warmly invited to the online meeting at 7pm. Just write to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link.
Sunday will be not only the last Sunday in June, but also the month’s last day at all! Half of the year completed already! Of course, we will have our traditional service at 11am in the Chapel Room at the FTH with all those unable to attend watching via the livestream. If you would like to join the online congregation, you may do so by writing to office@ibc-giessen.org for a link.
Don’t forget…
… to register at office@ibc-giessen.org if you are planning on sticking around after our service on Sunday 14th July for our Church BBQ. The Church will provide the meat and would like to buy an appropriate amount with as minimal waste as possible. Those attending will need to bring anything else they may wish to see at a family BBQ, whether it’s a dessert, a salad or other side dish.
Have a blessed week!
