Update for Monday, August 26th
Dear Church family and friends,
“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength” Philippians 4:13.
A well know Bible verse, well-timed for teacher, pupil and parent alike at the beginning of the new school year. Whether that was deliberate or not is up for debate, but it did form part of Pastor Johannes’ latest sermon in his series on Philippians this Sunday.

This Week in Church…
YABS will meet up in their smaller groups on Tuesday evening. Everyone starts at 7pm, but in different places around Giessen – there’s even an English speaking group! For more information on where the groups are located, and what they will be getting up to, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
From one sermon series to another, this coming Sunday Lucas will continue his exploration of the book of Habakkuk in our service at 11am. To catch up on what he has said so far, you can check out this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLevqjirL-fLMFGUn-3y4bCNaYgadTV4KQ. As this is also the first Sunday of the month, we will be celebrating the Lord’s Table together. If you are joining from our livestream – a link to which will be given to you on writing to office@ibc.giessen.org – you may wish to gather the elements for yourself before getting online.
A Date for your Diaries…
While there may not be a Mid-Week Bible Study until the end of September, we would like to make you aware of an event to be held on a Wednesday evening at 7pm in the FTH facilities – although it is in a few weeks’ time! On 18th September, Michael Revis will be holding a talk entitled “From Mecca to Mainz”, focussing on how we as Christians can communicate effectively with Muslims. Surely an interesting topic, let’s come to it with an open heart and mind.
While you have your planners at hand, we’d like to remind the men that there will be no monthly Breakfast in September. The FTH will be using the Kitchen for an event of their own on that day. The women, however, can look forward to their next King’s Daughters session on 14th September – more information to follow!
May God bless you in this week!
