Update for Monday, September 2nd
Dear Church family and friends,
We return this week to animals being used to illustrate a point in a sermon. Earlier this year, Simon talked of squirrels, but this Sunday just gone Lucas used a story about our amphibian friends the frogs to highlight how we should face difficulties in our lives, living in the hope that our salvation brings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBeek3RVRdo
This Week in Church…
Tomorrow evening at 6:30pm, all of the YABS groups will meet at the FTH Student Kitchen for a Big YABS meeting! A perfect time to get to know the groups, as well as YABS as a whole; if you are a young adult looking for an evening of worship, God’s Word, fellowship and food then this is the place for you! All contributions to the dinner are very welcome. For more information, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
We referred to him at the top of this announcement, but, incidentally, it’s Simon’s turn to preach again this Sunday (8th)! Our service starts at 11am, with a livestream for those unable to make it to the FTH Chapel Room. To gain access to the livestream, please e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org for a link.
A Couple of Dates for your Diaries…
The King’s Daughters will be getting crafty together on Saturday 14th at 11am, in the Student Kitchen of the FTH. Their make will be inspired by the story of Lydia from the Book of Acts, including her examples of faith and hospitality. While beverages and snacks will be provided, there is nothing stopping you from bringing your own favourite treat to share with the group. Women interested in attending should register by the Wednesday 11th September by writing to office@ibc-giessen.org .
A few days after that, everyone is invited to a talk given by Mike Revis, which will also be held in the FTH. “From Mecca to Mainz – Understanding Islam, Muslims and our role as Christians in these uncertain times” will focus on how we communicate and interact with those of the Islamic faith, while also remaining strong in our own. The part workshop, part talk will take place on 18th September at 7pm.
May God bless you in this week!
