Update for Sunday, September 8th
Dear Church family and friends,
Just as people are getting back into the groove of life after the summer, all content from our facebook, website and YouTube channels will take a pause for three weeks as the people that operate them are away. Those signed up for our regular e-mails need not worry though, as these have been taken over by a kind volunteer! If you haven’t signed up for these yet, please e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org. The same e-mail address can be used for any questions you may have about IBC Giessen, including access to the livestreams to our services. Recorded sermons will not be published until the end of September.
You can, however, find the sermon from today’ service here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F8mj5VdS-4
Young Adults’ Bible Study (YABS) will continue to meet during this time in their smaller groups dotted around Giessen. Everyone meets up at 7pm, but at different people’s places. To find out which one is nearest you, or which one is the English speaking group, please write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
The ladies should not forget to register for the creative King’s Daughters event by this Wednesday (11th)! On Saturday 14th at 11am, the women will meet for fellowship, worship and crafting on the theme of Lydia and her story taken from the Book of Acts. To be part of the group, who will gather in the Student Kitchen of the FTH, please write to office@ibc-giessen.org.
A quick reminder to the men: there will be no Men’s Breakfast this month. It’s not a decision that we wanted to make, but we look forward to seeing you all at the end of October!
We would like to invite you to a talk which will be held at the FTH on Wednesday 18th September at 7pm. Mike Revis will be delving into the topic of sharing the gospel with Muslims in an event titled “From Mecca to Mainz – Understanding Islam, Muslims and our role as Christians in these uncertain times”. Definitely a pertinent topic, it will surely be a very interesting evening.
A new Bible Study will be starting the week after that, on 25th September at 7pm. As last time, it will be online only, but this time on the book of Galatians. Please write to the e-mail address given above if you are interested in taking part, and for a link to the meeting.
God bless you in these upcoming weeks – we’ll be back at the end of the month!
