Dear Church family and friends,
Pastor Lucas is right.
Let’s face it, if we knew precisely when the Lord Jesus plans on returning then it wouldn’t really help us. We’d procrastinate until the very last minute before we do something – because that’s when the ‘deadline’ is. Or worse, we do get ready with plenty of time to spare, but then berate others for not doing anything, or going about it differently to us. We would judge others’ actions as ‘not as good as ours’’. Either way, they are not a good reflection of Christ in our lives and don’t show Him as our priority: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-EucYBZzcU
This week in Church…
Praying Moms met this morning (Monday) at 9:30am via Zoom. There will be another prayer session next Tuesday (29th) at 7:30pm.
Young Adults’ Bible Study (YABS) takes place on Tuesday evening at 7pm. As it is the summer break/lecture-free point of the academic year, it might be that there are some changes. However, YABS usually meets in various places around Giessen, which might continue to be the case this week. If you plan on joining in for the first time this week, we suggest that you write to yabs@ibc-giessen.org first and see what’s happening.
Mid-Week Bible Study on Wednesday at 7pm will continue its look into the kings of Israel and their relevance to us today. No worries if you’ve not been to any previous sessions – newcomers are always welcome! If you cannot make it to the Israel Room of the FTH, just log in to the Zoom meeting from home or wherever you find yourself.
Men’s Breakfast for July will happen this Saturday at 9:30am in the Student Kitchen of the FTH. If you are a gentleman and would like to join the group, please write to the e-mail address given below telling us what you will bring to the buffet and whether any guests will be joining you.
Worship Service takes place on the usual day and time of Sunday at 11am in the Chapel Room of the FTH. For those already travelling, or have found themselves ill during the summer, we invite you to join us via our livestream.
If you require a link to our livestream or any other online activity we have coming up this week, please e-mail office@ibc-giessen.org. For a full list of all upcoming events at IBC Giessen, please take a look at the Church Calendar on our website: https://www.ibc-giessen.org/calendar/.
Baptism Service…
While we are on the subject of talking to our Pastors: should you wish to be baptised, we are having a Baptismal Service on 17th August after our Sunday Worship Service. To be part of the group publically declaring their faith, please get in contact with Pastor Buddy as soon as possible.
Blessings and God’s grace be poured out on to you this week!
