Dear Church family and friends,
‘… and leaving the Spirit ‘til, the work on earth is done’
On Sunday, in our next instalment of our series in John, Pastor Lucas preached on chapter 16 verses 12 to 15. In this passage, Jesus continues to explain that the disciples will not be left alone after His time with them is over. Jesus’ part in God’s salvation plan is coming to a close, but there is still work to be done. To the disciples and even us nowadays, the Spirit remains a mystery yet we can see Him working every day in our lives. Like Jesus, the Spirit has many roles or functions – all of which are designed to glorify God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UjTWfbLphU

Summer…
We at IBC Giessen love to meet together after service for food and at this time of year that means it is barbecue time! In around four weeks’ time, on 21st June, we will fire up the grill and serve up a tasty meal for everyone. All we ask is for contributions of salads, sides and desserts to go along with the sausages that the Church will provide. So that we do not end up with lots of leftovers, we would be thankful if you could get in touch if you plan on joining us.
Have a blessed week!
