Dear Church family and friends,
This past Thursday we marked Jesus’ return to the Father in heaven (Ascension Day/Himmelfahrt). This coming Sunday and Monday, there will be a Bank Holiday to commemorate the sending of the Holy Spirit (Pfingsten/Pentecost). But why do we need the Holy Spirit, and what is its purpose? As Pastor Buddy explained in Sunday’s sermon, the Holy Spirit is a helper. With Jesus no longer physically by our side, it is His Spirit that guides, comforts and strengthens us. Our own plans are futile without it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFMMT2jTVk
This week in Church…
Young Adults’ Bible Study (YABS) meets on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. More information can be found in the WhatsApp group or by asking Pastor Johannes, Mona or Oliver. Another way you can get in touch is by writing to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Mid-Week Bible Study will meet again on Wednesday at 7pm. This is an online only event, so you will need to grab your Bible and click on this link to learn more about the kings of Israel.
Men’s Breakfast is upon us again this Saturday at 9:30am. If you are a gentleman and can make it to the Campus für Christus building, we’d love to see you! Just drop us a line and tell us what you will bring to the buffet.
