I remember the first conversations I had about the possibility of growing to two Sunday morning gatherings.  It was back in June last year.  Even as time progressed and the Littlehampton Primary School gymnasium got more and more full on Sunday mornings, April 29 2012 seemed such a long way off!

And yet this Sunday will be our last Sunday as one congregation at 10 AM!  The following week we launch our 9 AM and 11 AM gatherings as we seek to create space for more people to join us.  I’m confident that in the coming weeks and months God will continue to grow our church as he draws in more and more people.

When you come in to the gymnasium this Sunday you'll find a Prayer Focus postcard waiting for you.  I think it is fairly self-explanatory!  Our hope is that these cards will help all of us make the most of the gospel opportunities that our growing to two Sunday morning gatherings will provide.  A new beginning for our church gives new opportunities for new beginnings for the people we care about to become part of our church community and hear about Jesus.  Naturally, simply coming along to church doesn’t make somebody a Christian, which is why we want to be praying and asking God to be changing people’s hearts and making himself known to them.

On the front of the card is space to write the names of up to five friends, family, neighbours or colleagues who you can pray for in the lead up to our growing to two on April 29^th.  These may be people you are already praying for, or you may like to spend some time thinking about whose names you can write there.  It doesn’t matter if you can’t come up with five names, you can always start with just one!

Hi TMBers, to help you as you pray for your friends, family and colleagues who don't know Jesus in the lead up to our growing  to two services, we've got new Prayer Focus Cards for you, hot off the printing presses! 

You'll be able to pick one up on Sunday and write the names of five friends you're praying for.  On the reverse are some suggested things to pray for them as we prepare to grow to 9 AM and 11 AM on Sunday April 29.

Don't forget our Hour of Prayer on Monday 13th February as we pray for our church as we grow to two morning gatherings in April this year.

We'll meet from 7:30 - 8:30 PM in the office.  We'll keep pretty much to the 60 minutes, so please try and arrive promptly!

One of the great advantages of being part of a network of churches is that we can benefit from the gifts and skills of people not only in our own congregation but also those who serve in other churches across Adelaide.  The equip training program is a great example of this broader benefit. 

Equip runs on Friday evening March 23^rd and all day Saturday March 24^th and is a training resource that seeks to grow and develop Christian people from all walks of life so they are better equipped to serve and be a witness of the gospel.   Equip offers a range of subjects, most of which involve eight 50 minute sessions.  There are three pathways which cover the broad areas of Essentials, Ministry and Christian Thought and over the four Equip events in a 2 year cycle, over 30 different subjects are offered.

 God has brought many people into our church in the nearly two years that we have been together.  This growing community of young and old and in between has been one of the great blessings we’ve received from God’s hand.  I’m constantly hearing of people’s excitement at being part of a growing family where God is at work making himself known and drawing people to himself.  A growing family also presents challenges! This year our children’s and youth ministry has grown to six separate groups at three different addresses and on Sunday mornings, the kids in our Children’s Ministry have taken over yet another room in the Molly Miels building.  And as was especially evident over the holidays when the children stayed in the service, we’re heading steadily towards capacity in the gymnasium.

Since July 2011 the Leadership Team have been considering ways for us to continue to accommodate the growing number of people that God is drawing into our community, and as you will be aware, our plan is to grow to two Sunday morning gatherings, at 9 AM and 11 AM from the 29th of April.
