NEWS BRIEF

Hey church,

We’d like to share with you options this season to invest in your (spiritual) life. And next Sunday there will be a party, because in the afternoon we have another Baptism Service!

Finally, for all students and 20-somethings: the last chance to join the City Point Funweekend!

Be blessed!
Joshua & Chelsea

This Coming Sunday

Party!

This coming Sunday we will baptize people again! Baptism is a celebration for the whole church because we celebrate that people have accepted Jesus into their lives and want to continue living with Him. A powerful, visible testimony. Will you celebrate with us?

Sunday 12:15 pm

Grow: Discipleship & Development

Do you want to invest in your growth? This season we’re offering a number of courses
that will start in the coming weeks.

Alpha is a series of gatherings in which you and others discuss life and the Christian faith. What is the purpose of life? Who is God and what about Jesus? What is prayer or how do I read the bible?

Started yesterday; you can still join.

Perhaps you recognize these questions or are looking to learn more about the Christian faith. You’re welcome as you are, whether you believe, not or a little. There is plenty of room to share your questions and ideas.

At Alpha you will discover, in a relaxed way, what the Christian faith means and how it can be relevant for you. The meetings are accessible, educational and also enjoyable. Ask all your questions and discuss interesting topics with other participants.

Since last summer, no fewer than 101 people have participated in Alpha! Could this be something for you too?

The Prayer Course is a journey through the Lord’s Prayer in 8 short films with accompanying discussion questions for each meeting. The course is designed to start a conversation about prayer and to deepen your prayer life.

Starts next week.

One of the most difficult topics people come up with when you talk to them about God is the question of suffering. If God exists, why is there so much suffering in the world? Why doesn’t God intervene? Does suffering have a purpose? Is it the fault of people themselves if they have to suffer? And why do Christians actually suffer?

Bible Study: The Theology of Suffering

Starts this coming Sunday (25 Septmeber).
