 FRIDAY 20th August CHURCH CONCERT We will be having a church concert run by Teulia and the Worship team.  They are wanting to both bring people together for a fun, talent-filled evening and to raise money for improving some of the Worship team resources.  If you are hiding a great talent (or would like to share one we know about) this is the time to get involved!  The more the merrier.  Contact Teuila for details.

23rd 6-9pm August CHILDREN’S CHURCH / PARENTING On the 23rd of August from 6pm to 9pm Angela has organised Jill Kaiser from Kids Friendly to come and run some training with our Children’s Church leaders, teachers and helpers.  Jull is well known for the great success she has had in establishing Kids Friendly in Presbyterian Churches throughout the country.  So if you are involved with children, or would like to be involved in the Children’s Ministry Team contact Angela.  Some of you benefitted from hearing Jill speak on the parents place in raising children in a Christian home and the parents role at a seminar here at St. John’s a few weeks ago.  By popular demand we will run this again … Angela is co-ordinating dates/times with Jill and we hope to let you know this soon.

Challenge - Learn the Apostle's Creed by heart!

 

I believe in God, the Father, Almighty, creator of heaven and earth

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virigin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.  

He descended into hell.

The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  

From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,

forgiveness of sins, the resurrection body, and the life everlasting.  

Amen!

 

Knowing what we believe / identifying false belief ...

Comment: The early church soon came to realize that false belief and wrong teaching were disruptive of church life and jeapardized the salvation of people.  the Apostle's Creed was one fo the earliest statements of faith that summed up what a person neeed to believe to be considered a part of the Christian community.  It remains until today as a valid test of orthodox Christian faith.
