Church Service December 6
This week, we launch our Advent series. The reality of God coming down to earth is something we should approach with reflection and gratitude. What always amazes me is how unexpected Jesus was to the very people who thought they were ready for the Messiah. Advent reminds us that God often arrives in ways we don’t anticipate. — Marcus

Today’s Offering: Mission to the Cities
It might surprise you to know that the most challenging mission field in the South Pacific Division is in our major cities, particularly amongst our post-Christian, majority people groups. God loves our cities. Last year’s offering is being used in several projects including the Karla Bidjar First Nations Church Plant in Perth, Flatbush Church Plant in Auckland, New Design Community in Perth, Northern Beaches Church Plant in Sydney, Doncaster Hope Fellowship in Melbourne, the Brisbane Karen Church Plant and many more. Please pray for our cities, pray for volunteers who will be willing to minister in our cities and pray that this Mission to the Cities offering will continue to help “the essential work of our time”. Thank you for your kind support.
