St John’s Weekly Bulletin – Sunday 3 June 2018

On Wednesday night a few members of our church family were present at Event cinemas in Newcastle for the premier screening of “For the love of God: How the church is both worse and better than you ever imagined”, a new documentary project jointly produced by the Bible Society and the Centre for Public Christianity. It explored the way that throughout history, Christians have ‘shaped the landscape’ for better and for worse and how many of the most central and important values in our society – things like human rights, charity, humility and non-violence – can all be traced back to a single source: Jesus of Nazareth. I encourage you to check it out for yourself (details can be found here: https://fortheloveofgodproject.com/).

Morning Prayer at St John’s

A reminder that on Tuesday Mornings at 9:30am we gather for a simple service of morning prayer. If you are looking for an opportunity to join others in prayer and the sharing of scripture or simply something different in your regular prayer routine please come and join us. All are welcome.

Supporting St John’s Church

We encourage members of St John’s to support the ministry of our parish by giving directly to the parish account, rather than bringing cash to church. If you can do this, our account details are:

The Hub – A Jesus Community

The Hub are a community of people who exist to encourage, disciple and train each other to live lives for Jesus. Each we through the school term, we come together for KoG (our primary-school kids’ group), Dinner, Worship: Your Way and Youth (our high-school youth group). We encourage you to keep this growing ministry in your prayers and to consider whether you are able to make the Hub everything that it can be. Currently we are looking for people to assist us with the meal we share together on Friday night and would love to hear from you if you are able to be involved. Costs are reimbursable and you are invited to come and join us as we eat, share and fellowship together! If you would like more informaiton or would like to be involved please contact Rob on 0425278063/rob@saintjohns.com.au‬ or Mark on 0403901348/markthornton@saintjohns.com.au.
