SUNDAY SERVICES
09 OCTOBER – SUNDAY @9.30am
This Sunday, Pastor Craig Lydon will be starting our new sermon series on the book of Haggai, entitled Living Strong in Confusing Times
Craig says “The people of Israel had been in exile for many years, and the Persian King had allowed a small group of Jews to return to Israel to commence rebuilding the temple (Ezra 1-6 covers this period). They began so well but opposition and obstacles came that brought discouragement and ultimately a change in their priorities for God’s work. Haggai is a beautiful picture of real people living in a tumultuous period and God’s antidote for reorientating their priorities. It’s said that there is nothing new, just history repeating itself. Read ahead, the book of Haggai is only two chapters long!”

16 OCTOBER – BAPTIST HISTORICAL SOCIETY AGM
The Baptist Historical Society of WA is having their AGM on 16 October and will feature guest speaker Rick Pekan, Church Relations and Community Leader of Bible Society WA.

Rick will be sharing what the Bible Society is doing to continue this inspiring work. They have been long involved in working with other groups to translate and produce Bibles in many languages, and are focussing on producing texts in various Aboriginal languages and dialects.
