It was hot…too hot…but we had a great time handing out free ‘scotch biscuits’ and leaflets about how the Presbyterian Church found it’s way to Bendigo…and how people can get in contact with us today plus some good news from God! We also had opportunity for people to complete a quiz on Scotland’s geography, culture and religious history! Phew! Exhausting! But all worth it! Thanks team for a great effort!
Yes, we’ll be at the ‘Scots Day Out’ again this year. This celebration will be held in Rosalind Park, Bendigo on February 11th. So look out for our tent and and come and say hello!
And if you are wondering how it is that we are a part of ‘Scots Day Out’, well… our denomination has some very strong links back to Scotland … but that doesn’t mean you have to be Scottish to come to our church! (PS The tartan pictured above is Bendigo’s own)
We’ll be meeting at 10:30am each Sunday during January 2017. Our preaching series will follow Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians and we’ll be thinking about the return of Jesus (because that’s what the lettter is about!)
Join us on Sunday at 9:30am and stay for some morning tea in the hall!
Join us as we come together for ‘Carols by Torchlight’ (yep, it’s much safer than candles!) at St John’s on Sunday December 18th at 8pm, followed by supper in the hall (please bring some to share!) All are very welcome!
Come and join with us on Sunday November 27th at 10:30am when we’ll be wrapping up our Playgroup, SMILE Playgroup and Sunday School year once again! Lots on for the children and a yummy shared lunch to follow in the hall…!
Come and join us as we meet with our brothers and sisters from Eaglehawk and Reforming (South East Bendigo) Presbyterian Churches!
It’s coming up quickly… Our annual Naval Service is at 10:30am on Sunday October 23. We are looking forward to welcoming the members of Bendigo’s ex-Navalmen’s Club, the Cadets of TS Bendigo, and our our own guest preacher, Rev Miles Fagan from Mt Evelyn Presbyterian Church. Miles also serves as a Naval Chaplain (Reserve) at HMAS Cerebus. Join us for a yummy morning tea that follows..!
Dennis & Glenys Tranter serve with Gospel Recordings Network (and APWM) by producing Bible related materials in Aborginal English.
We are looking forward to their visit to us on Thursday night October 13th for a shared meal at 6pm in our hall, followed by an update on their ministry at 7:30pm. All are welcome!
PS: Dennis promises that he has trimmed his beard!
We are pleased that two of our young people are attending North Camp at Corop next weekend!
Please pray for the camp and the preaching and the study of God’s Word on the seven signs of the Gospel of John.
See John 20:30-31 to get a hint of what it might all be about!
