WOW! Only into our second week and each of us is feeling God's hand upon us in a very special way. Part of the wonder of God is that He knows each of us individually and where we are at. What amazes us that through the teaching of His Word, through one person speaking, everyone can receive a personal revelation from God. We have countless testimonies of this happening already. Students are peeling back so much of who they are so that the God of all reality can be their reality and together we can walk in that reality of GRACE, LOVE and UNITY. A huge thanks to Dave Sharman, our Director, who has been teaching from the book of Ephesians this week - mate! God has used you mightily!
I guess the other big news this week is that Keith Walters, the former student who designed the i58 website is coming here to upgrade the website. He only has a few days to spend with us but we hope he will not only achieve his goal but also enjoy some good hang out time with all the new students!! Thanks Keith for your amazing gift to us - and for flying in all the way from Texas!!
Last Sunday was our first SN@C of the new season and it went off with real passion as the team introduced the new students, played some crazy games and led us into a great message of GRACE. This combined with great worship meant that everyone there was well and truly fed and went home blessed! That's the way we like it. Thanks to all the local community who support us and be part of this amazing time together!
This week the theme of the SN@C is 'gossip' and it is viewed from the context of community - looking at what builds it and what tears it down. What an awesome reminder to all of us about our responsibility, not just to ourselves but to the wider community for the building up of the body of Christ - can't wait to see their presentation. If you can, come and join us and, as we say each week, BRING A FRIEND!
Well, it may be Friday, but there's so much to look forward to this weekend. Tomorrow night we are taking a bus load of people to Hillsong to hear their evening service and, as usual, enjoy a meal at Mackers on the way home! Some of the students are going into MacArthur to watch a movie and do some shopping. Oh, and tonight, I have a bunch of guys coming over for a dinner. Tim, our Greek Masterchef and I have come up with a menu and this arvo we'll be putting it all together. Love it!!
So, as I close, I wish you all a GREAT weekend and hope to hear from some of you either in the comments or on our i58 page on facebook! Why not check out our new photos!!!
God bless,
STEVE aka WOODSEY
