Border News - 2023, Week 9
Dear Border Church Family,
This week we are in our regular venue at the CWA Hall at 169 Griffith Street, Coolangatta (next to the Pink Hotel). Parking is available on Griffith and Boundary streets and Marine Pde. There is also parking under or next to Twin Towns if it is really busy on the street.
Border Church this week
This week is an Acts 29 week. The book of Acts ends at chapter 28 but does not close the story. We are the continuation of the story of the book of Acts. Every first Saturday of the month we will hear a testimony from someone and learn how to give your own testimony. This month we are going to hear from our Executive Pastor, Janine Pye.
This week for our message we will be continuing our series on Prayers of Power: Unlocking Omnipotence by looking at prayer in Abraham as a father of intercessory prayer in the Scriptures. There is so much to unpack from Abraham.
We always have a healthy vegetarian fellowship lunch after Church. This week we will be having Indian food, so please feel free to stay and enjoy fellowship with us.
This Weekend
Tomorrow, Friday March 3 is the World Day of Prayer. There are several events you can join in with as part of this program. In the Tweed, there is a morning service at 10am NSW time at Kingscliff Anglican Church. For those wanting to go to the Southern Gold Coast event, it is going to be at Living Temple Church at Tugun and 9:30am QLD time. I will be at the Tugun event.
We will be again joining King Jesus in the evening as they have a combined Churches prayer and praise meeting at the Tugun Community Centre at 6:30pm this Friday.
This Sunday afternoon, March 5 at 2:30pm QLD/3:30pm NSW, we will be having a vision team meeting to discuss the next few months. If you would like to join us for this we will be hosting out our new residence in Banora Point. The address is available on request - 0421074460. We will be having refreshments afterwards.

If you would like to give to our building upgrade fund, please mark your offering for this purpose. We will be sharing in some of the costs of upgrading the CWA hall so that we can have some dedicated storage for Border Church as well as insulation to reduce some of the noise and echo in the hall.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at 9:30am QLD and 10:30am NSW.
Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina and Victor + Bump.
