Dear Border Church Family,
This week we will be having Church in our regular venue atthe QCWA Hall at 169 Griffith Street, Coolangatta. Parking can be found on Griffith and Boundary Streets as well as on Marine Parade. For shaded parking you can park under Twin Towns. We will be meeting at 9:30am QLD/10:30am NSW and look forward to spending time with you.
Border Church this Week
This week God has put a message on my heart to "Pray for No Rain". This seems to run counter-intuitive to what we WANT to happen and what we THINK the world needs - an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We will explore this idea through the pages of the Bible and learn more about our God of paradox.
We always have a healthy vegetarian fellowship lunch after Church. We will be having Italian-themed lunch this week. We would love you to join us for this time of fellowship. Our lunch schedule can be found here - https://border.church/pages/church-luncheons-roster
Bible Discovery Groups
For 2024, make it a resolution to begin or to join at least one Discovery Bible Reading Group. They are super simple to do and a great way to learn in community with others, especially those new to the Bible. You can get something out of this no matter what level you are at. We would love to show you how to lead one of these groups simply. Please let us know if you would like to start one.
