Dear Border Church Family,
This week we will be having Church in our regular venue at the 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 we continue our new series, Tiptoe Through the T.U.L.I.P. exploring the teachings of Calvinism: Sovereignty, Predestination & Election. TULIP is the acronym for the five points of Calivinism. This week we will look at the "L" of TULIP - "Limited Atonement". Who did Jesus die for? Was Jesus' sacrifice able to cover all who sinned or just a limited number? Can love be limited? We will look at these questions and more.
Kids/Youth Church will be running for the time that the service is on, directly after the worship.
We always have a healthy plant-based fellowship lunch after Church. This week we are having Indian-themed cuisine. 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
This Weekend
Border Youth is on tonight - 5:30-7:30pm (NSW Time). We are again playing Halfcourt games. We will also be having a Q&A session during our Bible time. Bring your deep and probing questions.

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.
Other worship opportunities
We run Alpha small groups on a regular basis and if you would like help hosting one for your friends or loved ones to discover Jesus and the basics of the Bible, please let us know.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at 9:30am (QLD) or 10:30am (NSW).
Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina, Victor and Erina
