This week we continue our new series on the book of Hebrews - He Brews a Better Cup. This week we will examine the structure of the book and the first chapter with a message - A Better Son. How does Jesus compare with the angels? The book of Hebrews starts off with some of the most beautiful language in the whole Bible elevating Jesus as God's truest Son.
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
This week Border Youth is on at Tweed Heads Anglican (St Cuthbert's), located at the corner of Florence and Powell Streets. Due to the wet weatherare going to have some indoor games including "Would You Rather?". We are also going to start planning a musical adaptation of the novella, "The Other Wise Man" to hopefully perform in time for Christmas.

Bible Discovery Groups
For 2026, 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 10am.
Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina, Victor and Erina
