God is Able!

Last Sunday morning we prayed with Paul the prayer he originally prayed for the church in Ephesus (Ephesians 3:16-21).  It is a prayer full of faith and expectation.  Can we really pray with such confidence?  You can listen to or read my message here as I explore one of the greatest prayers ever offered: www.stucameron.typepad.com/

Do you have a Prayer Request?

Building on the theme of last week’s message, you may have a prayer request that you would like our faithful company of prayer ‘warriors’ to lift up to God on your behalf. It may be for you, or a member of your family or for another situation or reason entirely.  If you would like the Newlife family to pray with and for you, just email your request through to Val Harvey  http://val@12gabriels.com or Liz McNamee, http://liz.mcnamee@newlife.unitingchurch.org.au

This Sunday - Walk Across the Room

This Sunday morning we pause our Ephesians series as we begin a four-week series called Walk Across the Room, focussing on the gospel imperative to share our faith with others.  I (Stu) will be speaking at all morning services (7.30am, 9am, 10.45am) and speaking again at 12two (6pm) on a similar theme as we continue our ‘Undercover Jesus’ theme with our young adult community.

Pac Pines Preview

As Orrell would say, it is now only three sleeps!  The countdown to the launch of our Pac Pines campus continues with a Preview Service being held this Sunday, August 14 at 9.30am at Jubilee School.  You are invited to attend!

Orrell will be preaching, the Newlife worship team will be leading and a Kidzlife crew will provide ministry to children.  The purpose of our ‘preview’ services is to provide us the opportunity to get used to our new facilities before our public launch on October 2. 

Jubilee school is at Binstead Way, Pacific Pines which comes off exit 62 on the Pacific Highway.  Here is a link to Google Maps for the school from which you can get directions: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?q=jubilee+school+gaven&hl=en&cid=4850651239744944431

Imago Dei – Living into the Image of God

Our very popular Winter School continues, with Science and Faith wrapping up its four-week season last week and Alpha rolling along well.  We have another very exciting Winter School option that will run over two Saturday afternoons soon. Graham Leo will be addressing the vital topic of what it means to be formed by the truth that we are image-bearers of God.  Two, three-hour sessions will run on Saturday August 27 and Saturday September 3, running from 2.30pm to 5.30pm each day.  Registration can be made at the Info Desk this Sunday or in the office during the week.  The fee is $30.
