Special Announcements

We have been blessed with many ‘only God’ moments through 2012.  God’s activity in our midst has continued, and over the next couple of Sundays we will be sharing some exciting news about the vision of Newlife moving into 2012.  I will be sharing this information at Robina morning services this Sunday and at 12two next Sunday (November 13).  Melissa will be sharing the same information at Pacific Pines on November 13.

All which we share will also be communicated in a letter to all who call Newlife home.  This letter will be available at all services on November 13.

Baptism Opportunity

On Sunday November 20 we will be celebrating Thanksgiving Sunday as we look back over the last year and honor God for all he has done in our midst.  As part of our celebrations we would like to offer the opportunity for people to celebrate new or new found faith through baptism or reaffirmation of baptism at our Robina services (8.30am, 10.15am and 6pm).  If you would like to find out more, please contact:

Stu (stu.cameron@newlife.unitingchurch.org.au)
Melissa (melissa.lipsett@newlife.unitingchurch.org.au) or
Ralph (ralph.mayhew@newlife.unitingchurch.org.au).

This Sunday @ Newlife

This Sunday morning at Robina (8.30am and 10.15am) Stu will continue our exploration of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (Ephesians 5:15-20) as we reflects on how we can make the most of every opportunity.  We will also be celebrating Holy Communion.

At Pac Pines (9.30am) Orrell will finish his series reflecting on the radical hospitality and welcome of Jesus.

At 12two (6pm), Ralph will challenge us to take up the Weapons of our Warfare – our spiritual gifts – as we engage in spiritual battle.

Free Families Sausage Sizzle

If you are a parent with young kids, we invite you to stay back after our 10.15am service at Robina for a free sausage sizzle near the courtyard playground.  Of course coffee and tea will still be available in the courtyard and our wonderful café, Coffee @ Newlife, will still be serving wonderful light meals.

Prayer Points

Every week we want to provide you with some prayer points to help guide you as we partner together in bringing our thanks, praise, adoration and requests to God.

• We thank God for the spiritually curious people God is bringing to Newlife at Pac Pines, Robina and 12two.  We pray they will find answers to their questions through us.
• We thank God for the fantastic opportunity we have to serve people with disabilities in our community through Crossroads.  We pray for Kerry Lumb and Aland Banks as they lead the Helensvale and Robina Crossroads communities.
• We pray for our FUEL youth outreach at Pacific Pines this Friday night.  We pray for young people in the area to be drawn to the event and for all who will host it, especially Ralph as he leads.
• We pray for all worship services this weekend – Crossroads, Youthstreet, Pac Pines, Robina and 12two – that all that happens in each would glorify God and draw people to Him.
