Free Families Sausage Sizzle

What a wonderful opportunity we have every Sunday not only to worship God, but also to enjoy fellowship together.  Our courtyard is an incredible gift, so is our café as over coffee and tea we get to share life with one another.

A new initiative we will start this Sunday is to hold a free sausage sizzle immediately following the 10.15 service at Robina.  Of course coffee and tea will still be available and, and our wonderful café, Coffee @ Newlife will still be serving wonderful light meals.

GLS – Register Now!

This Friday and Saturday more than 250 leaders from around the Gold Coast will be gathering at Newlife for the Global Leadership Summit (GLS).  As I write, we still have a handful of subsidized registrations available - $70, or $60 for students and concession.  Call the office straight away (5578 9322) if you would like to register.

Critical Need

We have a critical need that has arisen out of God-breathed growth.  Every Sunday morning at Robina we have the amazing privilege of welcoming 150 children and young people to worship at Robina.  We desperately need more people to assist on our crèche and Kidzlife rosters.  Without more leaders the quality of our care for our young people will be compromised.  If you can help out on the crèche roster, please contact Sue Cameron (suecameron1966@hotmail.com).  If you can hell with Kidzlife, please email Viv Batt (viv.batt@newlife.unitingchurch.org.au)

Sermons Back On-line!

Great news, we have finally sorted out the technical issues we were having with our podcasts and all our messages from the last few weeks are now online and available free.  So, messages from Karen Wilson Peter Pollock and our morning series at Robina (How then shall we live) are available at www.stucameron.typepad.com/

This Sunday

At Robina on Sunday morning (8.30am and 10.15am) Melissa will continue our journey into Ephesians as we explore what it means to live as children of the light.

At Pacific Pines (9.30am) Orrell will continue to explore some of the encounter Jesus had with people over a meal, as recorded in Luke’s gospel.  As we do every week at Pacific Pines, we will celebrate Holy Communion together.

At 12two (Robina – 6pm), Ralph will continue our Weapons of our Warfare series, exploring the wonderful gifts of prophecy, words of knowledge and encouragement.

Food Still Needed!

We have had a wonderful response to our request for food to restock the Newlife care Food pantry.   Thank you!   Having said this, our need still remains.

Newlife Care does an amazing job distributing food to families in our community who are doing it tough.  Our emergency food pantry is still running short of some non-perishable goods, in particular long life milk, canned spaghetti, baked beans, canned vegies, coffee, 2-minute noodles, rice, and canned meat. If you have spare room in your trolley, we would really appreciate your support. Please contact Con Graves on 5593 3262 or drop into the office during the week.  You can bring food on Sunday and leave it in especially provided baskets in the church foyer.

Prayer Points

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

• We thank God for the fantastic night at Youthstreet last Friday night as grade sevens had their first taste of our youth ministry.  Please pray for these young people as they transition into Youthstreet.  Please pray for the combined youth outreach this Friday night, SMASH!
• We thank God for the wonderful start that our Pacific Pines campus has enjoyed.  We ask God to raise up and for us to identify people who are willing to serve as musicians, sound operators and as other members of the Pac Pines team.
• We thank God for the privilege of hosting the Global Leadership Summit.  We pray for Craig Hindman, Lyndal Mayhew and Elizabeth Danes as they lead wonderful teams as we serve the wider church.  We pray that GLS will build and equip the church on the Gold Coast for more effective service.
• We pray for our local political leaders, for Councilor Jan Grew, for Ray Stevens (State) and Karen Andrews (Federal).
