We Are God’s People!

· ·

We are a community, though not like other community groups; We are God’s people!

Because of this, we are joining together as a church today to seek God in prayer for the future direction and provision for us here at Highfields Church of Christ.  Each hour someone among us is praying today.  We had groups praying before and after our service, seeking God’s voice for us.  These are some of the words God spoke to us today;

“I am fanning the flame,

I am fanning the flame,

The church nearly died at a time,

It was smouldering for a time,

But now, I am fanning the flame.”

Passover Meal Evening

· ·

Thank you everyone who came and shared a special evening with us on Easter Thursday for our Passover Meal Evening.  Some worked all day to prepare for the evening, and it turned out great with a full house!  Chris lead us with a Passover liturgy, where we partook in certain rituals to remember the original Passover of the Israelites, and of course the new meaning we take in this meal now as Christians, in remembering Jesus’ sacrifice.  The food was great, particularly the lamb on the spit!  It was really something special, and a lot of fun to have everyone together for such an occasion.

Barnabas Aid

· ·

From this Sunday, The SAFE HAVENS FOR CHRISTIANS petition can be located at the back of the hall.
It would be a blessing to our Christian families overseas if we can get as many signatures as possible.

Part wording from the petition…….
“With the Iraqi Christians now urgently fleeing the killing fields of Islamic State territory. We call upon our political leaders to welcome them and aid their escape from terror, torture and killing….
to work with governments in the Middle East to provide and support secure areas for displaced Christian communities that have fled violence and persecution”

They are requiring humanitarian visas for Internally Displaced Christians from Iraq & Syria who will never be able to return/resettle in their own villages.

Donations can also be made: $84 to provide a week’s food for a newly arrived family in Poland; $210 will help cover accommodation in Lebanon for a family en route to safety.

We can only imagine ourselves in the same situation.

Please sign the petition to show your support.

Thank you.
