Our daily bread... our daily prayer
Our journey through the Lord's Prayer continues this Sunday, and what a wonderful journey it has been already!! We are hearing testimony after testimony about how each week is helping us discover the riches of the Lord's Prayer in new and empowering ways.
If you missed last week's messages (or forgot to take notes), we have included an overview of Josh's points from the morning. And a short 'What does it mean when we pray "give us this day our daily bread"?' summary video from Kevin DeYoung (who has a great book on the Lord's Prayer!). May these continue to deepen your prayer life.
Ministry Highlight: Playgroup reunion
Last weekend we held a Playgroup reunion for those who attended Playgroup between 1985 and 1993. Considering the passage of time, it is clear how significant the friendship, community and memories made that were fostered through Playgroup are. It reminds us too, of what a beautiful and genuine ministry our Playgroup continues to be. Playgroup facilitates a space for connection, support and fun together for Mums, Dads, kids and grandparents from both our church and broader community. Below are a few photos taken from last week's reunion.
Please be in prayer over our Playgroup ministry and outreach as our current Playgroup resumes for Term 3 this coming Wednesday. Visit https://www.nvbc.info/playgroup for more info if interested in coming along.
Term 3 kingdom kids
Kingdom kids is back from this Sunday! We cant wait to get into term 3 and explore the amazing work that Jesus did during his time on earth. Our children will be starting from when Jesus was just a boy and the ways he led his people from such a young age, then following his journey and all the amazing miracles and messages he gave. It's going to be a great Term!
Please pray for our wonderful team of Kingdom Kids leaders, and for the encouragement of our children's faith through this term's programs. If you would to explore joining leading our children in faith, get in touch with Sarah as we would love you to be part of this amazing team.
