Story of the Week

A story received from a Kids Hope Aus. Mentor/Coordinator

The Value of Friendship

Following Jesus, Fishing for people Come follow me and I’ll teach you to fish for people, “Jesus” Following Jesus and fishing for people may be hard, but it shouldn’t be complicated. Over a few sessions we’ll teach you how to connect with people who are far from God. You’ll learn how to share your story and the Gospel Story in a contagious way. You’ll learn how to make disciples using a simple method of discovery bible study. We’ll cover the basics of forming new disciples into new groups and new churches that reproduce. You’ll catch a vision for multiplying new disciples, new groups and new churches. Everywhere. If you want to learn, and turn learning into action, we’ll do our best to provide further training, coaching and peer support. For more information come to a lunch meeting on Sunday 17 March and hear Steve Addison speak on the training he will be providing.

Recently in Ruby's time with her mentor Sandra, Ruby started telling Sandra that her family was planning on moving away. She shared about her thoughts of starting a new school and living in a new place. Then all of a sudden, Ruby turned to Sandra and said "You can move too! Then I'll still get to see you!". She then asked for Sandra's phone number so that she could still talk to her every Tuesday. This made Sandra smile and realise just how much Ruby values their time together.

Please contact the church office on 03 5334 1882 or email admin@churchone2one.org.auif interested in becoming a mentor.

Auditorium Please help us to care for our facilities by checking that the area around you is tidy at the end of each service. Please take home your Intouch and any drawings or notes. This is greatly appreciated, so the auditorium can be left clean for the next service. Thank you.

Newsletter on Website The Monthly Intouch can now be viewed on the one2one website (www.churchone2one.org.au). All personal details such as phone numbers, addresses and emails will be removed before uploading. When placing an ad for the Intouch please notify the office if there is anything else that you don’t want to go onto the website. Any further queries, contact the church office.

You’ve Got Mail! Please remember to check the pigeon holes in the foyer for mail, notes, rosters etc. The pigeon holes are located against the wall that adjoins the auditorium. The office, and attendees of our church can use these pigeon holes to pass mail or messages to each other. The pigeon holes are alphabetically labelled, so everybody please check the pigeon hole that corresponds with the first letter of your last name. Collecting your mail this way saves postage for the church office.

Lost Property Lost property items can be found at the bottom right hand corner of the pigeon holes in the foyer including Bibles, clothes, drink bottles, toys, glasses, etc. Anything of value such as jewellery will be kept in the office. If you have lost something, please have a look through the lost property in the foyer or drop into the church office during business hours.
