Forgiveness is the theme!

In the morning we’ll be looking at the story of the woman who anointed Jesus with her tears and dried him with her hair.

In the evening we will look at the phrase from the Lord’s Prayer that deals with forgiveness from God and of others.

Easter Services

Just a reminder of the times and places for our Easter services this year:

9:30pm Thursday Night
Service of Communion and reflection at Simla Street
This is a time where we gather to be still, pray and prepare
ourselves to remember over the next few days what Jesus did for us.

9:30am Good Friday Morning
A service to give thanks for the sacrifice of Jesus

6:45am Dawn service on Easter Sunday
Join with others at Haliday park to watch the sunrise and reflect on what it means to have new life.

10:00am Easter Sunday Morning
An Easter celebration with our brothers and sisters from the Chin community. This will include communion and an infant dedication.

5:30pm Sunday night.
Meet at the church before heading off an outdoor worship service. The venue is likely to be Pound Bend, but we are still getting permission etc from the ranger. This was to be a baptism service, but our baptism candidates have decided to wait a few more weeks.

See you there!

Worship this Sunday

Somehow the people of Mitcham have drawn the short straw and have to endure a double header from me!

On Sunday morning we will begin a series looking at the letters of John in the New Testament. Some small books tucked away near the end of the Bible, but with some significant things for us to consider for our life and faith.

In the evening we continue looking at the Lord’s Prayer, this time looking at the phrase, “Your Kingdom come…”. This prayer that Jesus taught the disciples is incredibly powerful, but it is these three words that are perhaps the ones that have the biggest impact on the world. Quite amazing for just three words…

The morning service starts at 10:00am and the evening at 6:30pm. All are welcome.

This Sunday: Clean Up Australia Day

admin — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 02:00:38 +0000

This Sunday morning we will be having a shorter than normal gathering in the morning so we can serve our community by participating in the annual “Clean Up Australia Day”. The service will start at 10:00am as normal, but will be finished by 11:00am when we will put on our gloves, pick up our rubbish bags and clean up Mitcham Station and shops.

In the evening, we will continue our series on the Lord’s Prayer and focus on the phrase “hallowed by your name…”

See you there!

Sunday 24th February 2008

This Sunday morning, Hawley Thomas will be speaking about heaven. There is a rumour floating around suggesting that he chose this theme because he is closer to heaven than the rest of the church, but the truth is that Hawley tackled this topic a number of years ago and it made such an impact on the congregation of the time that he has had numerous requests to repeat it. For those of us who ~~weren’t born~~ weren’t around last time, it will be great to have such a misunderstood topic covered in some more detail.

On Sunday night we celebrate the baptism of three of our young people and at the same time, begin working our way through a series on the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew chapter six. If you’re a regular MBCer, please bring some supper to share with the visitors on the night.
