Delivered from sin (Announcements for 10 July)
Hi Everyone,
On Wednesday Jonathan Bartlett taught from Romans 8 which gives a wonderful description of the benefits of justification – Christ’s death frees us from the guilt of and the power of sin. And in sanctification, those who are redeemed walk according to the Spirit.
VBS is only five weeks away! The theme this year is Space Probe, and the mission for the student “astronauts” will be to seek out the Lord of the Universe. The VBS material will especially feature Genesis, chapters 1 to 9. We still need volunteers. Please speak to Julie Lemen or Joy Loh if you are able to help.
Sincerely,
Elder Lemen
