Dear Border Church Family, 

This week we are in our regular venue at the CWA Hall at 169 Griffith Street, Coolangatta (next to the Pink Hotel). Parking is available on Griffith and Boundary streets and Marine Pde. There is also parking under or next to Twin Towns if it is really busy on the street. 

Happy New Year! If 2022 is anything to go by, 2023 is going to be super exciting as we watch God work among us. I hope you are ready to go, go, go into all the world this year, making disciples!

I recorded a New Year message last weekend if you would like to watch it here:

Border Church this week

This week we will be introducing our new Discipleship push for the year. We are going to go through three different curricula on becoming Disciple-Making Disciples. We are going to jump right into it and we will need to start on time, so please aim to be there at 10:30am NSW, 9:30am QLD. As it is still holidays for many, I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to get a park. 

Our main study will conclude our miniseries on John 3:16 with the study, "Everlasting Life". This has been a very good series to share and I have shared with seekers who have been very blessed by it. 

We always have a healthy vegetarian fellowship lunch after Church. This week we will be having Indian themed food and all are welcome to join us. We look forward to spending this family time with you. 

Starting next week

Starting next week we will be beginning a new series called Prayers of Power, going through significant prayers in the Bible and teaching how we can pray better. Looking forward to this new series where we will explore prayers of Jesus, Paul, Daniel, Moses, Miriam, Hannah, David, Solomon and many, many more. 

News

Our next vision team meeting at 2pm (NSW time) on Sunday, January 22 at 179 Botanical Circuit, Banora Point. 

Our next social Sunday Funday is tentatively planned for Sunday January 29. More details to come in the next couple of weeks. 

Regular programing

If you or anyone you know would like to start a Discovery Bible Reading group, we would be happy to equip and support you in this. We will be teaching how to do these from this week. It really is very simple. 

We run I AM small groups on a regular basis and if you would like help hosting one for your friends or loved ones to discover Jesus, please let us know. 

Prayer meetings are on Wednesdays at 2:30pm QLD/3:30pm NSW at 179 Botanical Circuit, Banora Point. Please message me or speak to Lorraine if you have any prayer requests we can add to our list. You can join this prayer meeting through zoom with the link - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81584149095. All are welcome to join as we pray for our community and upcoming projects. 

You can contribute towards our community outreach in our tithes and offerings box or online through various options on our website at https://border.church/give 

If you would like to give to our building upgrade fund, please mark your offering for this purpose. We will be sharing in some of the costs of upgrading the CWA hall so that we can have some dedicated storage for Border Church as well as insulation to reduce some of the noise and echo in the hall. 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at 9:30am QLD and 10:30am NSW. 

Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina and Victor + Bump.
