This week we conclude our lead up to Service September and our miniseries about Table Fellowship and soul-winning - "A Table has Four... LEGS". This week we discuss how to SHARE among our tables.
Kids/Youth Church will be running for the time that the service is on, directly after the worship.
We always have a healthy plant-based fellowship lunch after Church. This week we are having Burgers and Salads. We would love you to join us for this time of fellowship. Our lunch schedule can be found here - https://border.church/pages/church-luncheons-roster
After Church we are having a couple of our Youth get baptised down at Jack Evans. Please stay around and come down at 2:30pm to celebrate these decisions for Jesus and the Kingdom.
This Weekend
This week Border Youth is at our usual location at Tweed Presbyterian Church Hall from 5:30-7:30pm. This week we will be playing SPUD games and having Brinner.
Tech Fundraising Update
Thank you all for the donations to our tech upgrade. We took a leap of faith to purchase a projector that was within our specifications and saved a significant amount of money in doing so but we were still short $1000 so we still need to raise that money as we dipped into our general funds to complete the purchase in time for our Workshops. We are also raising money for audio upgrades and hope to have these complete by the time we finish our workshops. This comes to about another $5000. To donate to these improvements please specify the reason for the donation below.

Bible Discovery Groups
For 2025, make it a resolution to begin or to join at least one Discovery Bible Reading Group. They are super simple to do and a great way to learn in community with others, especially those new to the Bible. You can get something out of this no matter what level you are at. We would love to show you how to lead one of these groups simply. Please let us know if you would like to start one.
Other worship opportunities
We run Alpha small groups on a regular basis and if you would like help hosting one for your friends or loved ones to discover Jesus and the basics of the Bible, please let us know.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at 10am.
Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina, Victor and Erina
