We guarantee you’ll have a great time. Whether your strengths are phy=
sical,
mental or spiritual, we have the game for you! Be the star of the show or an
unassuming team player, the choice is yours. Don’t miss it!

Parents
take note: a closely supervised ‘sleeping room’ will be
available J
At Chandler St,
Erik took us through the first chapter of 1st Thessalonians =
and
challenged us to stop and reflect. We can often slip into cruise =
mode
and flow with whatever life brings.&nb=
sp;
We easily forget to evaluate how we’re doing as a parent, a
spouse, a member of the Body of Christ, or as a testimony to those with=
out.
Occasionally we must take a bold lo=
ok
at our lives and be honest with ourselves about how we are growing. We need to keep focus on our
destination and make whatever changes are necessary to keep us on the r=
ight
track, as well us causing us to be an effective instrument of God’=
;s
will.
"Don't go with the flow. =
The
flow may be leading you down the sewer"

At Southside,
Pr. Bob Beverley gave a brief report of his recent visit to t=
he
Revival Fellowship in Te Puke, NZ. The fellowship is experiencing
wonderful revival among the seasonal workers from Vanuatu,
with approximately 40 Ni-Vans receiving the Holy Spirit, speaking in ot=
her
tongues.
Pr. Bob went on to speak from Acts 17 and how J=
esus
Christ and his resurrection from the dead was the fulfillment of the
promises God had made in the Old Testament - 'this Jesus has God rai=
sed
up - of which we are all witnesses'. Jesus came, just as was
prophesied, and rose from the dead, just as He said He would.
Our God does not dwell in temples made with hands -
through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit He can live inside the
temple of our body, which He has made. You can download the talk =

Sunday School: Let there=
be
Light!

The Chandler St Sunday School was buzzing with new
little voices this weekend. The
4 year olds have graduated from crèche and are now enthusiastic
members of the Sunday School class.&nb=
sp;
Over the next few weeks the little ones will learn about Creation
and Aunty Cheryl got the ball rolling with ‘light’. We’ve turned one of the =
rooms
into a ‘Creation Room’ and every week we’ll add a new
element of the Creation. =
The
kids had fun discovering the pitch black room this week and throwing on=
the
light!
Great food and fellowsh=
ip
was enjoyed by all at the annual Christmas in July dinner held at the
Southside hall on Saturday night. Highlights of the night were some qua=
lity
inspirational items from Jake, Joanne and Bridget, and Amy and Renee. T=
he
kids (and adults) also enjoyed the surprise visit from a very cuddly,
Christmassy, gift-giving polar bear... we understand from our sister Ti=
na
that the bear suit was a little bit WARM! Beware of Sam P. who is now the
proud owner of a rocket launcher, which somehow made its way into the g=
ift
box....
Thanks so much again to
Vicki, Paula and the rest of the Southside team for organising the night
and the wonderful festive decorations – it’s the little thi=
ngs
that make a difference!
