The Call 2012
If you've ever wondered what it means to be 'called' to mission
this conference is for you. Hosted by a collective of missionminded ministries and organizations. This conference is designed
to help you investigate the call to God's mission here in New
Zealand and overseas. With workshops and speakers, this
conference is interactive, highly relational, practical and
entertaining. August 30-September 1 in Auckland. See
www.destinationworld.net/thecall for full details."
Please pray this week…
†For Andrew as he takes on the responsibilities of our Senior
Pastor.
† That more people would use their skills and talents in all our
ministry areas.
† That God will show us clearly who our 4th Elder should be.
† For healing for those in need.
† For an increasing openness to the Holy Spirit.
† What I am going to do differently this week...

from our leadership
team this week…
The mainly music team consists of
Maree Chivers, Robyn Dalziell,
Cindy Davidson, Vanessa Fraser,
Juliet Maude, Leah Mercer and
Yvette Verhoeven.
Last Saturday five of the team
travelled to Palmerston North for a
mainly music conference. Maree
led a workshop “ Mid-week Sunday
School” modelled on our Rainbow
Rock.
I was on a panel for
“Alternative Church Ideas” sharing
about the services we have had
targeting our mainly music
families. Conference is a great
time to be refreshed, encouraged,
gathering
new
ideas
and
connecting with others involved in
mainly music. We had a session on
sharing our faith and how to go
deeper in conversation in response
to a comment made. Using what,
where, why, who and how
questions helps us to do this.
Often we come away from a
conversation and beat ourselves
up for not having said something.
I found the following quote from
conference helpful - “If you wait
for the ideal moment to bring up
spiritual matters to others, you’ll
probably never get around to it.
Be patient but also persistent.
Keep in mind that God can take
imperfect opportunities and use
them for his perfect purposes.”
