Fancy joining a health club? - for free! For the benefit of those who are fairly young in the faith (though not necessarily in age!) we are going to begin "body building" sessions! This has nothing to do with weights or steroids; rather it is for spiritual upbuilding. Ephesians 4 v. 12 speaks about "building up the body of Christ" and that the body of Christ "builds itself up in love." Spiritual growth is vital to the health of every Christian and for the whole congregation of which they are a part. The aim of these sessions will be to bring on in their Christian faith those who have recently begun to follow the Lord. Others more experienced are welcome to attend the sessions also and can use them as a kind of "refresher course". Topics covered will include - what it means to serve the Lord; getting the most from the Bible; prayer; the structure of the church; evangelism and mission; politics and social action; what it means to be a communicant; worship and witness.
Body Building Sessions
There will be links to the materials used in these sessions online through the website. This will benefit any who cannot be present at any session so that they do not miss out. The first session will be on Wednesday 1st September, after the Prayer Meeting in the hall at Garrabost. Thereafter the sessions will be held each week the Wednesday meeting is due to be held in the hall, so every fourth week or so.
