Hi Table View Methodist Family,
I'm
writing from home today, working on my sermon while my daughter Emily
recovers from a fever she had yesterday. Isn't it amazing how quickly
some children get sick - and then all better again in a few hours :)
I'm sure she send you all her love.Thank you for participating in the nomination and election of our society stewards last week. We will induct our stewards this coming Sunday at their respective services:
Is
there some small / big way in which you can serve? Help out with
counting after the service, do some handy work for the church, help to
cater for special events? Read the scriptures? Lead our intercessory
prayers? Consider these opportunities to help us.
This Sunday
we will pray with our new society stewards as they take up their new
duties. We will also share communion. The scriptures for this coming Sunday are Genesis 17:1-16, Psalm 22:23-31, Romans 4:13-25 and Mark 8:31-38.
I spoke a little bit about Abraham last week, this week Genesis tells
us about Abraham's faith (at 99 years old) that God would give him a
child. Romans reminds us of the importance of 'trusting in God' for our
salvation. Jesus calls us to take up our cross and follow him.
Finances
Our
auditor, Wayne Van Schoor is busy auditing our Income / Ependiture
statements for 2014. As I look at our income and expenditure for 2015 I
note that we are falling behind a bit; our deficit at this point is
about R26,000 over the first two months.
Please
consider how you can support our church financially. We need about
R100,000 per month to get by (more would be better as it always is).


Baptism Certificates
We have a number of uncollected baptism certificates in the church office. Di will place them in the church foyer this Sunday: Maya Chinasamy, Riley Coleman, Daniel Ross Pape, Taylor, Cooper and Maiya Zeiler.
God bless,
I look forward to worshiping and sharing communion with you on Sunday at 8, 930 and 11am.
Gus
