Wentworthville Cooking Class
July 19 2016 On Tuesday night, July 19th Wentworthville Church held another cooking class in Wentworthville Community Centre, and the theme was, “Boosting the Immune System, the Vegetarian Way.” We had over 20 people from the public attend our class which was great. Susan Lausevic did the health lecture, talking about the immune system and the various symptoms that are seen that tell us our immune system is either down or not running properly. She shared that when thinking about…
Sacred Musical Concert – Queensland
From My Heart – Clayfield – 10 July 2016 Only two weeks? How did we end up with only two weeks to plan a concert, practice and organise everything that we would need? But two weeks was all we had. Missionary school was fast approaching and with so many other things to think about, the concert had slowly crept up on us. But with God’s help and a herculean effort from everyone, a concert came together which ended up being…
Church Building Project – Kalkallo, Victoria
The moment has finally arrived! We have started the building of another church in Melbourne. It has taken quite a few years, and many prayers, to come to this point, but once we received the green light to proceed there was no delaying. On the 6th July 2016 we gathered at the building site for special prayers for this project, to ask for God’s blessing and guidance. The ground has been prepared for the foundation. This was not an easy…

It must have been quite heavy, and it was interesting to watch…

Update on Fiji Appeal
Cyclone Winston – 20 February 2016 In the February e-newsletter of the Good Tidings, we posted an appeal for Fiji. We asked for your prayers and also financial support for our brethren who suffered much after Cyclone Winston left the islands of Fiji extensively damaged. During that time, sadly, one brother was killed and his wife suffered great injuries, whilst many others were left homeless. Many villages were totally destroyed by the winds and floods. The amount we needed to…

The Christian’s Experience “God offers us seven means for transforming us into His likeness: prayer, faith, the study of His word, the gospel of health, Christian education, sacrifice, and Christian service. He expects us to use these means, and He sends His spirit and angels to guide us in doing so. He will not use these means for us; that is our part. As we use these means we are not trying to ‘save ourselves by works,’ because every effort…
Despise Not Small Beginnings
Despise Not Small Beginnings The worldly are chasing the easy return. Most dream of quick success – but few put in the effort proportionate to the reward. In this world, those who capitalise upon the dreams and desires of those seeking quick fortunes, make fortunes. Yet, in the game of life, only those who diligently apply the rules in sweat and tears will reap the reward. There is no deception here. You can play truant from school. You can take…
Erratum
Our apologies for the misspelt name in the last issue of Good Tidings e-newsletter, in the section “Outreach in South Australia”. The name of Alecia Thiel should have been ‘Alyssia Thiel’.
