NZ church building repairs needed As time goes by, buildings need to be repaired and maintained in order to continue their usage. Our centre in Auckland is no different; the time has come that many things need to be fixed or replaced on the building. Due to a small membership there, funds are very limited, so we ask if you can please find it in your heart to join the Australasian Union Conference (AUC) and donate towards the church renovations;…

Now I’m 80 To-day Dear Lord I’m 80, and so much I haven’t done, I hope Dear Lord you’ll let me live till I am 81; But if I haven’t finished all…

Foods That Heal The theme for the cooking class was “Foods That Heal”. Advertising was done via door knocking, flyers and Facebook, and we were blessed with a good number of visitors. Jason Williams presented a short talk on the theme of the class, and one of the things we learned was about purple-coloured fruit and vegies. “Anthocyanins are flavonoids in fruits and vegetables that render them vivid red to blue. It has been suggested that anthocyanins possess anti-inflammatory and…

May 14th 2016 Guildford Church members decided to run a visitor’s day at church on this particular Sabbath. Invitations were printed, and visitors’ packs were made. The choir prepared 3 special hymns for the day, and members and friends invited various contacts to come along and fellowship with us. After a very interactive adult Sabbath School lesson where we enjoyed discussing on the topic Incarnation of Christ, the Youth Explorer class presented a special praise item entitled, “My Tribute” together…

God is always in control! “Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city” – Psalm 31:21. This psalm proclaims a personal truth for me, for God has surely revealed his marvellous kindness in my life! This is what the Lord has done for me. Just over two months ago I began experiencing severe and seemingly unexplainable abdominal pains. I had experienced similar pains prior, however they were never as prominent or recurring…

WE LOVE TO SING HYMNS – 7 May 2016 Our little church here in Adelaide love to sing hymns and approximately once every two months (sometimes more often) we present a small selection of hymns to various Nursing Homes in and around Adelaide. Last Sabbath was no exception, and the residents were very happy by the look of ecstasy on one old man’s face as he lay back in his ‘comfy chair’. It has been a struggle, but we are…

We extend our condolences to the family of Brother Keith Durham. May God comfort each one of you. “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” Revelation 14:13. “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as…

I … take you … to be my lawfully wedded (husband/wife), to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. These days, vows repeated at weddings seem to have lost their meaning. Marriage today is becoming an option which many couples choose not to pursue. Vowing to live with someone “‘till death do us part” is a huge commitment which many are not…
