Is he: alive? just one religion among many? pro life? anti-gay? a narcissist?
How about this: is Jesus beyond fiction?

Gospel for the Gong is holding an event to help you find out

Women's Katoomba Convention 2012

30th September 2012 by Correne Gjaltema
Women's Katoomba Convention 2012

FUELLED BY DESIRE

Earlier this month several of our ladies attended the yearly Women's Katoomba Convention. It was a great weekend away of fellowship with other Christian women and hearing from God's word. Here is an overview of the talks:

  • Make God your ally – face the sin in your life. We don't know what tomorrow will bring but we do know that God desires to bless all of us, no matter what we have done; any sin small or large, or how we feel. This desire is unquenched and shows grace and unreserved kindness
  • We cannot enter heaven on our own merit, we need forgiveness and purification. God desires that we are thankful. God desires acceptable worship with reverence and awe.

African Dinner Night

19th August 2012 by Correne Gjaltema
African Dinner Night

25th August, 6pm at the church
Over the years our church family has helped and supported refugee families from different parts of the World. Currently it is our privilege and joy to have the Afangbedzi and Follybebe families with us from Africa - Togo. Not many of us know what life in Togo is like. Not many of us know what life in a Refugee Camp is like. So to help us HG 10 is organising an African Evening with the help of the Afangbedzi family. We will eat African food the African way (get your fingers ready) and we will learn about life in a Refugee Camp and hope to raise money to help children in the Krisan Refugee Camp. Please come along it should be a great evening!
