Hi Everyone!

Its awesome to know you have been returning to visit the connect group blog.

Guess what, you dont have to wait for me to roster someone to share :o) When God reveals something to you during your devotion or anything at all that you learn during the week, feel free to write an entry!

Some updates:

Connect group will be run base on suburbs & we are commencing a Justice project where our young adults will be involve in serving our community every once a month - ie. cleaning or renovating a single mum's home.

It will be Pastor Jason & Kym's second last week in church as they prepare to head off to Bristol. Do keep them in your prayers.

Pastor Jonathan has invited the church to pray and fast with him for 21 days as God leads us into a new season. This is the 2nd week where we meet up at 7.30am on Sunday morning to pray.

I strongly encourage you to be purposeful & prayerful as we draw near to the end of the year as to what God has to say to you for 2008.

Its going to be a really exciting season in the life of the church & as daughters of the House, lets be involved & align ourselves with what God is saying. Lets seek His heart for 2008. I know as God speaks to our leaders, often He will be speaking the same things to us if & when we seek Him. Lets not wait till we step into the new year & when face with circumstances than we decide what our priorities, where our commitments will be. Instead, lets move forward with vision, asking that God open our spiritual eyes to see! Lets decide that next year we will be committed on the journey, passionate about our King, laying down our own desires, own needs & want, trusting in Him & moving forward as young adults of the church.

So do pray, & better still, begin & end the year with a fast as a sign of surrendering your life to HIs leading.

And when God gives you a word, a direction or anything at all for next year, share it with the rest of us. Nothing is too short, too small, or too long winded to share!

Keep praying for our leaders & church as we step into what is the most significant & huge transistion of church life.

Come back expectant, refreshed & ready to be stretched & enlarged!

Keeping you gals in prayer.

Love,
Winnie
