March 2020 - Toongabbie Baptist Church

Sunday 29th March

Welcome to this Sunday’s Church Service Online. Below you will find the various components of the service designed for you to go through from top-to-bottom. This is the preferred way to view the service, as there are some text elements that won’t be present on the YouTube Playlist. However, if you would prefer to use the YouTube playlist instead (where each video plays straight after each other in the correct order), then please click the link below:

We pray that you will be blessed as you as individuals, or families, participate in this service together. And please remember to comment on the service on our Facebook page, so that together we may encourage one another.

Welcome

Kids Church Online

For our Kids Church program during this period, we are using a series of great programs from Life.Church. The age ranges are there as a guide, but I encourage you to see which one your kids connect with best, and utilise that each week. The links are for YouTube Playlists, which will be updated each week by Life.Church (and the previous weeks will remain in the playlist). So when you go to the link, click on the one for the correct week.

Colin Buchanan, in conjunction with Compassion, has also created some talks and other resources that will be released each week on the Compassion website. These includes a kids story, songs, and colouring-in sheets.

Check out the Colin Buchanan Talks and Resources here.

Message: Dare to Hope

Each week we encourage you to read the passage before you watch the message. Please remember to pray that God will speak to you through the message.

Bible Reading: Lamentations 3:1-32

Offering

As followers of Jesus, we are firm believers that God has blessed us greatly, and as one of our many acts of worship, we are called to give back to him and his work in this world through offering a portion of our finances. We take our view from passages such as 2 Corinthians 9:7, which proclaims, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (NIV).

If you normally give through the weekly offering in our services, please consider giving online. Instructions can be found here: http://toongabbiebaptist.org.au/general-support/

See you next week!

CHURCH SERVICES ARE BACK ON SITE IN THE MORNING AT 10AM & IN THE EVENING AT 5:30PM.

After the announcement from NSW Government with a significant change of restrictions for Places of Worship, we have opened our bookings to now allow 100 people each week (including children).

Face masks are mandatory, singing is still not allowed by congregational members, and if you are feeling unwell then you need to stay at home.

As has been happening recently, we will continue to run one Kids Church program for the entire morning service, and this will continue to be evaluated as to whether we need to open up further groups.

At this stage the booking system will remain in place for both services, and names will continue to be marked off each week in line with current requirements. With more people able to attend, we ask for your continued patience each week as your name is marked off in the foyer before continuing into the auditorium.

it is mandatory that we should also check in using the QR code we enter the church premises.
