Thought: Celebration Of Church Anniversaries
Our Indian brethren celebrated their church Anniversaries in July (Jayam, Kirubai and Visuvasam).
Thank God for record attendance at these Anniversary Services. Each Church had between 150-250 people attending! Let us rejoice with our brethren in their hour of joy. The churches are growing well!
BETHEL IPC
Bethel will be celebrating its 16th Anniversary on 10 September 2010. They extend a cordial invitation to all at Bethany to attend their Anniversary celebrations.
Theme: A Holy People
This theme is chosen to remind all that we are "holy" and set apart for the Lord. This theme is drawn from Deuteronomy.
"For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth."
Deuteronomy 7:6
If you are planning to go Perth for this occasion, please plan to book your airline ticket and hotel early. This is the School vacation week!

POETRY CORNER |
THE FUTURE
I know not what the future holds,
No, not one single hour.
But I know One who knoweth well,
And has it in His power.
The universe is all His own
For all eternity
He fashioned all His laws in love,
By grace He shares with me.Now He who lay the future holds
Knows what will be today,
So I can place my hand in His
And walk with Him, His way.
The things confronting all the world
Are dark as blackest night;
Yet in Christ who is the way
There is a shining light.I thank my God that by His grace
There is no need to fear,
For, howsoever dark the way,
My Lord is always near.
Because I trusted in the Blood
Poured out on Calvary,
In Him my future is secure
For all eternity.Edward Cane
