St Barnabas Minister |
Hi, I'm Mike Russell, (mike@stgeorgesmagill.org) the minister of St. Barnabas church at Firle. We've got some exciting changes coming up in the next couple of months, and I'd love to tell you about them and invite you to join us.
We are planning the launch of a new style church on the 1st of June. The intention under God is as follows:
We'll have a number of Swahili songs, led by our Burundian families, as well as some in English. There will be translations of the Swahili songs written down, so we know what we are singing.
The Swahili will be led by some of the 20 Burundian friends who are joining our congregation in May - I expect this will make quite a difference to the feel of church!
We will also have a kids talk each week, before the kids go out to Sunday school.
Though there will be some change, we won't give away what is central - the reading and teaching of God's word, the bible; the trust in Jesus who died as a sacrifice in our place to take away our sins; the meeting regularly, encouraging each other to love and good deeds, while waiting for his return.
Hope to see you Sundays at 10am.

Last but not least - meet Kathryn our Treasurer.
