Growth Groups 2012

Darren Box — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:00:21 +0000

Growth Groups are essential to our church. We take Jesus seriously as we study his word and learn to repent of ways that displease him and to be encouraged in ways to follow him.

A small growth group of 5-12 people is an ideal context to do this, as well as to get to know each other more personally.

The Lakes has a variety of Growth Groups including men’s groups, youth groups women’s groups daytime groups, night time groups, mixed groups, locality groups, workers groups…

We are sure to be able to make suggestions that suit your routine, but we hope you would make a Growth Group a high priority for your week.

Just contact the church office or leave a note on the welcome slip on Sunday if you would like us to help you find a Growth Group that is right for you.

BOBBS Men & Kids Weekend Away- Nov 4th-6th

Stewart — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:46:51 +0000

Men, its on again! The Annual BOBBS Weekend Away is at Tahlee, the same place it was held last year.

This year the speaker is Rev Richard Gibson.

The kids always have a great time (especially if they wear sunscreen, mossie repellent, wet shoes for wading, and have a spray jacket with them). There will also be a program for primary school aged girls and boys which will be split into two age groups. They will be swimming, fishing, group search activities, poking dead sharks with a stick…and lots of other things their mums would tell them not to do.

If you have not got your form into Scott Laidlaw (0425 263 515) or Michael Dickens (0437 686 444), please phone them and tell them when and how you are planning to do this.

On Friday, remember there is no dinner, only a light supper. (so eat before you come, or call in at Macca’s on the way). Arrival time is optional, on Friday as the first talks begin on Saturday morning. I would suggest around 6pm, to give you time to setup your tent in the sun. (but eat first!)

For those arriving on Saturday morning, please arrive at 8.30am for a 9.00am start.

Need a camping check list? Try here. (Maybe even some cutlery this year?)

Nigel Smith (Ambo) will be the First Aider for the weekend.
