God's Acre MCC ~ Weekly Newsletter |
|
I was preaching yesterday about getting deeper into the word of God, because there is power in the word.
Delving deeply into scripture is a very worthwhile experience. As I said in my sermon, it’s important to read scripture outload so that you hear the word being spoken.
|
|
There is a wonderful Bible study that you can do on your own; it’s called Lectio Divina, (Latin for Divine Reading); it’s a process of reading scripture out loud, then re-reading and re-reading it until you get a ‘Rhema’ word from it.
Rhema literally means an utterance; rhema - as the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking in that moment. Romans 10:17 ‘So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word rhema of God.’
|
|
Faith for something comes from the word that God has revealed/quickened to you personally. That’s why two people may hear the same sermon and one comes away with faith and the other does not.
I really encourage you all to use this method of reading bible verses, so that you can feel that move of the spirit, which will enrich your lives.
May you all be blessed this week.
In Christ
Rev. Janice

Our finances are really running very low now; as a member, or regular watcher of our services online, we are asking for YOUR HELP.
It is still not yet safe to try & reopen our doors; however, we do continue to bring you a weekly newsletter, weekly online services, online healing services, virtual coffee time, weekly check-ins on Facebook and much more.
We still have monthly bills / expenses to pay - they don't just go away because the church is not meeting in person. This is everyone's church & we need YOU to help us keep it running.
By financially supporting us with your tithes & offerings, we can start to reverse this critical financial crisis.

We know that times are tough & many of you are on a fixed income; however, even $5, $10, $20, $50 - received regularly can (and will) make a big difference.

USED STAMPS NEEDED PLEASE
We are asking for your help please; we are collecting used postage stamps, to help a charity raise some much needed funds.
Henshaws is a UK based charity supporting people living with sight loss and a range of other disabilities to go beyond expectations.
They believe that, wherever they are, everyone has the right to an independent and fulfilling life.
Their support, advice and training enables people, and their families, to build skills, develop confidence, help each other and look forward to a more positive future.
All you need do, is tear off the stamps & collect them until you have a pile & then you can either drop them off at church, or mail them in to the church mailing address.
We'll do the rest & get them to the charity. Thank you all, for your help.

This week's update come from the Florida Coronavirus Update & Information Group:
“The CDC is backing the rollout of Covid boosters from Moderna and J&J.
Who is eligible for a booster?
For Moderna, the panel said a booster should be given to people on the same terms as the Pfizer-BioNTech booster. That would cover people 65 and older, people 18 and older in long-term care settings and people 50 to 64 with relevant underlying medical conditions.
The booster may be given to people 18 to 49 years with certain medical conditions and to people 18 to 64 who have COVID-19 risks related to their work or who live in certain institutional settings.
For Johnson & Johnson, the panel's advice was simpler: A booster is recommended for people 18 and older at least two months after their initial immunization."
From CNBC: The delta variant has a mutation that’s worrying experts: Here’s what we know so far
- A newly-discovered mutation of the delta variant is under investigation in the U.K.
- There are worries that it could make the virus yet more transmissible, and could possibly undermine Covid-19 vaccines further.
As always: Get vaccinated, Mask Up, Keep your distance, Wash your hands, Stay informed, Get your booster when it’s time, Stay safe
We continue to monitor the weekly information to assess when it might be safe to try to reopen again.
Let's all keep extra vigilant & do our bit to stay safe. We will continue to offer our services online, for you to participate in.
Please continue to keep Rev. Janice & the Board in your prayers, as they keep you in theirs.
