God's Acre MCC ~ Weekly Newsletter
14th June 2021
Greetings!
Good morning
Yesterday I was preaching all about growth and change and how we always find help in the Bible; in Jeremiah 29:11 it says: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

I feel like all the plans are finally coming together; when we place our trust in God, it’s surprising how easy things become. God wants us to look to the future with hope, knowing that we can put our trust in God, despite all the chaos going around us in the world today. 
We should start to feel positive about our future; we are moving forward and that’s always a good thing to do.

Through prayer, trusting in God, and reading Bible verses about hope, you can build up hope in yourself.
Now may the God of hope fill you with joy, and peace in believing, as you trust in God, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
“But for those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on Eagles wings they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint Isaiah 40:31

May you all have a blessed week, amen

In Christ

Rev. Janice

Our Church Still Needs Some Things to Re-Open

Parcels have been arriving; the air conditioning has been serviced; the electrician has been in to check & move some equipment; sneeze guards are being installed & we are making great strides towards our reopen date of July 11th 2021.

There are still some things we need though; if you are able to help us by donating any of the items below, please let us know.

Donations Still Needed:
Anti-Bacterial Spray | Anti-Bacterial Wipes | Sanitizing Hand Gel | Tissues | Purified Water

If you are able to donate any of these items, please let us know; we can arrange for you to drop off.

Volunteers Needed - 26th & 27th June 2021:
If you are able to offer some time, to help us deep clean, sanitize & prepare our church, please let us know. We need volunteers between the times shown below:

26th - 10am to 1pm
27th - 10am to 1pm

Let us know when YOU can help & we will allocate you a slot. Numbers will be limited inside & outside the building.
As you can see, from last week's newsletter, we are still seriously down on our weekly giving. If you are able to donate some additional funds, please let us know.

You can send a check or donate via our online button. Every $$$ really does bring us closer to seeing you all again in person. Thank you to those who have sent some additional funds, over and above their regular giving - you are greatly appreciated.
Sadly, we are still not bringing in enough funds each week, to meet our budget. We are asking for your help.

If you haven't already done so, or if it's not your custom to support your church financially, please consider giving so that we can keep the church building running AND afford to reopen.

It's very easy to donate online - whether it's weekly or monthly, $5 or $1,000, EVERY $$$ really does make a huge impact & and big difference to our budget.

You can quickly and easily donate online, by clicking on the button below; online donations are quick, easy & save time. 

You can also mail in a check, payable to God's Acre MCC, to our PO Box mailing address.
