BIg Day In 2009

Big Day In is on again at Wallsend Adventist Church on Friday evening 26 June and Saturday 27 June. Starting at 7:30pm, the Friday program will feature Ali & Leighton Heise in concert. The Sabbath program, starting at 10:00am will feature guest speaker Pastor Mark Craig.

Big Day In supports Asian Aid through donation and child sponsorship. Last year’s Big Day in saw more than 30 children sponsored and many thousands of dollars raised.

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email about this new resource for young leaders. I had a quick browse, but I needed to come back. Because I had a bit of extra time today, I decided to have a more in depth look at this resource.

It is a digital magazine called “Catalyst Leadership” presented as a flash application, but still very accessible. The topics are interesting, but what I really liked were the sharing of experiences from actual young leaders.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide by yourself, but I believe that you’ll definitely find something worth in it. A bit of a warning, there’s quite a bit of “relevant” advertising among the good stuff.

You can find it here: Catalyst Leadership.

Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to drop us line with your thoughts.

You are invited to come and join us on a new journey as we study the Gospel of John. We will watch and study a portion of the Gospel of John each Monday night to find out more about the love the God (John 3:16).
Hope you can join us at Damien’s home at 7pm for study, prayer and fellowship.

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been told to post this information here. I know I’ve already sent it to you, but someone was kind enough to tell me that it should be done through the official channels.

The message is just a straight cut and copy of the one I sent the contacts on my list. But so no one involved in NASA misses out, here it is:

“I really would live to organise BEFORE we start Uni what time we would all like to meet up for prayer. Please if you could let me know your preferences for days and times, that would be great. We can just meet up for a half our if that’s all people can spare of time; however, I’d honestly like to have an hour of prayer, if everyone is ok with that.

If there is sufficient interest in the prayer group, we could have two groups running throughout the week (I may have already mentioned this in a previous email). However, I am aware of the fact that some people have hectic timetables, so if there is only enough numbers for one group, that’s fine too.

Here’s how we’ll organise preferences. List two days that you would be prepared to meet up for prayer and suggest ONE time for each day.

I hope to hear your answers soon. God bless you all! And remember to write back with any suggestions you may have.

Lety xo”–End of copied message.

P.S. If I have missed anyone off the previous list, or if you think you may know others who are interested in the prayer group, please let them know about the plans being made!!

Hello there! If you are a returning student or a first time student, welcome to Uni!

We know that most of you are eager to get into your studies, but studying is not everything Uni is about. There is also friends, sports, worship, service, etc. and we are here to make your life at Uni a pleasant and real experience.

Please, contact us if you would like to be part of our vibrant community, or have a suggestion or two for us.

May God bless each of you during 2009!

Hi there friends of NASA! I would like to wish you a very happy and blessed Sabbath.

This is the first Sabbath before Uni commences, so make the most of it! Enjoy your worship, fellowship, and peace with the ones you love (and will learn to love).

If you are away from home for the first time (or just homesick) remember that your church family is there for you. Make an effort to say hello to the people you meet. Remember they may be as shy as you at first, but a glowing smile will take you a long way.

If you are a local, be on the alert for newcomers, and make them feel at home. Who knows? You may meet your new best friend.

May this Sabbath be full of peace and joy!
