Lay Witness weekend - Faith and Fellowship

We, at Brits Methodist Church, are blessed to be hosting a lay witness weekend on 5, 6 and 7 October.

Although the church hosted a Lay Witness Mission a few years ago, there are many members who were not here at that time and who have not experienced such a weekend before. To tell us more about how the weekend works and how each member of the Church can get involved, a coordinator from Lay Witness will be speaking at the service on Sunday 19 August.

From our church, Priscilla Oosthuizen is handling the coordination - a mighty task - and she would appreciate any help from members of our church. Particular areas of need include people for the prayer group, publicity, accommodation, catering, transport, tea and coffee groups, youth, music and flowers. Please contact her on 072 779 9744 if you are able to help in any way.

Fellowship groups our way...

The new Wednesday night bible study / fellowship group has recently completed Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. The group really enjoyed the video course and are all raring to go and ready to do GREAT things for God.

To celebrate the end of the current course, the group enjoyed a braai this Sunday and we were blessed with magnificent weather and fantastic company. Unfortunately Julie and the Konopi family were ill and could not make it, & Dave was overseas on a business trip. We did, however, enjoy the company of the teenagers of both the Ashby and Otto families.



Beginning this Wednesday, we are starting the Prayer of Jabez - a 4 week video course by Bruce Wilkinson which we are all looking forward to. Frieda has also motivated us to start a bit of a sing-a-long to get the evening going so we are really excited about that.



If anyone would like to join, we really would love to have you with us. Simply talk to the Kerrs, Ashbys, Ottos, Konopis or Hammonds for more info.
We really do have a great time!
