Be transformed

Dear church family

This year we are running our LEAD Theology Course for the third time with the added extra of LEAD+. One Saturday a month we will have a teaching day learning about the Bible as well as topics such as evangelism, prayer, discipleship and so on.

LEAD+ is for those who have done the LEAD course already, are on the LEAD course this year or anyone who is interested in the topic being covered.
Romans 12:2 tells us to not be conformed to the world but transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can discern what is God's will.

It is so easy to conform to the world around us, but we are called to be transformed and renew our minds so we are able to tell what is of God and what is not. One way we can begin to transform our minds and learn God's ways is through studying Scripture. There is a wealth of information in the various books of the Bible that show us who God is and guide us in how we should live as Christians.

If you want to get to know more about our awesome God and if you want to deepen your knowledge of theology and practical theology – come along to LEAD and LEAD+

Much love,

SUNDAY GATHERING - 10:30AM Join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series 'The Book of Daniel - Resilient Faith'. For those who are unable to attend in person please join us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/QSCGDfhxUYI




LEAD THEOLOGY COURSE Our LEAD Theology Course will be held over 6 Saturdays throughout the year - starting on 5th October. Each session will be divided in to parts - some with a focus on exploring a section of the Bible and others focussed on an aspect of practical theology and how it applies to our discipleship and leadership. The sessions will be taught by the pastors at WBC plus a number of guest teachers throughout the year specialising in different fields.

This year we are also introducing LEAD+. These are standalone training days on various topics including preaching and communication, worship, leadership and so much more taught by specialists in that area. These training days are for anyone who is interested in the topic and those who have previously done the LEAD Theology Course.

GIVAUDAN 10K Sunday 13th October. The route for this run starts at the Julie Rose stadium and comes directly past church. Last year we set up an extra support 'Hype' station. This was a fantastic opportunity for us to be out there with our community supporting a local event. We provided water, sweets, music and most importantly, supporting the runners as they came up the hill with lots of encouragement! We had so many appreciative comments from runners last year and we will be supporting them again this year. Come and join us! Note the morning service has been moved to 4pm
