BAPTIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER 2 February 2025
Alec’s Testimony
I’m pleased to share Alec’s testimony to boost our faith in God. He probably shared this many years ago, and a few might remember.
Regardless, Alec’s testimony is refreshing. He assures us that the Lord looks after you when you are faithful. ➔ CLICK TO READ MORE
Power through Corporate Prayer
I am sharing Allan Taylor’s article “Accessing God’s Power through Corporate Prayer,” which he presented at the national Hui last November. Allan is the President of the Baptist Union of New Zealand.
Reading Allan’s article this week reminded me that we must heighten our prayer life as a church. OBC is in the reorganisation phase. Let’s be aware that our “enemy” (satan) will try to sow disunity and confusion, disrupt relationships, and many schemes to hinder us from reaching our goals. ➔ CLICK TO READ MORE
1st Quarter 2025 Organisational Plans
On 24 January, I sent an email with the subject “AGM and Eldership” with two attached documents, namely: (1) OBC Letter January 2025 from Rachel and (2) OBC Elder’s Charter 2025.
The letter mentions that the Annual General Meeting will be on Sunday, 9 March 2025, at 11:30 AM in the OBC Auditorium.
A few key areas will be discussed to assist the church’s transition into a new stage.
- Presentation of the draft new OBC Constitution.
- Nomination of OBC elders. Rachel’s letter explains the procedure for nominating a candidate for Elder.
Please inform Jonan or Bevan if you haven’t received a copy of that email or your device doesn’t have a PDF viewer. Two sets of printed copies are on the Tea Room table. We can print more if needed.
