10 Successful Church Ministry Journey Reflections

I have composed ten reflections on a successful church ministry journey.

I derived these reflections from the two-year ministry journey we have embarked on since June 2022.

Ladies’ High Afternoon Tea

All ladies are invited to join the high afternoon tea at Oamaru Baptist Church Tea Hall on Saturday, 3 August 2024, from 2:30 PM. Tea will be served at 3:00 PM.

There will be an opportunity to share encouraging thoughts, short stories, and poems.

Commissioning Sunday news and photos

We want to express our gratitude to the Lord for a successful Commissioning Sunday. We extend our thanks to our Regional Leader, Rachel Murray, for her facilitation and support of OBC. Rachel, we appreciate your uplifting and inspiring message.

We were honored by the visit of our fellow believers from Timaru. Thank you, Errol, Bronwyn, Ralph, Usha, and Ross, for making the trip to Oamaru Baptist Church. The Oamaru Baptist Church, thank you for your excellent cooperation, and most importantly, your commitment to God’s ministry.

The fellowship lunch is wonderful not only because of the delicious food shared but also because of the fellowship’s joyful noise. Amen!
