Your Notes March 8th 2009

The Way of Love No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

OVERSIGHT TEAM:

Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.

TUESDAYS

Ian has a breadth of experience spanning more than 30 years in leadership, training, pastoral ministry and counselling. His passion is to encourage, equip and motivate people to achieve their best. He has much wisdom to offer!

Our mid-week groups have been studying “ReGroup” by the people who brought us “Boundaries”. It is a powerful study that challenges the way we do home groups, church and life! People are really enjoying it. There are daytime and evening groups available
