Transcript of Don’t forget to pick - northreach.org.au · as well as a safety briefing during morning tea....
If you are new to Northreach or visiting with us today please join us for a
tea or coffee and chat after the service in our Café. Don’t forget to pick
up an information pack from the foyer which includes a free drink voucher.
Kidsz Church runs during school terms at the same time as the 10.15am
morning service in the Hall, for children aged 1 to grade 7. Programs for
younger children run during both services. Register your child/ren at the
desk inside the door of the Hall.
Youth activities, for young people from grade 7 to 17 years run each
Friday night from 6.30 to 9.30pm during school terms here at Northreach.
The Nursery is located at the back of the Church (behind the glass
window) for feeding mothers. The service is telecast in this room.
Restrooms are located at the back of the Church auditorium. Please note
that the toilets in the Kidsz Hall are for CHILDREN ONLY on Sunday mornings.
You can now view the Northreach Network News on our website. Just go
to www.northreach.org.au and click on the date under the News and
Announcements. As we try to decrease on our paper usage, we
encourage you to read the NNN online and just pick up a paper copy of
the Connection Card available at the table in the foyer for completion on
Sundays.
As we support global missions you are welcome to purchase homemade
jams, relishes and chutneys from the Money for Jam shelf in the foyer. All
proceeds go to support Missions.
General Offering and Mission envelopes are available at the Information
Desk together with envelopes to place an order for a CD of the recorded
sermons from today’s Church service and prior services.
We are convinced as a church that God directs and empowers spiritual
growth, but that growth happens through the Holy Spirit when we put in
place healthy structures like Bible reading and study, accountability,
prayer and Christian community. All of these things are enabled and
encouraged in small groups. We encourage you to join a LifeGroup.
Tick the box on the Connection Card or look for the Small Groups list in the
Northreach Network News today.
You are encouraged to join with others for prayer on:

CHURCH WORKING BEE Next Saturday, 25 October, 8am - 12pm
God has blessed us with great facilities and large grounds, all of which need to
be maintained and kept well presented. We have mapped out the range of
tasks that we would like to tackle during the Working Bee. Please read through
the list below and if you are interested in working at a particular task or area,
indicate this on the Connection Card along with any tools or equipment you
can bring.
Working safely at the working bee will be a very high priority
and we will have a safety checklist to be read upon arrival / sign in
as well as a safety briefing during morning tea.
Indoor tasks (Church / Hall complex)
WINDOWS: Not a small job, we will need at least
8 volunteers to split into 2 teams to clean the church and
hall windows. Please bring buckets, window cleaner,
squeegees and gloves if you have them.
Outdoor tasks
TREES will be our main focus: We would like to form 3 teams of at least
3 volunteers. Team leaders are Michael Dickson, Russell Hosking and Neil
Cameron. We need people to assist with cutting down and lopping trees
across the property, carting to the waste area and cleaning up.
ROOF GUTTERS: Hall and Church gutters—clean and remove rubbish
PLAYGROUND: Weeding and tidy up
CONTAINER: Tidy up and remove rubbish.
Please bring wheelbarrows, rakes and all items to assist with these jobs.

MISSIONS - Prayer session for unreached people groups
Sunday 26 October, 3.00pm to 5.00pm
Northreach Café
The world's population is currently 7.2 billion. Many of these
people have never heard the great news of the gospel of
Jesus. They are unreached. They live in many different
countries, but the picture is more complicated than that,
because there are far more people groups – different in
ethnicity and language – than there are countries.
You may never go to work with one of these unreached groups but you can still
answer Christ’s call to make a difference in their lives.
Join others in our church in prayer for the unreached people of the world in
one special afternoon session.

PASTORAL CARE
A great Pastoral Care and Mission opportunity
Imagine being able to encourage, pray and share a Bible reading with
complete strangers in their time of need. Every week of the year patients at
The Townsville Hospital invite us to do just that.
Jeff Godwell has been leading our hospital chaplaincy
team for a number of years and has had countless
opportunities to bless the sick and dying with the love of
God.
We are looking for people who can spare a minimum
half day a week to share in and help grow this amazing
ministry. You don’t need to have prior experience.
Pastor Ian and Jeff will provide some basic training and
support you on location.
Speak to Ian in the church office on 4723 2371 or mobile on 0422 093 370 if you
have questions or would like to see if this ministry suits your gifting and life
experience.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved
you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that
you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13: 34-35 NIV

Bible Message Notes
Prayer & Praise Lift Northreach Baptist to the Lord and
pray for His guidance and provision for
all His plans for the church during this
time of transition. Pray for the unity
and love of Christ to be the hallmark
of our fellowship. Ask God to help us to
be a people led by the Holy Spirit.
Praise and thank God that He hears
and answers our prayers.
Ask the Lord to give us a heart for
people who don’t know Him. May we
know the joy of seeing more people
handing their broken lives to God and
seeing Him transform them. May the
Lord show us the people He wants us
to minister to.
Pray for our relationships with family
and friends, that we will live our lives,
displaying the fruit of the Spirit: love,
peace, faithfulness, joy, goodness,
gentleness, patience, self-control and
kindness.
Pray for clear guidance for those who
are seeking God’s direction for their
work situations.
Pray for those studying at Uni or Bible
College, asking God for clear minds
and good outcomes.
Praise God with Gem Jewell for her
continued healing.
Pray for those who are feeling
constant spiritual attacks from the evil
one on their families.
Ask God to bring comfort to John as
he journeys through the stages of
dementia.
Continue to pray for the Pastoral
Search Team as they work together to
bring a recommendation to the
members.
