CHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK SITE : Weston Community Church Dear friends, OUR WEBSITE : www.westonchurch.co.nz Last Sunday was Pentecost; the coming of the Holy Spirit was celebrated. Today is Trinity Sunday when we celebrate the three persons in the Godhead. Parents & Preschoolers meet next Thursday 10am at the Weston Church. Morning Tea provided. All warmly welcome. For info contact Elizabeth 431 7752 One of the most important truths taught by the Bible is that there is only one God. Because there is only one God, our highest duty is to worship Him alone. What can we say then of the Son and the Holy Spirit, whose divinity and equality with the Father are found everywhere in the New Testament? What is the practicality of the Trinity in our everyday lives? Did you know that the word Trinity is not found in the Bible? The character of God is more complex than we can readily understand but what is wonderful is that within the Godhead is all the practicality we need for everyday living. The New Testament writers had unquestioning faith: “Our master, Jesus Christ, is on his way, He’ll show up right on time, his arrival guaranteed by the Blessed and Undisputed Ruler, High King, High God. He’s the only one death can’t touch, his light so bright no one can get close. He’s never been seen by human eyes – human eyes can’t take him in! Honour to Him, and eternal rule! Oh yes. (1 Tim 6:15, 16.) Msg. At the Weston 10.30am service today Sharyn and Ron share on a very interesting topic. I put their key verse on the front of the bulletin today. I want to encourage Weston folk today as next Sunday is a Youth led service with Brad Kelderman (the Synod Youth Advisor) speaking. Youth led does not mean a Youth service. The 10.30am service is not just for Youth but it is a service for everyone led by our Young people. Brad brings a wonderful message and the young people need our support and encouragement as they lead worship. May God bless you all richly this morning and through the coming week.
