Tim Clark - Senior Pastor A word from our Senior Pastor Hi, and welcome to the July edition of The Vine, our monthly church magazine. We trust that you have a great time with us as we worship our awesome God together. Here at York St, we are a large regional church that is ALL ABOUT LIFE. This month there are many things happening in the life of the church so please take the time to read through The Vine and if you have questions or comments then don’t hesitate to contact our church office – office@yorkst.com.au or check out our web page www.yorkst.com.au for more information. Throughout the first three weeks of July we will continue to look at a number of the Courageous Prayers found in the Bible. On 22 nd July we will hear from those who were involved in the Kingdom Assignment, and on 29 th July we will look at the topic of Baptism. If you haven’t been baptised or have been thinking about being baptised then I encourage you to attend one of our services on Sunday 29 th July. 2. They are to manage, multiply, and invest this money as a steward OUTSIDE THE WALLS of this church in some way that advances God’s Kingdom agenda in the world. WHAT they do and HOW they do it is between them and God. GOAL: See how far this $100 can go. On Sunday 22 nd July we will begin to hear some of the stories about what has happened to the participants of the Kingdom Assignments and the $100 that was entrusted to them. KINGDOM ASSIGNMENT FEEDBACK On Sunday 22 nd July during all three services we will hear some stories and testimonies about the Kingdom Assignments which were activated back in March. The Kingdom Assignments were based upon the Parable of Talents found in Matthew 25:14- 30. On Sunday March 25 th at the end of all three services we asked for 10 volunteers to gather on the stage. I then handed each person $100 and invited them to be part of the Kingdom Assignment. In accepting the Kingdom Assignment they did so with two conditions. 1. They must understand and agree that the $100 is NOT their money. It is the Master’s (Jesus’) money and he has entrusted it to them. BUILDING UPDATE It is exciting to see the new building almost finished. Throughout this month we will see the landscaping completed at the rear entry as well as the final touches to the building. We will also begin to unpack the playground with the aim of starting the long process of building it. If you haven’t had a chance to look at the new buildings then I encourage you to park at the rear of the church (off Joseph St) and walk through the new building next Sunday. As a church we are borrowing up to $250,000 to complete this project. If you are part of the Yorkie family, I ask that you prayerfully consider giving a special offering to the Building Project, particularly as we come to the end of the financial year and many will receive their tax returns. 2
STAFF UPDATE We welcome back Angela Oliver to the Ministry Team as she returns to the role of Worship and Creative Ministries after being on Maternity Leave. Please be praying for Angela, Leigh and the boys as Angela settles back into the role. It is with much excitement that we announce our new Children's Pastor is Colette Harrison. Colette and her husband Greg will be moving from Melbourne in July and Colette will commence as our Children's Pastor on Monday 6th August. Colette is a qualified Primary School Teacher and has been working as a Children’s Pastor. I ask that you join us in praying for Colette and Greg as they move to Gordon and commence worshipping with us and ministering amongst us. A huge thank you goes to Eileen Bennett and Chris Barlow who have led Yorkie Kids this term. We have a fantastic children's Ministry Team who are making a difference in the lives of our children. Please not only pray for our Yorkie Kids’ team, but if you have a child in Yorkie Kids why not personally thank the leaders. Congratulations to our State Youth Games Team who came 7th out of 70 Teams at this year’s SYG. Blessings Tim WHAT’S HAPPENING ON SUNDAYS IN JULY? 3
