As we start to invite our friends and family to TGBCG, let’s not forget the community around us.  Let’s help to spread the good news and invite our neighbours too!

Come and join us as we give out flyers to our neighbours on 15 Nov 2009 (Sun), 2 – 4pm.  We certainly need manpower!  If you are interested, drop us an e-mail, or sign up at the booth which will be set up outside the Annexe on Sunday.

Hope to see you there! 

Prayer Focus : Publicity
Mark 16:15 : Then Jesus said, “…..Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all….”.

Pray :

• For the Church to pray together as we prepare for TGBCG
• For willing hearts (and willing feet) to help with the flyer distribution, and wisdom to respond correctly
• That the hearts of our friends and neighbours would be open, and that they would respond favourably
