Mission Sunday – 19 May 2024
Sunday 19th May 2024 is our Mission Sunday and Gift Day, where we have an extended time of fellowship and learning on a particular topic to do with cross-cultural mission. We also aim to raise money and awareness for particular causes over the course of the day.
This year we have visiting speaker Pedro Barbosa joining us to talk about his experience in Portugal.
10:30am – Sunday Morning Service – With Pedro preaching and interviews with his family.
12:30pm – BBQ at WPPA (for those who have booked)
2:00 – 2:45pm – Q&A Session – This will again be with Pedro. There will be time for discussion. During this session a children’s activity will be arranged in a separate room
There is no evening service
Over the course of the weekend we encourage you to make a gift over and above your normal giving. This year we will be distributing the gifts to these four causes:
1. Pedro Barbosa – to support training Pastors in Portugal
2. Moses Undru – an additional gift towards church planting in Indian villages
3. Floods in South Brazil – Help towards the recovery of Presbyterian church in South Brazil where their building has been completely submerged in the floodwaters and many members have had to leave there homes. We have a connection to this church through Neto who we support with his church planting work in Northern Brazil.
4. Persecuted Christians in India – One of our members has contact with a mission organisation giving support to churches experiencing persecution and hardship in Northern India
