Northfield Methodist Church

Dear Friends

Warm greetings.

If you are hearing a lot of buzz around the phrase "24/7 Prayer" here is a little more explanation. 24/7 Prayer is a world-wide movement of prayer that takes prayer onto the streets. Through this movement God has reached into the lives of so many people who would never be seen in church. We are so happy that we will have two folk from the 24/7 Prayer movement with us here at Northfield for a whole week, beginning on Monday, 28 July. They are Philip Togwell and Ian Newman. They will be sharing their stories in many different parts of Northfield. Have a close look at their itinerary with us and make sure that you don't miss out. The big event is on Saturday morning, 2 August and it is called Living the Kingdom-life. Early registration is important and you will see the details inside today's bulletin.

Today at our two morning services in the Sanctuary, we are bringing forward our pledge boxes with all the pledges. We are aware that there are many people who have not made a pledge yet who give generously. We want to say thank you to all of you for your commitment to Northfield in this regard. At present we have received 307 pledges totaling R243 094.00. May all of you who have given know the deep joy and blessing that comes as we share resources and give sacrificially.

Tomorrow we welcome Schalk back to work at Northfield. We have missed him greatly and look forward to hearing more about his furlough. Next Sunday he preaches at all three of our morning services. It will be great to see you.

We hope that you enjoy our worship together here today as a community and pray you will experience God speaking to you by name.

God Bless
