Northfield Methodist Church

Dear Friends
Northfield Welcomes Dr Wessel Bentley
Managing our finances is a life long challenge and today we benefit from the wisdom and insight of Dr Bentley. We have to provide for our future, we have to be wise stewards of our finances in the present, and we are called to bring of our financial resources to the "House of the Lord" so that as a worshipping community we can respond to the call and conviction we carry for God's work in Benoni and beyond. To do this, we need to be people of commitment, conviction and prayer. Today is one of the building blocks that help us be such a community. May the Spirit of God work well in our hearts and minds.
Further news is that the Josh, Young Peoples Church and Children's Church are up and running for the New Year. We are grateful for the Leaders and Teachers who have returned for 2010 and there are a number of new folk on the team. If you need any information speak to Dean Cothill (Staff Member) or Stacey Venter (heads Children's Church) their contact details are available from the office. Children's Church in particular will attempt to follow our Preaching themes as closely as possible. This means that families can have a common conversation around these themes. It is important that parents encourage their children to be part of a new season of vibrant, creative worship and teaching.
Confirmation for 2010 is about to get underway and so teenagers who are 16 or older need to register now. Speak to Kyleigh (Staff member). There is still a need for more Teachers and so if you feel this is a way you can respond to God's call please speak to Stacey.
Blessings
