Open Forum 25th November

We had a good night last week discussing should Christians have unbelieving partners. This week we are having an Open Forum to discuss what topics people would like to cover in the future. Come with your ideas or even post them on the Blog. We are also having communion.

Christians shouldn't partner unbelievers

This coming Friday we are asking this question. What do you think. Should we partner unbelievers? We don't only mean marriage partners we are talking about business and beyond. Should we employ people who are not Christians if we are a Christian company? Should we buy from non Christian businesses?Come to think of it should we only give to Christian charities?

Official: Depression is not a sin

Well I guess you knew that and I think those of us who gathered tonight to discuss it already knew too, but we had a good discussion about the subject, especially discovering the Bible has more to say than we thought.

Of particular note: the story of Elijah and what happend after his great victory over the prophets of Baal. Amazing how God looks after him in his post-victory depression.

God helps the depressed Elijah in at least five ways:
1. he gives him food
2. he gives him drink
3. he lets him rest
4. he tells him some positive truths
5. he gives him some simple tasks

So now the challenge:
think of someone you know who is depressed and think of five things you could do to help them.
Clue: don't say "cheer up"

Depression.... a sin?

Upcoming this Friday is the next in the series "Christians Shouldn't...."

and this week the full title is "Christains Shouldn't Get Depressed?"

The Eastern Bride

Well I missed the movie last night and I know a few Friday Service regulars were away too. So if you were there, what was it like? Was it challenging/ inspiring / boring?

We'd like to hear your thoughts, please!
