40 Days of Community
4 Weeks to go...
Small Groups and Community
You may well be asking, what is community? Well, community is really an expression of the 'one another' commandments. There are 58 'one another' commandments in the New Testament, such as love one another, welcome one another, submit to one another. Community happens when we are practicing these 'one another' commandments, both giving and receiving.
But we have to be honest and say that the practice of these 'one another's' is difficult in a church community the size of RCRC. While we can do this in a general way, its hard to be specific in our love, care, concern and welcoming of each other. We can most definitely try to do this, and we will. The 10+3 challenge is a great way to get involved in this. But it will still be impossible to know everyone in the church. This is where Small Groups are so important.
Small Groups are really 'the church in manageable size'. Its where community happens in its most pure form. In Small Groups we get to know a limited number of people in a more intimate and personal way. They are where we practice and receive these 'one another's' most fully.
That is why Small Groups are such an integral part of 40 Days of Community and RCRC ministry. Our goal is to have everyone as part of a Small Group, so that everyone can practice and experience true Biblical Community.
Maybe you have been putting off committing to a Small Group. Maybe you have wondered how to get involved in one or been scared of 'breaking into' and existing group. For 40 Days we will be beginning a number of new groups, and it presents a great opportunity for you to get involved, give it a go and see the difference that a Small Group can make.
Can You Help?
Last week's newsletter let you know about the mission projects that we are setting up for 40 Days. If you have an organisation or an individual that could do with a hand from one of our Small Groups, please let Ben West know on 0414 871 242 or 40days@redlandscrc.org.au.
Sign Up Continues
Sign up continues this Sunday after both the AM and PM services at the CommUNITY Central desk. There are also information sheets about the 40 Days for those who need them. Remember, we need everyone to sign up so that we can order enough material for us all. If you haven't already done so, please sign up this week. Alternatively, you can email 40days@redlandscrc.org.au with your Small Group details or requirements.
This Week's Prayer Focus: The Discovery Service (11th February) and Launch (18th February)
- Pray that the Discovery Service message will be one of God's catalysts that will ignite enthusiasm, participation and commitment during the 40 Days of Community.
- Pray for all the churches worldwide that are participating in the campaign, that their Launch Event will go extremely well.
- Pray for the response of people to the appeal for Host Homes during the Discovery Service message, that God would move in hearts and cause a groundswell of response to this challenge.
- Pray that many people invited to the Discovery Service will accept the invitation without fear.
"But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations." Psalm 33:11 (NIV)
"Tomorrow I plan to work, work from early until late. In fact, I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer." M. Luther
This Sunday's Services
Sunday 21st January 2007
AM: Our sin for Christ's Righteousness - 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2
Our sin for Christ's righteousness. It's hardly an equitable trade is it? The Holy God of heaven takes all of our brokenness and sin and places it on His perfect and sinless son, Jesus. In turn He gives us a right standing before Him. As incomprehensible as it seems this is foundational to all that we believe. Everything in the life of the Christian flows from this great though often misunderstood truth. This morning we are going to begin to unpack what this means for our daily lives and the impact it will have upon our community.
PM: Preparing for Marriage - 1 Peter 3:1-7
Finding a marriage partner is like buying a new pair of jeans. You look around, try a few on and pick something that feels comfortable, makes you look good and doesn't cost you too much. Right? Well, not quite. If we view dating and singleness like this, its pretty likely that our marriage is going to run into a few problems. Dating, and singleness are both times of preparing for marriage. So this Sunday night we are going to look at what God says about marriage and then work back to see what he says about dating and singleness.
Urgent Request for K@C
Kids@Church will be starting again in a few weeks and we are still recruiting! A BIG thank you to those of you who have indicated your willingness to volunteer, we will be in contact shortly. For anyone else out there who thinks they may want to help - it's not too late - Don't miss out on a wonderful opportunity to serve God by being part of the team at K@C. We would love to hear from you.
Our two main needs are:
- We need 1 teacher for our youngest class Prep - Grade 1.
- Helpers - we need adult helpers in our classrooms. Our larger classes have up to 30 children in them and our teachers need your help! We need Helpers who are willing to partner with the teachers in these larger classes. There is no preparation required during the week (the teacher does this) the Helper is there to assist the teacher and interact with the kids in the class. We need people who are willing to do 1 month on then 1 month off and no helping during school holidays (same as the teachers). COULD THIS BE YOU! We need reliable, committed Christians to help in our youngest class (age 3/4) and our oldest class Grade 6/7.
Do you have a child who is 4 years old or turning 4 in 2007?
If YES they are welcome to start attending K@C this year in our Prep/Kindy to Grade 1 class.
To get a clearer picture of how many children this involves, if your child is starting K@C this year could you please email me the following details:
- Their name
- Date of birth
- If they will be attending a Kindy/Prep class this year
Thanks everyone!

40 Days of Community
5 Weeks to go...
Can you help us?
A major part of 40 Days of Community will be the undertaking of several local mission projects during that time. Each small group will choose one local project to be a part of at some time during the 40 Days of Community. These projects are things that benefit the Redlands community that we exist within.
We are currently putting these projects together and are interested in hearing from anyone who has contact with people or organisations that could do with some sort of help during the next couple of months. This could be anything form child care, to house work and gardening, to helping local Scout groups and retirement villages. As we are seeking 40-50 of these projects we are open to most suggestions.
So, if you think you have something that might be of interest, please email 40days@redlandscrc.org.au, or phone Ben West on 0414 871 242.
Sign Up continues...
Last Sunday, 60 people committed themselves to the 40 Days of Community, which was a great start. Sign up will continue this Sunday after both the AM and PM services. Or else you can email 40days@redlandscrc.org.au with your name and Small Group requirements.
Some people have asked if they need to sign up if they are already in Small Group- and the answer is a big YES! We have to order the material and so we have to know how much to order. As well as this, signing up your name is making a commitment to participation in this journey together.
This week's prayer focus- The Campaign Team
"Through your faithful prayers and the generous response of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, everything He wants to do in and through [us] will be done" Philippians 2:19 (The Message)
- Pray for each person involved in the leadership and inner workings of the 40 Days of Community to rely on God's sufficiency and strength. (Team is: Peter Goodridge, Todd Hammond, Melody Groenenboom, Ben West, Damien and Helen Watson, Clinton Berends)
- Pray for unity, harmony, and lasting friendships to develop among team members. Pray for their protection and good health.
- Pray that the families of all pastors, staff, and lay leaders of the Campaign Team will be prayerful and supportive during this busy season.
- Pray for the effective commuication of plans between the campaign leaders and the church staff and ministry leaders.
- Pray for God's anointing power to accomplish great things through each team member.
"And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB)

Sunday 14th January 2007
AM: Marriage Matters - 1 Peter 3:1-7
So our marriages are personal, private affairs. Right? Not the kind of place we want other people, the church, even God, sticking their noses in. Right? Wrong. God has a lot to say about marriage, about what works, what doesn't. Its stuff that we are not always comfortable hearing, stuff that has been abused and misused in the past, but still instructions that we must wrestle with today if we are to see the gospel invade every corner of our lives.
PM: Love One Another - John 13:1-17
The key to any relationship is love. How does Jesus want us to relate to those around us in church? Love them. How do we do this? By humility and service. Why? Because Jesus loved us, and asks us to love each other.

Pledge update
Hi Church,
Pledge Total so far...
$1,190,000
Isn't God wonderful! He will provide. It is also
a
wonderful expression of unity and thankfulness to God, for what He has
done.
The congregation agreed to purchase the three
adjoining properties
for a total of $2,375,000.
Thank you for your pledges received so far. This
amount
has been pledged over the next three years. Approximately half will come
in
during the next 12 months, and the remainder over years
2&3.
Where are we now?
- About $170,000 has been received so far,
which
has assisted in the purchase of the two properties.
- Formal valuations are currently being
conducted
which will assist in the purchase of the third
property.
- Could I encourage those who have not
pledged as
yet, to advise me as soon as possible.
- The prompt payment of funds will also
reduce our
interest cost.
..the next steps...
- Our planning for the future Vision of
RCRC
ministry is continuing.
- Our many ministries at RCRC can continue
to
expand with sufficient resources.
- Planning Committees will be formed to
assess
future requirements and liaise with Council
etc.
Thank you to all for your continued support and
prayers.

This Sunday
Services on Sunday 7th January
AM: On this first Sunday of the year we look into the uncertainties of 2007. There is only one thing certain; and that is the love of God in and through Christ. That is the glorious gospel.
But this gospel has been given to us, who are very fragile earthenware pots. The more we realize our human weakness, the more the glory will go to God, and to Him alone!
Text: 2 Corinthians 4:7
PM: What makes a follower of Jesus? Is it someone who knows all the right things about Jesus? Is it someone who does all the right things? In John 15 we begin to see that while these two things are vitally important - there is something more. The Christian is someone who is in a living relationship with Jesus Christ. This Sunday night we are going to explore this living and life giving relationship with Jesus and see what Jesus is inviting us into when he calls us to follow him.
Text: John 15:1-17
6 Weeks to go!
40 Days of Community
6 Weeks to go- Sign Up begins now!
In six weeks time, 40 Days of Community will begin, and you can start getting involved by signing up now. By signing up, you are...
Committing to the 40 Days program
This involves weekly services, daily devotional reading and Small Group attendance
Registering to recieve your book "Better Together"
This book will be the basis for our daily devotional reading and includes a Small Group Study Guide. The cost of this is $10, which will be payable at your first Small Group gathering
Committing to a Small Group
You will be asked to indicate if you are in a Small Group already; would like to change Small Groups for the 40 Days; or would like to be placed in a group for the first time. You give us your preferred evenings and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Sign up will be available at Community Central, outside the main auditorium after both AM and PM services until the 11th of February. Signing up early is a huge help to us in planning the 40 Days. Alternatively, you can sign up by emailing 40days@redlandscrc.org.au and letting us know your Small Group requirements.
Prayer for 40 Days Campaign 2007
There are two things we want underpinning out 40 Days of Community campaign.
The first is a desperation for God. John the Baptist told his followers, "It is not possible to succeed- I'm talking about eternal success- without heaven's help." (The Message). Campaign 2007 must not just look good. If God is not blessing it, we are wasting our time. Pray earnestly that God will change lives, and add new lives to His Kingdom by saving people during this campaign.
The second is unity. Pray that we will meld into a community of like-spirited, determined to serve our God by loving each other, and demonstrating this love to our wider Redlands Community. Read 1 Corinthians 13, and pray that we can help each other to live like this daily. Be encouraged to set your watch alarms for 4 PM. Each day, take that time to pray for our church family in the lead up to, and during the campaign.
2006 in Review
The video that was played on the 31st December 06 AM service entitled "2006 in Review" is now available for viewing online. This video shows most of the events that occured at Redlands Christian Reformed Church in 2006.
The video is available in two versions:
Dave & Family on holidays
Hi Church,
Just wishing you all the richest of God's blessings for the New Year - Leonie, the girls and I will be on leave until Jan 23. We will be doing a road trip to see family in Victoria and NSW.
May God keep you all in his grace until then!
Dave, Leonie and girls
No PM service tomorrow (Dec 31)
Hi Church,
Just a reminder that there will be no 5PM service tomorrow (Sunday, Dec 31).
We hope to see you all tomorrow (Sunday) at 9am
And remember...
Best wishes, and every blessing for the New Year,
Dave & the team at RCRC
Get into the 10+3 challenge
Hi church!
How are you going with the 10+3 challenge?
Let's make RCRC a great place to be, let's build community, and in doing so, show something of the new community Jesus is making!
This Sunday:
- 10: Speak with people you don't know for the first ten minutes after the service
- 1: Each day, pray for the next person down the address list (need one? mailto:dave@redlandscrc.org.au)
- 1: This month (January) ask someone you don't know home for a meal or a coffee
- 1: Ask someone new to your small group!
Remember the great initiative of one small group who started a 'friendship ministry': your small group could invite some people around for a dessert night, or even something more industrial strength, like a BBQ. People love it, and so will you! Best of all: God will be praised!
...make some ripples

7 Weeks to go
40 Days of Community
7 weeks to go
In just over 7 weeks, we begin another adventure as a church- as we embark on 40 Days of Community. It is a time that we are praying, and working for, that God will show us what it means to be a community that follows Jesus, and what it means to be a part of the community around us.
For that 40 days we are asking you to commit to the following:
Allowing God to shape and change you so that he might form us into a genuine Christ-following community
Attending a weekly service as we discover God's plan for community
Attending a weekly Small Group to experience and grow the community first hand
Participating in daily devotional readings from the book "Better Together"
What is happening behind the scenes?
Already, much has been done to prepare for this spiritual journey. For example:
New Small Groups are being formed so that everyone can be involved
Mission projects are being prepared for each Small Group to participate in
A Discovery Service, "Better Together", is being organised for February 11 (one week before 40 Days begins), so that you can invite people to be a part of this journey
A prayer team is seeking God's blessing and guidance in the work being done
Weekend services are being planned
There is much to do, but God has been good in providing people and passion for the work.
What can you do now?
Right now there are several things that you can be doing:
Praying: let's ask boldly, confidently and regularly that God would be at work in us and through us during this time
Reading: read (or reread) the book "The Purpose Driven Life". There are copies in the church library. If you need one, email 40days@redlandscrc.org.au
Asking: invite your family members, work mates, neighbours and friends to join you for this journey
Sign Up: from January 7th, Community Central will take your sign up to order books and be placed in a Small Group for the 40 Days.
In John 17:23 Jesus himself prayed for us with these words:
"May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them, even as you have loved me"
Let this be our paryer, and our goal, as God works in us and through us during this time.
Services this weekend
Christmas
Eve (Sunday): 9AM - What does it take for two or more
people to
live together? Patience, sacrifice, a sense of humour? It all helps. But
what
does it take for God to live with people? Is it the same, or is there
something
more? At Christmas time we celebrate Immanuel – God with us. We
celebrate the
amazing news that God has come and made his home with us. On Sunday, as
we
explore Exodus 25:1-9 we will see that this has always been God’s
plan, a plan
that he continues to see through today, and is inviting us to become
part of
that process.
Christmas Day
(Monday): 9AM - The Bethlehem story is
timeless -
familiar to just about everyone. The amazing thing is that after 2000
years it
still moves us. Still more amazing is that it challenges us, changes us,
and
offers hope for our world. Come to the Manger this Christmas Day, and be
challenged by the One who promises never to leave you the same...
Please note: there will be no 5pm service on either Dec 24 or Jan 31
Dave's Christmas Note - 2006
Hi Church!
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very blessed Christmas and a safe and happy New Year! As I write these words I am so thankful for the way God is at work in our community.
Teamwork
Thinking back through the year we have seen some outstanding displays of the body of Christ serving together. A few examples:
·
The Synod of the Christian Reformed Churches of
Australia
met in
· One week in June saw Kid’s Games here at RCRC. An army of people presented Bible stories, crafts, food and games to a huge number of kids. The team spirit was great to see, and the shared devotion to serving Jesus was such an encouragement
· Just a few weeks ago RCRC presented Carols in the car park to hundreds of people. The way people served! A great choir, technical teams, catering, musicians, facilities: stage, lighting, sound, clean up. It was both a great witness, and a great display of the body serving together!
Expansion
We
have also seen
a few challenges this year. We started with some great meetings about
our vision
and mission. At that stage we were looking at
Then November came. In what was breathtaking chain of unexpected developments, three properties adjacent to our current facility became available. I say breathtaking because previous discussions with these parties had indicated we would be waiting for years for the properties to be available. Yet in the space of a month contracts had been negotiated, accepted, and then ratified by the congregation. [By the way: there’s still time to get your pledge form in: we hope to make a thanksgiving announcement of results to date on Sunday, Dec 31.]
Looking ahead
These developments
have provided a unique opportunity for us to embrace our mission with
new
vigour: to glorify God, nurture
the
church to maturity, and bring others to Christ.
The ever expanding ministry of Kids@Church is but one indicator that pressure on our current buildings will continue to increase. The new land acquisitions mean that facilities can be provided for this and other great ministries.
There are also the developing ministries of Hope for Redlands and church planting, which will also require resourcing and training from our current base.
Our primary focus in all this is a thriving, healthy church which seeks humbly to honour the Lord with all He gives us. Our goal is not, simplistically, to merely build a big building with a hope that people will just stream into it. The body of Christ is more than a group of people who meet for a few hours each week. It is a family which needs nurturing, nourishing, and developing. There are a few things in the planning stages which we trust will help us address these needs a little more effectively. We will tell you more about them in the New Year.
The
most important
thing we can do right now is deepen our commitment to making the body of
Christ
a great place to be. The Lord has blessed us with growth in numbers, but
as many
of us have come from different backgrounds, we need to work doubly hard
to build
a healthy church ethos. In this way we honour the Christ who has blessed
us so
abundantly. Our prayer is that He will do His Gospel work through us so the
In short: the developments with the land have been a sheer thrill, but the reality is that people are more important than programs or property.
Over to you…
That’s where you fit in: I would like to encourage you to consider doing things a little differently this coming year. In terms of deepening the warm expression of love in the church, can I invite you into what, for want of a better title, I am calling the 10+3 challenge.
So what is the 10+3 challenge? Simply this:
· 10: For the first ten minutes after every service, everyone speaks to someone they don’t know. Make some new friends, share your smile, make them a coffee. Take an interest in one another. Build the body.
· 1: Pray each day for one person on the address list. If you don’t have an up to date copy, email me and I will send you one. Each day, pray for the next person down the list. Hey, you might not know them, but God knows who you’re praying about. Besides, if you’re doing the first part of the 10+3 challenge, you’ll know them pretty soon anyway!
· 1: Ask one person home for a coffee or a meal every month. Bless them with that great recipe, baptise the BBQ, bless them with the family dog, whatever. Open your heart by opening your home
· 1: Ask one person to join your small group. The 40 Days of Community program is looking to expand small groups – so why not start now? In this way someone can meet people you already know – won’t that be a blessing?
Let’s make a prayer and personal commitment to be body builders in 2007. I don’t doubt that the Lord is calling us to make a significant ministry and mission contribution in the year to come.
I’m excited about sharing this journey with you. I pray that you and your loved ones will be blessed in such a way that your desire to honour Christ will be deepened, that your willingness to serve Him will be strengthened, and that, doing this together, the salt and light of the Kingdom of God will be seen and tasted in the community around us.
Every blessing,
Dave

Make The Journey tonight...
My
journey...
After spending the last hour
or so
taking The Journey
at RCRC last night, I have endless thoughts running through my
head, all
very different to anything I was thinking before I started. The Journey
was
challenging, inspiring and refreshing, and I was moved to consider the
simple,
humble, beautiful birth of our King of Love in a brand new way. I
encourage you
all to take The Journey yourselves- you won't regret
it!
- As the next few days
become
increasingly busy, it will help set your mind on the real beauty of
Christmas
- It will encourage you to
focus on
stepping up to the new year ahead with an energised, expectant
attitude
- It will allow you to spend
precious
time reflecting on your own relationship with God and what He offers
you
So head down to
the RCRC tonight
from 7:15pm to truly experience Christmas like you never have
before!

THE JOURNEY
21st December

Not suitable for primary aged children.
Mid Week News
Sunday
9AM: "Hey, I'm coming!" ... "Yeah, so is Christmas..." Not the most encouraging thing you will ever hear. The one speaker is usually frustrated: it's all taking too long. The one being spoken to is normally stressed, wanting to get it all done quicker, but finding it impossible. Which one are you this Christmas? Which one might God be? And in an age of increasing frustration and stress, does the birth of Jesus make any difference at all?
5PM: What are you waiting for? We are all waiting for something. Maybe to get married, maybe to finish school, maybe just to be old enough to leave home. What is behind these desires, what drives them in our lives? When we read the book of Matthew we are reading a book written to a group of people who had been waiting for over a thousand years. Waiting for God - waiting for God to finally act in their lives and in the world. And Matthew's message is "The waiting is over." Could that be his message to us also this Christmas?
Kids@Church has finished for 2006.
And what a blessed year we have had! We started in January with 60 children and we now have 140 children enrolled. Praise God! We do however, need 8 more teachers for 2007. It's a great volunteer job! There are 2 teachers per class. Teachers are rostered on for one month and then off for one month. There is no teaching during school holidays. This totals approx 18 lessons per year.
This Sunday 17th our year 7 kids who are leaving K@C will be presented with a bible during the morning service. If your child is one of these kids please encourage them to come along on Sunday.
Finally, a big thank you to those who have been helping as teachers, helpers or greeters, we have achieved so much this year because of your help & commitment, we thank God for you - your help is sooooooo much appreciated!!
(There is a holiday program running during the holidays for Prep - Grade 3)
RCRC Carols in Your Loungeroom
Would you like a copy of last Sunday night's Carols at RCRC? Send some to the Rellies! Play Dave's solo whenever you want!

Pledges Update
Hi church!
It’s been great to see pledge forms rolling in – what a concrete expression of the decisions we have taken together. It really shows that we are moving ahead in unity, and with a shared desire to honour the Lord in our mission.
As the year draws to a close, Eddie Bos, our Treasurer, is in the later stages of making his presentation to the bank. If you haven’t already sent a pledge form in, I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to send it in as soon as possible.
Your pledge is important because
· It’s a concrete expression of our dependence on God. His promise is that if we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, everything else will be added to us as well (Matt 6:33)
· It’s an expression of thanks for Jesus’ grace: Each one of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor 9:7)
·
It’s a
concrete expression of our commitment to the decisions we have
taken
· Christmas is only two weeks away. Let’s take a step now to show our priorities, committing our pledges to the Lord as responsible stewards of God’s grace
·
We
have just
settled on
· Our bankers want to see a concrete demonstration that the membership of Redlands CRC is solidly behind the step we have taken. This can only be demonstrated as each individual member shoulders their personal and prayerful commitment
Let’s encourage one another as we embrace the future in confidence and humility. Confidence in God’s promise to give us all we need as we honour our shared obligation. Humility as we move ahead, in the humble recognition that we have been wonderfully blessed! God has poured into our lives ‘talents’ beyond our expectations, and now our privilege is to be courageous stewards of them together.
And God able
to bless you
abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you
need, you
will abound in every good work… [2 Cor
9:8]

Mid Week News
Sunday
9AM: How do we get to Christmas? 4 trips to the shopping mall, 7 visits to Woolworths, 5 end of year functions, 3 Carol Services and 1 packet of Valium? No really. How do we get to Christmas? How do we get to the situation where Almighty God is born as a helpless child in a dingy dirty animal shed? This Sunday morning we will explore Isaiah 49:8-13 and see that there is a lot more going on here than our Christmas cards suggest. That driven by compassion, God is meeting our greatest need. And more... God is continuing to act.
5:30PM: Community Christmas Carols
Free BBQ at 5:30pm
Carols begin at 6:30pm
plus face painting, buskers, supper, dance, drama and more!

Prayer
- Keith Warren as he rests and recovers at home.
- Seek the Lord's blessing on the Community Christmas Carols on Sunday evening. Everyone is encouraged to bring friends and neighbours to this event. Pastor Dave will be speaking at the Redlands Carols in the Park (Capalaba) on Saturday Dec 9 and RCRC people are also presenting a nativity play - please ask that the Gospel will be clearly seen and heard in these contextes.
- Pray for families as they take some time to recreate the family bonds during this holiday time. Pray for times of refreshing and enjoyment, safety and a sure knowledge that God goes with them - even on holidays!
