We are looking forward to our ‘Amazing Vision of Jesus’ series starting soon on the book of Revelation.

Someone asked on their comment card after last Sunday’s talk on ‘God’s Blessing’ the question ‘Is there anything we can do to be blessed or is blessing eternal life and that should be enough?’ This topic is raised by the opening verses of Revelation 1: ‘Blessed is the one who reads and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, because the time is near!’ (Revelation 1:3) A way to be blessed to read and hear the words of the prophecy of the book of Revelation and to keep what is written in it. I hope that you will read ahead and reflect on what is said there.

We start a new series this week at Village Church, Annandale call Sex, Power & Money from the book of Genesis 39-50. God and Joseph from rags to riches, come check it out Sundays 9.30am & 6.00pm.

Introducing God Term 1 Starts this week on Thursday, 3 February 2011 for more details please phone us on 02 9660 2444 or via email at introducinggod@villagechurch.com.au

Inner West people are spiritual folks. We all reach out with our imaginations to see what God is like, or isn’t like.

But Christmas is about God breaking into the world we live in. Yep, even into our little corner of it – our hip cafes, our mazed streets and graffiti-strewn walls.

It was angels that announced the birth of God’s son Jesus in very unsophisticated circumstances in Nazareth, Palestine 2,000 years ago.

Come and discover the angel’s original message at your neighbourhood church this Christmas. Who knows. You might find he’s more
interesting than you ever imagined.

Date: Friday 3rd December

Time: 7pm

Venue: Village Church Annandale

Cost: $30/ person. Children 12 and over are welcome

Michael Pickering on MTS in 2011 from Christians in the Media.

We are very pleased that Michael Pickering is doing the Ministry Training Strategy program with us at Christians in the Media and Village Church in 2011.

This is a note to my friends who work in Christian Ministry as pastors of churches.

We’ve just done up a Christmas invite design and made it available to other churches in our area. If you would like to vary the text and use it in your context you are free to as well. There’s no copyright and we are relaxed about you making changes.

You can download the indesign files here.

http://www.christiansinthemedia.org/files/Christmas_2010.sitx

You can forward these files to a designer and make changes for little effort and little cost or you could ask our designer to make the changes for you at a cost (contact Melinda at http://www.probono.com.au/).

I hope it helps in your promoting Jesus this Christmas.
