Join us to watch

ACTS

from the Visual Bible

Part One – Sunday 30^th March

Part Two – Sunday 13^th April

Time: 6:30pm-8pm

Where: St John the Evangelist Hall

Meeting Room

Part One - Journey with the physician Luke as he tells the enthralling story of danger, struggle and triumph that marks the birth of the Christian church. Share the times of mystery and wonder that follow the resurrection of Jesus. Experience the transforming power of Pentecost that turned cowards into statesmen. Catch fire, as the passionate eloquence of Peter and John sends the flame of faith racing through Jerusalem. Touch the wellspring of faith that gives them courage to withstand the rage of the Sanhedrin. The martyrdom of Stephen marks the beginning of a great persecution. Flee with the disciples as the infant church scatters from Jerusalem ... to embrace the world! The seeds of the new church are scattered throughout the land. Watch as the stern might of Rome is transformed into joy. Centurion Cornelius and the ostracized "gentiles" also receive the Holy Spirit. Then, travel the road to Damascus with the Pharisee Saul. Witness Saul's shattering encounter that transforms the young faith's greatest enemy into its boldest voice. Paul discovers his destiny as "a light for the Gentiles." Then travel to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The powerful impact of their message fuels the jealousy of enemies who drive them from the city, leaving them for dead.

Part Two - We plunge into the tempestuous years of conflict, danger and turmoil, as the young Christian church opens its arms to the "Gentile" world. Journey with Paul, Barnabas, Silas and Timothy as they teach and baptize, establish churches and plant the seeds of faith throughout Asia Minor, Greece and Macedonia. Share each success and setback. The full force and consequences of Paul's powerful commitment are now unleashed. Listen to the passionate eloquence that stirs the ancient world ... shatters old beliefs ... transcends differences of race and culture ... and opens new vistas of possibility in man's relationship with God. We return with Paul to Jerusalem. He ignores repeated warnings of personal danger to follow the call of the Holy Spirit. Witness the pivotal events that will carry the flame of faith from dusty Judea to the heart of the Roman empire. The passionate beliefs and eloquent words of this charismatic Roman Jew shakes the worldly cynicism of kings and politicians. Then living amid the splendor of imperial Rome, Paul continues to teach and baptize. He strives for harmony between Jewish tradition and Christian belief. Paul's travels and writings plant the seeds of change that revolutionize the civilized world.

Dear Branches

I would greatly appreciate it if you could please forward the following information to your clubs to encourage their members to enter in the XII FINA World Masters Championships in Perth and to remind them of the closing date:

The XII FINA World Masters Championships will be conducted at the Challenge Aquatic Centre in Perth from the 15-25 April 2008.  The closing date for entries for this event is 23 March 2008.  

Since winning the right to host the XII FINA World Masters Swimming Championships, the local Organising Committee have been working hard on making this the best FINA World Masters ever.  Of particular interest to most members is the fact that you don't have to be a potential World Champion to compete at this event, as the qualifying times are quite reasonable.  There will also be an Open Water Swim as part of the Championships, to be conducted on the Swan River.  There are no qualifying times for the Open Water Swim.  

To obtain further information or to enter in these championships, visit www.2008finamasters.com.au.  This website provides information on accommodation, social events, tours, transport and merchandise, as well as the program of events, qualifying times and registration procedures.

Hi All,

Please advise all your club members that the NSW Newsletter 'Splash' is available to download from the NSW website home page.

Due to the problems with the database, we cannot send a message to all individual members for 2008 who have ticked the box to receive an electronic notification that it is available for download.

So that they will receive notification, I am relying on you as Club Secretary/ Administrator to advise them to read "Splash'. A hard copy has been sent to all members who were to receive them as at December 2007, from the already generated labels list for the December Splash.

 

Please note that ALL NEW members will be sent a hard copy of Splash via the Club Secretary. These members are also due to receive a New Member's Kit that is usually posted directly to their address. Again due to the database issues, these will be posted to the Club Secretary for distribution to those new members.

 

Thank you for your assistance in passing on this information and/or hard copies.

 

Cheers,
