Though our thoughts are divided and selfish, God’s thoughts are for us — He remembers us (Genesis 8:1; 9:16). This seemingly small thing makes a big difference! This sermon will unpack what it looks like when God directs our thoughts: our minds are transformed in joy and peace, as Christ guards our heart (Philippians 4:4–9).
Bible readings: Genesis 6:5–8; Philippians 4:4–9

Big Week Out 2016
Youth from this church will be involved in a service event Big Week Out (BWO) from the 18th-22nd of January which is exciting initiative of local churches where young people from partnering churches all over Adelaide come together to make God's love known through service.
We would love your help by donating a meal to ensure the cost of participant registration remains low. Please consider donating baked goods for morning/afternoon teas or contributing to one of the dinners so that the participants and leaders are being nourished!
Please contact Zoe Thiel on 0422938623 or visit the BWO website http://www.bigweekout.org.au/#bio for more information.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
