Border Church this Week
To watch our services live or later on you can view them on our YouTube Channel. Please make sure you are subscribed and have hit the bell for notifications when we go live - https://www.youtube.com/@WithGirdedSword/streams
This week we are going to look at adapting some of the lessons we have learned from 1 Corinthians for how we live as a Church within the Border community. What vision is God laying out for us? Where is He taking us over the next period. What challenges might we face and what tools do we need to be equipped with.
Kids/Youth Church will be running for the time that the service is on, directly after the worship.
We always have a healthy plant-based fellowship lunch after Church. This week we are having Haystacks/Nachos. We would love you to join us for this time of fellowship. Our lunch schedule can be found here - https://border.church/pages/church-luncheons-roster
This Weekend
This week Border Youth is at our usual location at Tweed Presbyterian Church Hall from 5:30-7:30pm. Our Youth will be playing some games of strategy and skill, using their mind to solve some puzzles.
News and Upcoming Events
Starting this week we will have a short break before we start our journey through 2 Corinthians. We will have some guest speakers over the winter months as well. We are also turning our attention to our Service September outreach. We will let you know more in coming weeks.
Over this year we will be exploring the two letters to the Corinthians. These two series will carry us through the rest of the year with other events and speakers throughout.

If you would like to catch up on previous studies in this series, recorded sessions can be found on the secret YouTube playlist here:
Bible Discovery Groups
For 2025, make it a resolution to begin or to join at least one Discovery Bible Reading Group. They are super simple to do and a great way to learn in community with others, especially those new to the Bible. You can get something out of this no matter what level you are at. We would love to show you how to lead one of these groups simply. Please let us know if you would like to start one.
Other worship opportunities
We run Alpha small groups on a regular basis and if you would like help hosting one for your friends or loved ones to discover Jesus and the basics of the Bible, please let us know.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at 10am.
Blessings
love
Brendan, Alina, Victor and Erina
