 Announcements- (DV): Third Sunday of Easter 2024

➢ Divine Services for the week: Fourth Sunday of Easter @ 9h00.

➢ Bible-study: We continue with our regular Bible-studies on Thursday
evenings at 19h30. We want to conclude Romans properly. Then we want to
start with studying the Gospel of John with the specific theme in mind, of
light and darkness, two kinds of faith, seeing is believing vs believing is
seeing. This is a prominent theme in the Gospel of John, which we want to
trace throughout the Gospel. Welcome to join the Bible-study Group on the
ELF Whatsapp Community.
➢ Birthdays: No birthdays for this week.
➢ For all offerings made in the past week, digital as well as cash. The cash
total was: R 524.00. May God bless all givers and gifts!
➢ Come join us for a Stewardship Discussion: God’s Word forms us and God’s
Gift and Command of Love. How do we react to God’s Word? How does
God define Love? He gives, we respond.
Date: Thu 25 April.
