Why November is so Exciting

Friday, 31 October 2008 - Posted by Pastor Mario

November is an exciting month at Metropolitan Baptist Church.

This month we celebrate 21 years at Lane Cove West, a wonderful testimony to the faithfulness of almighty God.

Anniversary services are planned for Sunday, November 2 at 10.15am and 6pm. It is an excellent opportunity for members to invite friends along to see how God is at work in our community.

November is also a big month for our Homeschooling Families. The annual Homeschooling Presentation Night on Friday November 21 from 7.30pm at the Church.

In addition the Homeschool Group end of year celebration is planned for November 28.

It’s also a time of intense study for Bible College students as final exams for 2008 are held at Sydney Bible Baptist College.

Four students are due to graduate next month. Please pray for the graduation meetings in December and for more students to commit to full-time study in 2009.

As Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church I invite you to join us as we continue to revive our hearts in 2008.
