January is a tough month, school fees, uniforms, tablets and station‐ ary. If your bank balance is in the red, the Samaritan Fund run by LBBC may be able to give you a loan so you can spread the costs over several months. If you want to know more, speak to James McBurney, Keith McMinn or Neil Binnie. From Desk Most if not all of you will be aware that we had a church meeting after the service last Sunday. There were brief presentations by the various ministry leaders outlin‐ ing the plans for the year. There are many ideas and hopes for the year that lies ahead. I look forward in anticipation of how God will work in our midst. Our Min‐ istry leaders do a great job and are a blessing to us here at LBBC. We also spoke briefly about plans for our property.John Deed has been appointed as our architect and he will aid with design and feasibility study. At that point we can start to present something tangible to the church for consideration. We hope to use the resources we have been given to further the mission of LBBC. We also voted on a new associate in the form of Jacob Sawyer. We had a good dis‐ cussion in this regard and ultimately the vote was passed. Jacob has accepted and will start with us this week on Tuesday. I am pleased he will be joining our team to help us further the work in our area and help to take our ministry to children and families to the next level. There is usually a time lag between the appointing and the arrival of a new pastor (you may remember it took us a few months to get here) but Jacob is available now and so he will start now and we will plan his com‐ missioning service shortly. Finally we had 2 meetings midweek one in the evening and one during the day linking with our current preaching series. It was encouraging to see the number of people present and the helpful conversations I have been part of and heard about since. Being open to the move of the Spirit in our lives will reap a harvest. James World Day of Prayer FRIDAY 6 MARCH 10 am at St Johns Catholic Church 7.30pm Browns Bay Presbyterian Church A very special service repeated around the world on this day.

When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two or at the most three should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revela‐ tion comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of proph‐ ets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace as in all the congregations of the Leadership Nominations Contact Details
