As you will be aware, we have been praying for more Elders for our church
leadership. This is an ongoing process of seeking suitable and willing Elders.
The current Eldership are now pleased to recommend the consideraon of
Chris Hill and Jim Gibbon to the role of Elder. If you have any reservaons
about the suitability of either person for this role, please speak to one of
the Pastors or Elders no later than Sunday, 2nd November.
The Eldership will then formally nominate the suitable candidates to the
church on the 9th November, and a secret ballot will be held on Sunday
morning 16th November for all church members to rafy the nominaon(s)
with a special meeng convened over morning tea to announce the result.
A short summary of the biblical requirements for Eldership is available in
the foyer to assist you in prayerfully considering these nominaons.

Halloween is celebrated by our culture this Friday, 31st October. It is
thought to have its origins in a fesval connected to inving good spirits
into homes and wearing costumes to disguise yourself for protecon
against evil spirits that might also turn up.
Current day images associated with Halloween include death, evil and
the occult. It is important for us to remember that the spirit world is a
serious reality, and not harmless fun, and to teach this to our children and
grandchildren. Jesus is Lord of all.
Why not have some appropriate gospel tracts on hand to offer to
anyone who comes trick or treang at your place on Friday night? AVer all,
the gospel is the best giV you can offer to anyone!
And why not celebrate Reformaon Day on the 31st October instead.
This is the anniversary of Marn Luther nailing to the church door in
WiSenberg his 95 objecons to the pracce of selling indulgences. Luther
was rightly convinced that forgiveness for sin was not something the
church could sell for a price, but was God’s alone to grant through faith in
Jesus Christ’s death and resurrecon for our sin.

We are exploring hosng a small team of Perth Chrisan Uni students from
26—30th November to experience gospel ministry in Rockingham and
share in the life of our church and we would like to billet them in pairs with
church folk. They will be involved in ministry around the church during the
day, so all they need as a minimum is a place to sleep and a meal. If you are
able to host a pair of students for these few days, please let Ps Cohen know
ASAP. We need to find accommodaon for 5 to 6 pairs of students.
Do you have a passion for sharing Jesus with young people, enjoy having
fun with them, and willing to serve within a team? The Friday Night Youth
Group is seeking addional helpers to join their team. Helpers are needed
for co-ordinang and supervising age appropriate games/acvies, or
giving a Bible-based gospel talk as part of a teaching program. If you are a
commiSed follower of Jesus Christ and are interested in serving, Pastor
Cohen would like to hear from you.
