MINISTRY SCHEDULES Brant Community Church Sermon Notes November 02, 2014 “You Must Be Born Again” Series: God’s Way With Us Week 1 of 5 - John 3:7 Greeting Nov 2 Nov 9 Nov 16 What Caused This Verse To Be Said? Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." Nursery Nov 2 John 3:1-2 Nov 9 What Core Truth Is Being Expressed? Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' John 3:6-7 How Is Our Relationship With God Impacted?

We heard their testimonies of God's faithfulness in overcoming AIDS, lack of clean drinking water, disease, poverty and lack of education. They have amazing stories and so much hope in God. The choir is coming to Ontario again this fall! The concert is free but all donations collected will be used to help build a school in Orbili, their community in Tanzania. The first classrooms have already been built and classes have begun for many of Orbili's children. With the money raised on this tour, they will add more classes and teachers, and eventually have a complete elementary school.

In 2013, Canadians donated more than 664,000 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for hurting children around the world. Many of the children who receive a shoebox are being given the first gift they have ever received! We have a chance to be a part of seeing a child's life changed through this program! There are shoeboxes set up in the community room and at the back of the church for you to fill and return...would you consider filling a box or two or 10? Let's make this the best Christmas ever for LOTS of children this year! Operation Christmas Child Warehouse: December 6th we are scheduled to take a group to the warehouse to help sort and pack the shoeboxes. We have two shifts from 9 a.m. 4 p.m. so we will be there all day. If you are over the age of 14 and would like to be a part of this great opportunity this year, make sure you sign up on the warehouse sign-up sheet on the back table.
