GOOD NEW YEAR START

FIRST BAPTISMS AT GRAZETTES

On Saturday 17th we had our first two baptisms at Grazettes. Two young ladies Chelsea Shepherd, daughter of one of our leaders and Janeva Miller were baptized into Christ on Enterprise Beach in Christ Church. Also baptized was a lady who is a member of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, who is the organist for one of the leading churches on the island who believed that the proper scriptural mode of baptism was immersion. She asked and I was happy to baptize her.

COMBINED CHURCH DINNER

That same evening we had our annual Church Dinner which was a combined on this year in the Six Roads Fellowship Hall. We had over 120 out for the occasion and all who attended had a great time. We had Christian Karaoke and a lovely meal followed by Sunday School Awards from the Six Roads Congregation and the presentation of Bibles and Certificates for those baptized during the year.

GRAZETTES RETREAT

On January 21 which is a holiday here we had the Grazettes Annual Church Retreat. We had 32 who attended the event. We had a good day around the theme "Better Together". We started with a short worship session and then we had three workshops on the topics "The reasons for Togetherness", "Misconceptions about Togetherness", and "Benefits of Togetherness". These were all taken from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. After lunch we had a time of evaluation followed by planning and goal setting by the various auxiliary groups and the Ministry teams of the congregation.

During the past few weeks since the new year we have been having good attendances in the congregations and we have started the Cell Group Ministry at Grazettes and restarted it for the year at Six Roads.
