An opportunity to serve at TenAM

Paul uses the picture of a human body to describe the interdependant relationships in a church family. It is a good picture to apply to TenAM. We have opportunities to serve as we make a move to Rosalie. 1 Corinthians 12 says:

Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?  But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.  If they were all one part, where would the body be?  As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand... there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.  If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it...

Everyone has a part to play in the life on TenAM church. Everyone has a part to play in our move to Rosalie School. We have smoothed out the details of the move to Rosalie with the School. Have got the final green light. We are purchasing the chairs, We are purchasing the PA, We advancing the carpet, We are advancing signage.

We need to work together to transform our present serving ministries into this new context.
We need to work together to plan the way we will connect with our local community and yours.
We need to work together in our administration. Perhaps some of you could help behind the scenes producing powerpoints and participating in pastoral care, assisting our admin.

We need to work together to prepare the undercover area for Sunday. We want to roster all our abled bodied adults in teams of 5 or 6 to set up chairs. This way each team would only have to set up chairs once a term or a block of one month a year. This way we can sustain our effort and share the load. From our Christmas experience it takes 5 people 40 mins to put out chairs. If you are able bodied we need your help to share the load. We need help with our music and our PA. We want to train up more people to set up PA.

We need to work together in our hospitality at Rosalie. We need to work together on our resources and publications and communications, If you have time or expertise in such things please let us know. We need to work together in growing our small groups and our small group leaders.

This move is an opportunity to extend our service to each other and the local community to
We are moving to Rosalie on a permanent basis on the 18th of January. This will be a soft launch to give us time to adjust to the new regime of set up.

At Easter we will do a “hard launch” Promoting Easter, Rosalie, and Autumn Fest.

Please pray, please get involved, please help us to serve our community
