May Mission Month - Partnering with Nita Finger

It's May (tomorrow)! We're excited to mark May Mission Month this year by raising funds to support the work of our mission partner Nita Finger in Uganda.

You may remember that we helped purchase Megavoice media players, loaded with the New Testament in the Karamojong language, for Nita and the team to use. We're excited to say, the Old Testament is now available!

So this year our May Mission Month appeal will support purchase of Megavoice OT players to go with those provided previously. Each player costs $75. They will be given to communities where believers gather, but don't have someone who can read well enough to read aloud.

For details, and to learn about how to give to our May Mission Month Appeal, click here.

Nita, who was part of the NVBC family for several years, is now part of Africa Inland Mission (Australasia) team working with the Karamojong people group. You can learn more about Nita’s work here. Or talk to Dianne Wicks. And watch for Nita's prayer points is in The Harvest.

Thanks for Helping at the Working Bee

A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our Working Bee on Saturday! We had a lot of fun and got the place looking lovely to welcome thousands of our neighbours to come and vote here on Saturday. Thanks team!

Election Day this Saturday

Thank you to everyone who's signed up to help out on Saturday. We'll be hosting about 2000 of our neighbours on Saturday - please be praying for them, that they would feel loved and welcomed on our property and by our church family. This is a great way for people to think of us, and think of God, as they do their civic duty and have a democracy sausage!

If you haven't signed up yet, we still have a few gaps, especially in the afternoon. If you can pop down for an hour or two to be a friendly face alongside your fellow NVBC'ers, we'd love to have a few more helpers! Email your availability to church@nvbc.info, and Leisel will let you know where the gaps are.

Alpha starts Sunday Night!

Alpha starts on Sunday night, at 6:15pm. If you have a friend you've been meaning to invite, now is the time to send them a message! It's still not too late to RSVP.

Please be praying for everyone who comes along, that they would be open and curious about finding God and answers to big questions. And pray for our team, that God would give them wisdom and love as they lead discussions, that God would open up a space for His Spirit to work in people's hearts over the next 10 weeks.
