Welcome to church! Your weekly online announcements update is back! Many of you missed the ability to review the weekly announcements as delivered in church on Sabbaths: You asked for it, so here it is!
IMPACTING LIVES, DOING MORE IN 2024
This morning, FRSDA church launched it’s theme for 2024: “Impacting lives, doing more in 2024”. We at FRSDA church are all about evangelism and our prayer and aim for the year 2024 is that we can, as a church, make an even bigger impact in the lives of our community members. That’s what this year’s main theme is about, and this morning our district pastor and zonal leader Pr. Nicholas Nicholls delivered a stirring sermon dedicated to the theme. If you missed it, you can check it out by clicking the following link, which will forward you to the church’s YouTube page. Check it out! CLICK HERE.
UNIFORM CLUB
The Five Rivers SDA Uniform Department invites all to its induction ceremony and 2024 club launch this evening, right here on the church’s compound from 4PM. The club will be in full uniform as it inducts new Adventurers and Pathfinders and launches its 2024 program. Come see what your own children can be a part of. See you there!
As a result of this special program, there will be no AY service this afternoon. AY Programming resumes on February 10th, 2024.
STEWARDSHIP
Next Sabbath, February 3rd, we will have a very special guest speaker with us. Pr. Edison Williams, the Stewardship Director of the South Caribbean Conference will be here to share a very important message with us. So mark the date and don’t be late.
PRAYER & FAST SERVICE
Also next Sabbath, approximately 15 minutes after the end of the midday service, we engage in our monthly Prayer & Fast service. All are invited to be a part of this service of sharing and thanksgiving.
EVANGELISTIC SERIES
Do you remember our 2023 evangelistic series, with feature speaker Dr. Andy Manzano? Well then you will be happy and excited to learn that he’s coming back to FRSDA to host another series. Starting Friday February 23rd and continuing for a total of 6 weekends, Dr. Andy Manzano will be back with “Prophetic Trends II: Portraits of Jesus in the Book of Revelation”. Come and see Jesus like you’ve never seen Him before: as a sacrificial lamb but also as the conquering Lion from the tribe of Judah. From Friday February 23rd at 7pm, in-person at 23-24 Cemetery Street, Five Rivers, Arouca, Trinidad or streaming “LIVE” on the YouTube channel of Five Rivers SDA Church. Don’t miss it.
CAMP VESSIGNY 2024
Camp 2024 is on and we’re heading to Vessigny High School, South Trinidad. But time is running out for you if you have not yet paid your fee. Why? Because spaces are limited and EVERYONE (except you apparently because you haven’t paid your fees yet!) wants to camp with FRSDA church. The fee is ONLY $350/person: special package for *families (*Conditions apply). So, get with the program, otherwise someone will be telling you how camp was! 🙂
PARKING RESTRICTIONS AT OUR CHURCH
All drivers are reminded of the new parking regulations that are now in place when visiting Five Rivers SDA on a Sabbath morning. And just to remind you, these include:
- No parking on the roadway outside the church building;
- No parking in front of the homes of our immediate neighbours to the North and South of the church building;
- No parking in the space alongside the wheelchair ramp;
- No parking in the two southern-most spots in the church yard;
- No parking in the driveway that goes down in front of the children’s division.
These steps have become necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of all involved.
COVID-19 THREATS
By now, most if not all of us have heard the reports of the COVID-19 virus once again starting to resurge. While the country is not in a critical situation at this time, we urge everyone to be careful and vigilant by washing and sanitizing hands, wearing masks where necessary and staying at home if ill. Let us continue to be our brothers’ keepers by keeping ourselves and them safe.
WEEKLY SERVICES
Weekly zoom services continue on Monday morning at 5AM and Wednesday evening at 6PM. Don’t miss the opportunity to bless and be blessed by testimonies of God’s Love and Goodness to His children. Links to these programs are available in the church’s WhatsApp chat.
PRAYER REQUESTS
We continue to pray with and for our members and friends. Send your prayer requests to us via connect@fiveriverssda.org or the contact link on our website.
Have a blessed week and hope to see you next service!
