This year we are organising several Connect – membership explained seminars. This seminar allows you to:
1) better understand the vision and values of the church,
2) more effectively connect with the church family so that it will truly become your church home and
3) find your place of service in Thousand Hills.

If you want to be a member of Thousand Hills, this is the first starting point. Our current members should also attend this seminar to continue their membership in 2011.

This year on the 12th of September and 28th of November, there will be two more opportunities to attend the seminar. It runs from 12:45-14:45 and child care will be provided, please bring your own lunch. It is very important that you attend this seminar, so please make it an important priority.

The Alpha Course is a good starting place to discover more about life and the Christian faith in an informal and relaxed setting. Alpha is a dynamic course that can be life changing.

An Alpha Introduction meeting will be held on Sunday 5 September at 12.15 in the KidsQuest room. This is for anyone who is interested in the Alpha Course whether you have registered for the next course or not. Participants from the previous course will be there to exchange their experiences. There will be coffee and snacks followed by a short DVD and a time for any questions.

Would you like to develop the leader within you? Would you like to hear other leaders’ thoughts on leadership? If your answer is ‘Yes’, then read further to find out more about ‘JumpStart – Developing the Leader within You’.

In the last year Sebastiaan has been working with mentoring groups for current and future leaders and these have been quite successful. In the year to come, Sebastiaan would like to build on what has been learned and start a larger mentoring group (20 – 30 people). The first gathering will be on the 23rd of September at 20:00 – 22:00 (the other gatherings will be on 30 October, 2 December, 27 January, 3 March, April 14, May 26 and June 30).

The participants are asked to read 1 or 2 chapters of John Maxwell’s book “Developing the Leader Within You” which will be put into the context of Thousand Hills during the meeting. This will allow people to interact with each other and discuss the material they have read.

These are a few of the other subjects that will be studied:

• Integrity: The most important ingredient of leadership
• Problem Solving: The quickest way to gain leadership
• People: Developing your most valued asset
• Vision: The indispensable quality of leadership
