Last Sunday we completed the message series called “It Starts with One”. In this message series we will discussed the first six chapters of the book of Acts.
This book describes how the whole Christian movement, which now counts over 2 billion adherents, started with One – Jesus Christ. Even though Jesus ascended into heaven, He was still changing lives – and He still does today! In Acts we join Jesus’ initial followers as they embark on a journey to spread the message of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. This series will surely be a great inspiration for you.
Our next message series is called “The Pretenders”
If you missed one of the messages, catch up by watching the video online!

Over the last few months we have been working on a new vision, mission and core values. They are based on the old vision and core values, but rephrased in newer, clearer and better wording. Soon you will see the new vision and core values on a banner near the stage.
Our new vision:
To be a life-giving church that loves God, loves people and impacts lives for Jesus.
Our new core values:
Exalt – because God deserves all the glory
Connect – because we are the body of Christ
Grow – because God has great plans for us all
Reach – because the world needs God’s love and grace
Serve – because Jesus came to serve
For more information please read Sebastiaan’s brand new blog post.

On Sunday 13 June we had the first Connect – membership explained seminar. 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.
We expect everybody who wants to be a member of the church to attend this seminar. Our current members are also expected to attend it before the end of the year if they want to see their membership continued in 2011.
This year on 12 September and 28 November, there will be two more opportunities to attend the seminar. It runs from 12.45-14.45 and in future child care will be provided. It is of vital importance that you attend one of these seminars, so please make plans to attend one of them.

On 13 June we will have an elder nominations round during the Sunday service. You will have the opportunity to nominate between one and 12 people as elders. Out of the people with the most nominations, new elders will be selected. Elders in Thousand Hills are those who help create a positive spiritual climate within the church. Their main functions are: providing a prayer shield for the pastoral team and the local church, counselling and praying for the sick.
For more information about eldership in Thousand Hills and the elder nominations please read Sebastiaan’s blog and watch the 10 minute teaching on eldership which was given last Sunday.
