Ryde Presbyterian Church

Yes, it has been a while. Thanks to Ken for posting so many entries while I was away!!

2010 has been very busy. Our Kid's Club and Teens have started back with a water fight/wate slide night. I now hold the time record for the 10 metre black plastic downhill decent, covering the plastic in 1.40 seconds! I was followed closely by young Stewart who got his time down to 1.44 seconds. I believe that our time keeper, Ken, was extremely accurate and there is NO error in these times!

Our Playgroup has also started again for the year and we have had a great turn up for the first two weeks.

All the programs that we run at RPC are free and designed to build community within our church and also with the surrounding community. Feel free to come along. There will be more news of coming events shortly...promise!

Our third Carols Outback was last Saturday night. Hairy Harry was in fine form (again) and it was great to have some visitors share the night with us. There was a free bbq, lots of sugar for the kids to consume in a variety of colours and shapes!

Can't wait for next year!

It is a busy time of year!

Introducing Jesus continues on Wednesday evenings. This is a great opportunity for people who are looking to learn more about who God is and how he relates to our lives.

The Kid's are taking over the church on Sunday (6th of Dec). The lattest is thatr Hairy Harry might not be there...but he has organised someone else to take his place. This will be followed by lunch!

Carols Outback is on in a week on Saturday - gulp! We cannot wait to have fun singing, eating and laughing together!

Finally, our Blog keeps blogging on! Since the Blog Conference we have continued discussing gender issues, as well as leadership in general, sex, church vision statements and more! If you are after a bit of stimulation for the brain feel free to check it out. Ken said he will do a post soon...but I am not sure if I believe him!

On the 6th of December the kids are going to take over the church! They will be presenting some drama, singing a song, helping with music, welcomings, praying, reading the Bible and more! Hairy Harry might be there...or perhaps his brother, Scary Larry...you will have to wait and see!

After church we will have our usual morning tea followed by our church lunch. Yum!

RPC has a great playtime every Friday morning during school term. It runs from 10-12am with free morning tea, coffee, craft and singing. We always welcome new mums (or dads!) and enjoy having a chat over our coffee together! There is no need to enrol or book, just turn up and enjoy!

Be quick though, because we finish early in 4th term. The 11th of December is our last morning!
