Welcome to Term 2! It’s week 2 of the term, officially, but it’s week 1 for JAM. Anyway, whatever. JAM is back this week! It’s been a little while, we think. We’re gonna get straight back into it with Mega Games this Friday night, so make sure you come along! We’ll see you on Friday at 7:30 pm! We’d love to see you for Sunday Night Worship, 6:30 pm at the church, too! God bless.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

This week: Mega Games!

Just a quick one for now. We need to remind you that JAM is going tenpin bowling this Friday night at AMF North Strathfield! You should have got your permission note by now (if you haven’t, it’s probably too late) so you need to bring it with you on Friday night. We’re leaving PUC at 6:30 pm to get McDonalds for dinner on the way, so make sure you’re there by 6:15 pm or so.

That’s about it for this week! We’ll hopefully see you on Friday! There’s no Sunday Night Worship at PUC this weekend, either: we’re going to the combined service at Padstow Baptist Church instead. It starts at 7 pm. Be there!

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

This week: Tenpin bowling! Meet at PUC by 6:15 pm!

Jammers! JAM is back this week with another Messy Night. I think by now that that should say it all, so come prepared to do gross, icky things in the name of having a good time.

Come along at 7:30 pm Friday night! Sunday Night Worship is on at 6:15 pm Sunday evening at PUC, too. We’d love to see you there! God bless.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

This week: Messy Night!

Hey, Jammers. We all had a great time last Friday night at the Mountain Of Cardboard event. Towers were built, armour forged and battle fought, all in the name of being creative with cardboard. The girls proved that they were better structural engineers and better armour-forgers than the boys! It was nice to see Luke Smith pop in, too.

JAM this week is the mysteriously-named Workshops and Animal dress-up night. Basically we’re gonna have some workshops on how to play Guitar Hero, how to play real musical instruments (drums and so-forth) and probably more besides. And of course, we’ll all be dressed up as animals, for no particular reason.

You’ll notice the big JAM flyer below this week’s GOSS, and also there in the sidebar. Save a copy, if you like, or you can come and click on it in the sidebar at any time to see what’s going on.

Come along at 7:30 pm, Friday night! Don’t forget Sunday Night Worship, 6:15 pm Sunday evenings at the church, either. God bless!

I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. John 12:46

This week: Workshops/Animal dress-up!

JAM is back this week! Welcome to 2009! We hope you have all enjoyed your holidays! We have a big term planned, so make sure you come along so you don’t miss any of it! This Friday we’re kicking things off with Mountain Of Cardboard. What is that, you ask? You’ll have to come along and find out. Bring your creative caps, too.

JAM is on at 7:30 pm on Friday night! Don’t miss it! Come along to Sunday Night Worship at 6:15 pm Sunday evening, too! God bless.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

This week: Mountain Of Cardboard

It’s the beginning of another year! JAM is not quite back yet (probably will be next week, but we’ll keep you informed) but this coming Sunday evening is the first Cafe Church for 2009! How exciting! Check the poster below for dates (you can also find it in the sidebar). For this Cafe Church we’re doing something special and asking everyone (that means you) to bring along a plate of something to share. This is your chance to impress us with your culinary skills! As usual Cafe Church begins with a meal at 6 pm but we’re asking you to arrive by 5:45 pm so that your food is good to go by 6 pm. Bring a friend, too! We hope to see you there!

JAM was also part of Panania Uniting Church’s annual Beach Mission at Soldiers Point after Christmas. This year it ran from December 27 to January 3. Here are some photos!

This week’s JAM is the final one for 2009! It’s the annual Broken Records night! I suppose that means there will be competitions to see who can do the most push-ups, how many people can fit in Angela’s car, and other quests of that nature. You’ll have to come along and find out for yourself, though.

It’s on at 7:30 pm! Of course, we’d also love to see you for Sunday Night Worship at 6:15 pm Sunday evenings, too.

This week: Broken Records!

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14

Week 7 of term! Christmas is fast approaching, but we’re not there yet. Last week the core group kids had fun on our excursion to Manly! We caught the ferry and got dinner and played rugby on the beach and it was a bunch of fun. Tomorrow night is the Who Dares Wins/Water Night/Messy Night, so you can be sure that it’ll be pretty packed. There’s a fair chance that your clothes will get wet, dirty, or both, so don’t wear your best.

That’s about it! Come along at 7:30 pm tomorrow night! It’ll be fun. Mark is speaking this coming Sunday night, too! We’d love to see you for Sunday Night Worship, so come along at 6:15 pm! God bless.

For the LORD, the Most High, is to be feared, a great king over all the earth. Psalm 47:2

This week: Who Dares Wins/Water Night/Messy Night!

JAM is back this week! This week’s JAM is called Make And Break, so that means you’ve got to bring your imagination with you because you’ll be building some extraordinary things out of ordinary stuff. And then you get to destroy them! Or something like that.

As you know by now, JAM now has a blog! We strongly recommend that you click the link below the “Subscribe!” heading in the sidebar to subscribe to an e-mail feed of the blog’s posts. You’ll receive one e-mail per day containing all that day’s posts, whenever we publish anything. And of course all the content will be available by going straight to the blog online, too, but we recommend that you subscribe so that you don’t accidentally miss out on anything important.

JAM is on at 7:30 pm on Friday night! Come along at 6:15 pm on Sunday night for food and fellowship before the service, too! God bless.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Luke 14:11

This week: Make And Break!
