Coming Events – Thank you for joining us today and we pray that you had a great Christmas. There will be no service tonight and our Wednesday prayer and study night will be in recess until January 11, in the New Year 2022. To all the staff who served and assisted in our Christmas Eve service thank you. Next Sunday, January 2, we will be celebrating Communion for the first time in the New Year and will have a special message, the last of Jesus 7 statements from the Cross, “Father into Your hands I commend my spirit!” With the approaching New Year 2022, we encourage you to seek to serve in a number of ministries that constantly need people with godly hearts and a passion to faithfully serve. Such as Sunday school teachers and helpers, ushers, security, cleaning, coffee, just to name a few. Each of these positions require people who love the body of Christ here at CCSH. Don’t forget, if you have not been baptised, and desire to fulfil Christ’s example, place your name on the baptism sign-up sheet at the information desk. Lastly, the CCSH board have met in regard to the location of the proposed extension of classrooms, youth room and additional offices to come off the southern end, (car park) of the existing structure. Please keep our Building and Maintenance Director, Reece De Jonge, in your prayers as he oversees this building project.
Helen’s Heart And so this is Christmas and what have you done? Is the line of the famous song often chorused by many at this time of the year. But John Lennon got it wrong, we need not focus on what we have or have not done but what “He” has done. Almighty God stepped from the throne and lived among us and died and rose again so that we would live forever. For God so loved ….that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life – John 3:16. May you celebrate the wonder and miracle of this amazing love at Christmas time and for all time. O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness…Psalm 107:8
From the Pastor’s Desk Leadership in any form in the body of Christ comes with added responsibilities and accountability. As a Pastor, God holds me doubly accountable before Him and will judge my serving Him with an increased measure that comes with such a position. So too all positions, when a person fills any other leadership role. Christ Himself said that He would bring judgment to any who would cause a little one to stumble. The children, youth and adults that call CCSH home, look to these leaders for an example to follow. So you just can’t teach, lead, instruct, or oversee and not also be an example in your personal devotion to Christ, because little eyes especially are watching. Therefore, if you are looking to lead in any capacity in 2022, as Jesus says, count the cost before you go to battle. We pray and expect that those who lead here at CCSH, will also provide a sure foundation in their devotion and personal commitment to Christ, in order to be the leader God would have fill any position at CCSH. Let us who assume such roles give due diligence to our own devotion to Christ in our prayer, study of His Word, and commitment to His body so as to ensure in 2022, we like Moses, Joshua, Caleb and others..can truly say, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord…..!
Calvary Chapel Nasinu – Fiji Pray for God to bless the fellowship of – CC Nasinu – that they have a blessed New Year and that God may guide a team from CCSH heading to Fiji to serve and bring a blessing to the Church in CC Nasinu.
Grace Giving – We have a container at the left rear of the chapel for your grace-giving, or you can give electronically via the following information. CCSH Account number: 2490144 & BSB: 306089. Our greatest encouragement for giving is that it pleases the Lord. Let us worship Him as we give and remember that God was unsparing in His giving 2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

Once the service has commenced, we ask that you please limit moving or having to leave your seats- the ushers will assist you, should you need to leave your seat, to return to a one located to the rear of the sanctuary to not distract others – thank you for your assistance in this matter.
