Mission Update: CMS
Before our link missionary, Karina Brabham heads off to France, she’ll be commissioned as a way to mark her sending out with CMS. The commissioning service will be taking place on Saturday 15th January at 10:30am at The Bridge Church. She would love for you to join her- whether in person or on the Livestream – as you partner with her in gospel ministry. Please let her know if you plan to be there with you RSVP to kbrabham@cms.org.au.
Also, for anyone who does intend to come, if you drive it’s worth being aware that you’ll need to leave time to find a car park on the street and to be checking parking signs as some streets are timed on the weekends. If convenient, Karina would recommend taking the train as the church is only a short walk from Milsons Point train station. See photo below.
