THE YEAR OF DISCIPLESHIP A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR DAMIEN
Welcome to our Winter edition of Update
Our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting are over,
but that does not stop us from continuing to
build a greater foundation for God in our lives
through discipleship; transformation and multiplication.
Jesus told a story of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew chapter 7.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them
into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house; yet it did not fall,
because it had its foundation on the rock.
26

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them
into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27

The rain came down, the streams rose,
and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell with a great crash.
Jesus speaks for 3 chapters before he makes this statement.
He gives us a huge amount of life detail to set a strong foundation.
Imagine planning your dream house, only to build it and fnd that the
tradies built the wrong plan. Thats not how I wanted it. Its not what I saw,
or dreamed of etc. Sometimes our lives can be like that.
Imagine our faithful BIG W workers sneaking into the store
after hours and changing all the price tags.
Bikes $1.50, chewing gum $150.00, newspapers $15.00 etc.
Mass pandemonium the next day.



Our lives can be like that.
We can place great value on the footy and
a lesser price tag on our children.

We put a big price tag on a Boys night out,
rather than a date night with our wife.

Decisions determine our destiny, daily!

Lets stand together.

Put a stake in the ground, like Joshua did when he announced,
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Josh. 24:15).

Love you church, you are truly beautiful (In a manly sort of way as well)
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD

CORE CHRISTIANITY

Core Christianity is a fve week course for those
that are curious about Christianity, are just starting out,
or have been around church for years but would like to review
the fundamentals of what we believe as Christians.

Over the fve weeks we go back to the foundations and cover topics
such as what it means to become a Christian,
what it means for my life, why do Christians do that....?,
what I do now?, and ends with a practical night where
we talk about and experience the Holy Spirit.
The course usually runs with a maximum of 3-4 people to
make sure we have time for everyone to ask their questions
and discuss the answers; however we have also run
the course with individuals. Likewise, the course normally runs
on a Monday night but can be changed if required.
Courses run continually so if you are interested or know someone
who might be interested wed love to catch up and work out a date for you.
Please contact Glenn Bruffell on 0409 961 322 for more details.
We see a church of committed people, embracing and empowering a generation.
A church who make a real difference. A church of irresistible influence.

LINK GROUPS & TIMES
Hebrews 10:24-25a
And let us consider how we may spur one another
on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together,

as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another
- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

ARENA YOUTH
MINISTRY
Arena runs a youth program that encourages and
empowers young people to make positive life
choices and navigate effectively through
adolescence into adulthood.

Our goal is to build up and encourage as many
youth as possible, to step out of the normal and to
do something amazing with their lives.
To help other people, and to be happy doing so.
Our weekly Friday night program, for the ages
of year 6-12, provides youth opportunities to be
involved in and help run Tribal Wars (team based
games), Motivational Speaking, Our Church Music
Band, Social Time, Event Management, Sound
Teching, MCing, Video Production, Marketing and
more. Every second week the program has a
Christian focus for our youth to learn how they
can live as a Christian in everyday life.

Other areas for involvement include the Annual
Beach and Snow camps,
link groups to build weekly support and
connections with others,
Planetshakers conference,
Axis Dance Ministry, Leadership training
and Community Involvement and
Traineeships.
Please contact Youth Pastor Lukas Edwards
on 0413 668 261 for more details.
Axis Dance Ministry is part of the creative branch of
Epicentre Church. Axis aims to provide an
atmosphere where creativity is encouraged and
explored by all who get involved in the group.
This is explored through dance and drama.
Anyone over the age of 12 years is encouraged to be
a part of Axis Dance Ministry: to be one of many who
take the opportunity to minister and empower through
performance at local
community events and church services.

Axis meets every Tuesday 4:30-6pm at the
Epicentre Church building, Corner Bowen and
Service Sts, Echuca. We welcome you to come along
and experience what makes us the dynamic
group we are. For more details please contact
Beck Bachelor on 0408 013 731.
AXIS DANCE
MINISTRY
Rob Wiltshire is leading a new group for
people who are keen to learn more about prophesy
and how to develop that gifting.
Rob explains how we all have the spiritual
availability to hear Gods voice and see Gods
visions. He shares his vision for our church to
prophesy over others as we
tune in to the word of God.
When we are tuned into Our Father, this helps us to
pray effectively for others, and when we are hearing
the voice of God, we have vision and
desire to bring those gifts and
the word of God to our greater community.
The group has been gaining new insights into the
spiritual gifts God has given each of us, and how we
can best use them to further the work of Jesus in our
own lives and our greater community.
Please Contact Rob Wiltshire on 0429 418 655.

We see a community healed and restored, full of hope and freedom.

We focus on the family unit, however that may look to you,
and we help people in our community through educational
workshops, group learning and one to one conversations in a
friendly environment of love and compassion.
John and Jenny Le Clerc have extensive experience in ministering to
families about how best to manage living a Christian life as a
family unit, and work through lifes ups and downs together.

They spent the most part of ten years travelling throughout Africa,
teaching and ministering to families about God,
and we are fortunate that we have access to their wealth of knowledge
and experience to learn from and gain practical advice
to help make our families work at an optimal level.

John and Jenny will be dedicating much time to
personally visit each link group over the next months, and
create personalised sessions on topics of each links choosing.

Some of these areas may include Foundations to a Healthy Family,
Communication and Confict Resolution, Youth Issues and bringing
Practical Advice to help our everyday lives feel more manageable.
In addition to the links series, John and Jenny will also present a variety of
seminars for anyone to attend that will be run over a few weeks.

Epic kids is entering into a season like never before.

Epic kids is focused on
building greater excellence
and fun into the weekly Sunday
program offered through Epicentre Church.

We believe that Jesus is the funnest kid
on the playground and wants everyone to
come play and learn how to have the
best time on the monkey bars, swings, and slides.

Just like Jesus we are teaching our kids
how to enjoy their walk with God
by getting to know him and utilise
the awesome play equipment to
produce Heavens reality on earth.

Each of the 4 age groups within this program
are surrounded by a loving, inspired, team of leaders
that are excited to get to know every kid
and build great friendships.

We believe relationship is the key to both
discipleship and walking in power with Jesus.

Please approach the information desk in foyer
or Libby Hudson for info on Epic Kids.
IMPACTING LOCALLY,
REACHING GLOBALLY
Later in the year
WE-Care will be running
