The Presbyterian Church of Victoria is holding a ‘Thanksgiving Service’ to commemorate the life and ministry and its continuing influence amongst us today, in this the 500th Anniversary of his birth.
This service will take place at 4.00pm on Sunday 25th October (Reformation Sunday) here at South Yarra Presbyterian Church (621 Punt Rd South Yarra).
Prof Douglas Milne, Principal of the Presbyterian Theological College of Victoria will be our guest preacher at the service.
A ‘Reformation Choir’ has been formed from the South Yarra congregation to help us also sing some of the Genevan Psalms (in English of course).
The service will be followed by a cuppa time to enabled further fellowship.
In this year of celebrations for the far-reaching and God-glorifying influence of John Calvin’s ministry what better way to celebrate than to worship our God and to seek that He may stir our hearts in devotion to Him. There is no mistaking that this was Calvin’s life-long desire personally and in ministry. Calvin’s motto was “Here Lord, I offer my heart sincerely and promptly”. Is this not a godly desire we can emulate also?
Join us in this testimony of praise and thanksgiving to the glory of God.
