1 Celebrating Jesus, culture and diversity December 2016 January 2017

3 Reflections from Ola (lead pastor) Music is good medicine for the soul so the saying goes! One of the things we love about Christmas is the music. Music makes Christmas special. The songs and melodies we hear reminds us of the uniqueness of this time of year. The sheer joy of celebrating the season through music captures the pleasant hope and peace that makes the Christmas story ever new and beautiful. It is a story celebrated with such diversity by people of different cultures and languages It is fascinating that when Luke, a doctor, narrates his inspired and carefully detailed account of the Christmas story some 2000 years ago, he tells of the song of a teenage girl, a Jewish priest, some angels, and an old man. Each song, the first Christmas playlist, unveils the heart of the Christmas story as they each celebrate their joyful hope in Jesus-the God-Man who changed all of human history. Perhaps you have a favourite playlist for Christmas. As we reflect together on the first Christmas playlist, may we sing with much joy and awe. May these songs inspire in us a renewed heart of worship and gratitude as we celebrate Jesus this Christmas Enjoy, Ola Do you have a favourite Christmas playlist or favourite carol? Why not join the celebration and post a link to our Facebook page ( with #christmasplaylist Share the joy with everyone! Celebrating Jesus, culture & diversity

10 on 5PM except the last of the month (Exhale) Bronwyn s reflection on the 'Upside Down' series: "One of the things that I've really appreciated learning about in Breathe this year is the idea of the upside down life, and the idea that we can turn society, culture, and what is accepted as normal, upside down. Leadership becomes about serving rather than climbing a ladder. Our motivation to do this comes from the love that Jesus has for us. In turning things upside down, we become that love for everyone else. I've found that really encouraging and inspiring." What does it mean to follow Jesus? Is it about being a 'good person'? Is there more to it than this? These questions led to many interesting discussions at Breathe gatherings and in the coffee shop afterwards during the year! This Christmas Breathe is focusing on showing hospitality to the friends and neighbours we have connected with this year. On Christmas Eve, The Pearsons are hosting a celebration lunch and dinner for those in our local networks.
11 Some of us will also be serving our friends in the parks at Mount Druitt & Parramatta on Christmas Eve. The Vinnies Van team will head out armed with love, Christmas cheer, and donated Christmas puddings to share around. We pray our presence and small gift is a gentle reminder to those doing it tough this Christmas that they matter and they too can receive the good gift of Jesus along with us this Christmas! Recently Nicole drove past a building that had the following phrase painted on its side "Expanding beyond what we know we can be". Thankfully with Christ s power at work in us that is indeed our reality, our opportunity, our privilege. It is our prayer for Breathe in 2017 that we would be expanding beyond what we already know we can be through, in and for Christ! January 2017 "Let's Live!" As the saying goes "I'll live while I'm alive, sleep when I'm dead". What does it mean to really live while we're here walking planet earth? Perhaps some might say it has to do with living a successful life, an extravagant life, others might say its being able to do whatever we want whenever we want. What do you think? Join the conversation this January 5pm Wentworth Point
12 UPSIDE DOWN experiences At the end of our recent journey through Paul s letter to the Christians in Philippi we had our own Upside Down multi-sensory experiences at different stations. It was an opportunity to reflect on what a life lived fully for Jesus looks like, and what a community of passionate followers of Jesus feels like. Shine like stars God is at work in us, and through us, to make a difference in this world and fulfil his good purposes. What next step of obedience could he be calling each of us to make in our life in community with others? Are we willing to cooperate with God for that to happen?
13 Hospitality We were able to experience being the recipient of generous hospitality as well as being the one to be generous and hospitable to others and to be thankful for each other and the food we shared together
14 Fragrant offering Celebrating communion reminded us of the greatest offering made Jesus life for ours. What can our offering or sacrifice be in response to this crazy upside down love of God? Find your rest and strength in God A guided mindfulness meditation and relaxation sequence helped relax body and mind, as we dwelt on who God is.

16 Crazy Hair at the CWPS fair It was great to be part of the Concord West Public School Fair by offering crazy hairdos. Thanks for getting involved Audrey, Cassandra, Kiran and Louise. Looks like it was a lot of fun.
17 Family Feud at Crosseyed YG Parents were invited to come and join in the hype at Crosseyed for a classic battle between themselves (The Originals) and their Teenagers (Next Gen). The night was fast paced, loud and exciting with plenty of thrills and spills in a Minute-to-Win It style battle. By the end of the night The Originals rose victorious. None the less everyone, including the Youth enjoyed the night. We had a blast!
18 Ride the Wall with the Joneses The annual Walk the Wall fundraising event for International China Concern was held in Sydney in September. Approximately sixty people took part, either walking from Wilson Park to the Olympic Park ferry terminal and back or riding bikes from Wilson Park to Bicentennial Park and back, followed by a sausage sizzle. The previous day and night saw constant rain but by Saturday morning it had cleared and, despite the wind, conditions were good for the event. Special thanks to the nine Baysiders who participated by walking or riding and to the many that have generously supported ICC financially. Almost $1000 has been collected from Baysiders. With so many worthy causes vying for attention and financial support, Jim and Cas really appreciate this outpouring of generous love towards the huge task that faces ICC as it seeks to provide love, hope and opportunity to some of China s most vulnerable citizens.
