Who is Jesus? Why is Jesus associated with Christmas? What is Christmas? Who is that baby in the picture? Where are the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and happy fun Christmas decorations?
If you have asked or heard these questions before, come to FOCUS tomorrow night 16 November at 6.30pm to learn from the Bible about 'A Savior Has Been Born'.
Not only we will learn from the Bible, but we will also have plenty of delicious dinners and fun activities.
So, come along and invite your friends to come to FOCUS Christmas. Send this picture to your classmates, neighbours, housemates, roommates, and siblings, and invite them to come to FOCUS tomorrow night.

Hey FOCUS Fam,
What is 'church'? Why do we need church? Who is 'church'? Do we actually need to go to church every week? Is FOCUS & Unibible a church? 😵💫❓
Sooo many questions about church, but what does the Bible say about church?
This week, we'll continue our study of God's wisdom from the Bible, with the topic of Church. This will be our final meeting on the topic of God's wisdom and our final meeting before FOCUS Christmas next week.
So, bring in your questions about church, bring your friends along to FOCUS, and we'll learn together from the Bible of God's wisdom on church.

Hey FOCUS Fam,
Have you ever thought:
"I'm interested in coming to the National Training Event (NTE), but what do you actually do at NTE?"
At NTE, we will meet with thousands of students from all over Australia to learn from God's words together in one place. There will be 3 sessions to do every day: Main Sessions, Strand Groups, and Electives. These pictures provided by AFES NTE would help you understand more about what you will do during NTE.
Just a friendly reminder that the standard registration for NTE closes tomorrow! So register today before it is too late! Go to nte.org.au to register 😊
See you soon in Canberra!
