Hello church family, By now you are probably back into the routine of things and wishing for another holiday. The year goes by so fast and before you know it, it’s time to celebrate what Jesus did for us all on the cross 2000 odd years ago. I hope that you are able to take…
In high school, I was a nerd, some may argue that nothing has changed… I surrounded myself with all things sci-fi and fantasy, from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings to superheroes and vampire slayers. I wore those interests on my sleeve, and most of us in my youth group did the same. We…
G’day everyone, Recently Gin and I and the kids were blessed to spend some time in Australia’s eastern most island, New Zealand. What a place. Not a bad view anywhere you looked. Towering snow capped mountains, clear blue lakes and running rivers, so much nature!!! I’m not sure why they are all wanting to come…
Hello church family, What an amazing time it has been over this Christmas holiday season. Hope you all have had some time to spend with your families but most importantly to reflect on the birth of Jesus. It may seem a bit cliché but the truth is still the same, that He is the reason…

Hi everyone, As you know recently my brother Matthew has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. It was a bit of a shock when we heard the news. Emotions ran free. Questions were asked. And many a prayer was (and still are being) uttered. It is difficult to know exactly what to say and think when…
I love Christmas! It still brings joy, people seem friendlier, families get together when possible, and the Church family get to invite friends and neighbours to the “non-threatening” times of celebration.
