G’day Church, I want to thank you for your generosity in giving money for Glen and Suthida Westwood last month. What a great thing to be a blessing to this family as they serve overseas in Asia. I hope you are enjoying the sermons on Hebrews 11 the last couple of months. This month we…
Hello church family. With all that is going on this month in the church I just wanted to share something small that happened during the week. While I do believe that the convention that is held up here this month, Gary’s retirement and Josh’s ordination are all special events and they should be celebrated, we…
Lately I have been challenged by this idea of the need to protect your heart even when fully involved in where God calls you. What does it even mean to protect or care for your heart? For the longest time, I thought that simply meant praying or reading my Bible a little more than usual…
Hello church family. For those that have not noticed, the name of the afternoon program (formally known as Bean Bag) has changed. The name J.A.M (Jesus and Me) has given direction and focus to the program and although it has only been changed this term, there are positives that are evident already. The ministry already…

Hi Church, I wonder if you watched the Commonwealth Games recently. It seems that Cairns was abuzz with Games fever. Us Aussies did really well and some of our athletes performed out of their skin. The Games were not without controversy – a couple of transgender athletes, nightclub fights and a handful of athletes disappearing…
Hello church family. This year is passing by so fast, but I hope it’s not too fast to focus on the important things in life. In Kids Church we will be focusing on the book of Genesis for the entire term. This is a great way to lay the foundations of the simple truths of…
Hi Church and Happy May! Rose, myself and our progeny (not a word we hear often enough…) have just returned from a couple of weeks off and the last spent at the Big 4 Whitsunday Resort just outside Airlie Beach and it was a great time!!! What a great park, with great stuff to do…
Hi Church, Thanks for another opportunity to share with you again in the Connections. Welcome to you if you are also visiting with us. I trust you have a warm experience as you worship and fellowship with us. Well the series on ‘Change’ has come and gone and I have appreciated the positive feedback from…
