OUR SERMON

This weekend we will be hearing from God’s word as Jodie McNeill preaches to us from 1 Corinthians 4:1-13 on ‘True Apostleship’.

CHURCHILL CAROLS

This Christmas Eve 24th December we’d love you to bring your friends and family to carols! Come along at 5pm for a free sausage sizzle with all-age outdoor games, then at 6pm we’re gathering for an hour-long, all-age carols service on the lawn, followed by gingerbread cookies and supper, plus more outdoor games.

TOYS AND TUCKER

Please consider partnering with Anglicare for their annual Toys ’n’ Tucker appeal. Everything is online this year and it’s easy to help out. Gifts are purchased through the online store. Anglicare then collects the gifts and distributes them for you! You can purchase a gift from the online store here.

MORNING PRAYER

Join us at 7 am every day (except Sunday) at zoom.jamberooanglican.com as we gather to read the Bible, pray, and encourage each other as the new day dawns.

DECEMBER & JANUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH

‘Enjoying God’ By Tim Chester.

We believe in God, we serve God, we trust God, but would we say that we enjoy God on a day to day basis?

What exactly does a personal relationship with God look like, and how is it even possible?

Tim Chester shows us how we can enjoy God in every moment of every day, whether we are experiencing good times or hard times; whether we are changing diapers, or stuck on a train. He explores how the Father, the Son and the Spirit relate to us in our day-to-day lives, and how to respond.

We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall. However, if you wish to order your own copy online or read via Kindle, you can do that here.
