ONE Music Festival
ONE Music Festival is a wholistic family event aiming to bring different generations and denominations together to celebrate and experience Jesus in community. Children, youth groups and adults are all welcome. It will be running on the 16th of November at the Kiama Pavilion and showgrounds from 2pm – 9pm. Expect to see different bands, food trucks among other fun surprises. You can come for the whole event or part of it, your choice. Tickets are available now at onemusicfestival.com.
They also need Volunteers to help run the event!- More info on their website.
New Treasurer
Our Wardens are delighted to announce that Daniel Clarke has accepted the invitation to be our Treasurer. He was also elected to Parish Council.
McNeill Farewell – SAVE THE DATE
We will be holding a special, combined church service on Sunday 15th December at 4pm (which means we won’t meet on that day at 9am). Save the date and plan to attend this significant event in the life of our church.
Anglicare Toys ‘n’ Tucker
This Christmas, we’re collecting food and gifts for those who are doing it tough. Our partnership with Anglicare’s “Toys ‘n’ Tucker” aims to share the joy of Christmas with families who would otherwise go without. Last year Toys ‘n’ Tucker delivered 4,000 toy hampers and 5,000 gift hampers directly into the hands of our local community.
Even the smallest donation can make the biggest impact! Drop off your donations at the church hall through October.

Up to the end of last month, we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.
Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend.
