Church News for Sunday 2nd February 2025
Sunday’s Sermon
This Sunday we are going to be hearing from God’s word as Tony Galea preaches to us from Mark 4 about ’The Sower King’.
School’s Out Kids In (SOKI)
We are currently doing ‘Schools Out, Kid’s In’ (SOKI). This means we are a church striving to be intergenerational during the school holidays.
What to expect?
You will see simple changes like the language used, the variety of ages up front and behind the scenes, creative prayers, and a fun segment to prepare everyone for the sermon. This is to help each member of your household come out knowing Jesus bigger and better than before 🙂
Some of our families from church have some great practical tips to help your household throughout this service!
- We only have one TV. screen to read from. Sitting towards the front has been helpful so even my little ones can see and join in easily.
- Our church really means it when they say they don’t mind noise or when they get their wiggles out by going up and down the aisle.
- I love how we are free to chat to our kids throughout the service as needed so we can re-interpret anything they do not understand or have questions about.
Friday Kids and Youth
Each Friday we meet for our kids and youth groups of SPARK (Years 3 to 6) at 4:30-6pm, and Youth Group (Years 7 to 12) from 7-9pm at the church hall. Resuming Friday 7th February.

Church Giving
Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. For last month, our average weekly giving was $5509.00, leaving a gap of $791.00.
Up to the end of last month, we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $289,623, leaving a gap of $-16,623.
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.
