Church News for Sunday May 18th
Service Times
Please join us on for fellowship on Sunday morning at 9am or Sunday afternoon at 4pm.
Sunday’s Sermon
This weekend we are going to be hearing from God’s word as Tony Galea preaches to us from 1 John 2 with the title “Truth About Christ.”
Kid’s Church
During the sermon all children are welcome to head across to the hall for Kids Church, where the teaching will follow the same pattern as the sermon series.
Friday Kids and Youth
Each Friday during term 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.
Are You Able to Help?
The Anglican Church of Melanesia, Bishop James Tama (Bishop of Central Vanuatu and Noumea) and his wife
are asking if they could spend 2 months of their Sabbatical Leave in NSW and the Sydney Diocese. If you have a
spare bedroom, or a unit, or a cottage (can be on the coast) that is free, and available for a couple of weeks or a
month I would love to hear from you. The Bishop’s stipend in Vanuatu is very different to Australian standards.
He is not able to pay for the accommodation.
Please speak to Tony Galea, or June Bock.
Helpers Needed
We are in need of some volunteers for operating the Slides at church! No expertise required, talk to Tony if you’re keen.
