Church news for the week beginning 29th October 2016

This weekend Jodie continues our series on the Old Testament book of Job, with the title, ‘Mythbusting Apologetics’ from chapters 27 to 28.
Mission of the month: Anglicare
Anglicare is our mission of the month. Support this ministry through the ‘Mission Table’ in the Hall.
National Church Life Survey
This weekend we will be conducting the National Church Life Survey (NCLS). .
The purpose of the NCLS is to help churches to be more vital and effective. Through the survey our churchgoers will be able to give their thoughts, opinions and experiences of church life. The survey provides valuable feedback that enables leaders at local, regional and national levels to evaluate and plan for the future.
Our church’s contribution will form an important part of the national snapshot of the whole Australian Church.
