Currently meeting at 14 Shire Street 10.30am due to a broken truss
10th November: Who Belongs?
Big Idea: We need to decide that we want to be a part of God’s people and learn to respond to the mercy Jesus offers in faithfulness, so that, rather than being destroyed, we enjoy the benefits of relationship with him now and look forward to sharing His kingdom with Jesus.
Outline:
• The Gibeonites are desperate to be a part of God’s people so God allows this despite their methods.
• The rest of the surrounding peoples decide to oppose God’s people and are therefore destroyed.
• The Israelites learn to be strong and courageous as when they are faithful to God, he provides for them and hands their enemies over to them.
Readings:
Luke 9:43-56
Joshua 9:1-27

Services and Building Project
We are now meeting at 10.30 at the chapel at 14 Shire Street due to the church building not currently being usable. This is due to a broken truss in the roof.
There is a building project happening, which will cost around $450,000. Details, updates and the way to contribute are on the Building Project page.
Events
Every Sunday Church Service at 10.30am at 14 Shire St
Sunday 1st December Youth Service
Sunday 15th December The Lord’s Supper
We encourage children to be a part of our services. We sometimes hold children’s services, where they take an active part in the services often including acting out the readings and the address is focused at them. Otherwise services always contain a youth talk and when we can we provide a Sunday school during the sermon.
Growth Groups
We’re convinced that growing as disciples of Jesus happens as the Holy Spirit works among us, through God’s Word. Our Bible Study Groups are a place where get together to study God’s Word in an informal setting with a small number of people, and to think through the implications for our lives. We ask questions, help one another understand the Bible and pray. They’re a supplement to our regular Sunday gatherings that help us live for Jesus throughout the whole week and build relationships among God’s people.
There are currently two groups meeting both in the Manse (23 Court Street). These are:
- Thursday Evenings from 6.30pm with dinner provided
- Fridays 11.00am to 12.00
