Currently meeting at 14 Shire Street 10.30am due to a broken truss
30th March: The Throne of Grace
Big Idea: Jesus was tempted in every way but chose to submit to God in obedience, going to the cross and dying for us, thereby bringing us eternal salvation, so we should confidently come before God seeking grace and mercy.
Outline:
• We should hold firmly to our faith, because Jesus who represents us before God, knows how we struggle with temptation and our weaknesses as he similarly was tempted but did not give way to it.
• In times of need we should confidently come before God knowing that He will provide us with the grace and mercy that we need.
• Jesus was made perfect and became the source of eternal salvation for us because he chose to be obedient and submit to suffering death for us.
Readings:
Psalm 110:1-7
Hebrews 4:14-5:10

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

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
