Currently meeting at 14 Shire Street 10.30am due to a broken truss
8th March: God Among Us
Big Idea: If the Israelites gave so much to have a God dwelling among them at a distance, how much more should we, who have his presence dwelling among us through his Spirit and can approach Him because of Jesus, respond generously using what we have for His Kingdom.
Outline:
• God wants us to worship Him by gathering with others as well as choosing willingly to give of our time and money.
• God enables us to obey Him and when we do this it leads to blessing and knowing His presence among us.
• God blessed the Israelites by dwelling among them but at a distance looking forward to Jesus dwelling among us and enabling us to approach God confidently.
Readings:
John 1:1-18
Exodus 35:1-16 & 40:34-38

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
