2025 Compassion Christmas Appeal
This Christmas, we're supporting Compassion's Mums and Babies project – a life-saving initiative which equips new and expectant mothers with critical care and guidance from pregnancy through their child’s first year. Your gift will help fund vital maternal and infant health care in a developing country, reducing child mortality and ensuring mothers receive the support they need to give their babies the best possible start in life.
It costs $15,000 to fully fund a Mums and Babies project for one year – so every contribution makes a difference.
Thank you for your generosity!

(arrive 5:15pm for a 5:30pm start, finishing around 8pm).
We’ll be watching Sight & Sound Theatre’s spectacular filmed stage production of David – the shepherd, warrior, poet, and king whose greatest battle was the one within.
There’ll be a 30-minute intermission (6:30-7:00pm) with finger foods provided (meat pies, sausage rolls, mini quiches, etc).
The event is free and suitable for adults and children aged 10 and up.* Please register by 4 December for catering purposes.
*The David and Bathsheba episode is handled sensitively and is suitable for children to watch. There are some battle scenes, though not overly graphic, so it may be best if kids are age 10 and up. Parents may use their own discretion, however.

Have you ever thought that God sees conflict as a beautiful opportunity? God has a surprising way for his people to face conflict that richly glorifies him, and grows us. This four-week course gives us great opportunity to learn how to be God's person in a conflict situation.
STREAMED SERVICE
It is not possible for our members to attend our church services at this time. For this reason we are providing a pre-recorded service each week for viewing online. We encourage you and your family to watch these pre-recorded services together.
As we believe it is best practice (in normal circumstances) for believers to meet face-to-face, we do not plan to maintain this service beyond the current COVID-19 outbreak.
