Connect Groups
Have you ever wanted to ask questions?
Are you longing for better connection with God and others?
A Connect Group may be what you’re looking for! Connect Groups are small groups that meet for a couple of hours each week in order to connect to God and connect to each other. We connect to God by learning from the Bible through discussion and questions and through prayer. We connect to each other through chatting, caring and building friendships.

Women Serving Christ Conference
We had our third annual WSC conference which was a real joy. There were around 150 women and Lindi spoke so faithfully from 1 Peter on Suffering. We also had some interesting elective topics including one I did on Wrestling with God Through Disappointment. It was a really amazing one to prepare and I had grown a lot personally. It was great to chat to women about disappointments they face and what it means to trust and follow God even when struggling.
It was wonderful seeing all the female staff using their gifts: admin, hospitality, teaching, organisation, and pastoral care to make the day a success! I work with some wonderful women!
Alchemy choir

Operation Christmas Child
OCC is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It is a hands-on way for you to bless children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and fun gifts. They collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.
The mission of OCC is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
You can participate by packing boxes, donating items for others to use, or donating money towards delivery costs for boxes packed by Kids Church and Youth Group. Donations can be given to Christine Bernays. You can go to their website to read stories or watch videos. We have 200 preprinted boxes waiting to be filled. How many will you pack? The final day will be 20 October.
Kairos Prison Ministry
Kairos reaches into prisons to touch the lives of men (and women) with the knowledge and love of Jesus. We meet with the men every 2 weeks to share a Bible message and worship songs and some (hopefully homemade) biscuits. Once a year, (September 2nd this year), we go into the prison for a week of ministry called the "Short Course". 18 men will join us for the week to hear who Jesus is and what He has done for them and us all.
There is an opportunity to be a part of this week of ministry by:
1. Praying for the men, the ministry team and giving thanks for access to the prison.
2. Making biscuits and slices to share with the men - we need about 300 dozen.
3. Writing letters
4. Attending the graduation ceremony on Friday September 6th
Guidelines for how to contribute are available at the back of the church. Together we can bring AGAPE love to the men inside!
Compassion Trip - 21-28 May 2025
One of the goals of our Parish Strategic Vision is to go on a short term mission trip with Compassion Australia to Indonesia. In exciting news, Compassion Australia has given early notice of a churches visit to Compassion partner churches in Manado, Indonesia (our area) next year. The dates are 21 – 28 May 2025. Flyers should come out sometime next month with further details. This is a key opportunity to visit our sponsor children together. If you are interested, please reserve the date. More details to follow.
If you are interested in sponsoring a child with Compassion please hold off from sponsoring until Spiro from Compassion visits our parish on the 8th and 11th of December. He will be bringing profiles of unsponsored children from our partner churches in Manado...so that you can sponsor...and then go visit them.
