Pastors Letter

G’day church, Just a few things to update you on this week: CMS Online dinner is on next Wednesday, 24th. A couple of Growth Groups are gathering for it, or please feel free to join our bring and share dinner at the Holdfast Bay Community Centre. We’ll be in the Grace Benny Room (where Minis are on Sundays – accessed by the southern car park), arriving ready for dinner at…

Hi All, I hope your week’s been a good one and you’ve been able to keep warm (and dry!). At my end I’ve been busy getting ready for the Adelaide Uni and UniSA Mid Year Conference Next week. Do be praying for the 90 students who’ll be away for four nights learning about the topic “Union With Christ”. We can also be thankful for how well…

G’day Church, This Sunday is our last week in the book of Exodus. It’s been an amazing journey that we started out on last year with lessons of God’s faithfulness and power to rescue, and continued this year with his kindness to provide and to be present. I wonder what has stood out to you the most over the time we’ve spent in this wonderful book? Coming…

G’day Church, I’m not sure how the end of financial year impacts your thinking. For some of us it rolls on by without much significance, for others it is a peak season of thinking through finances, budgets, savings plans and tax.

Hi All, I’m looking forward to being together this Sunday as we continue through the book of Exodus and focus in on the famous “10 Commandments”. If you’re heading away for the long weekend I hope you have a great time of rest and enjoying God’s world. After Sunday my family and I are heading away on a week of leave as well and then…

G’day church, Here are 5 reasons we’re passionate about our partnership with the Bible College of SA: In Exodus 20:3, God says “You shall have no other gods before me” so we need a college that will equip church leaders to make the one true God known. We live in a mixed-up world with beautiful diversity and terrible conflict, so we need a college that will train…

G’day Church, It’s great to be back on deck after a couple of weeks of leave to refresh. And I gather it’s been a really encouraging couple of Sundays at church, hearing about the work that God is doing in bringing people to Jesus on our university campuses and across rural Australia. Well, it’s no accident that this Sunday we’ll be broadening our horizons even…
