Sunday School – New Format

We will soon be combining our Sunday School with Smithton Outreach Sunday School (SOS). It will take place each Sunday from 11am-12:15pm and will include Bible lessons, games, crafts, singing, and loads of fun and laughter.

The launch date is set for the 18th of April, and you are warmly invited to join us for a family lunch afterward. For more information, please contact our family worker, Ali MacDonald.

Wilsons’ Newsletter

Jenny Wilson has been kind enough to send us her updated newsletter, straight from South Africa and hot off the press! Here is an excerpt:

We continue to be grateful to God as a family for the work he has directed us to do. We often find that we feel swamped by the size of the task, and when we do, we realise we have taken our eyes off the Lord. So often at the end of the day, we look back at the things that have taken place and marvel at how God has managed and worked everything out for good.

You can read the rest of the newsletter by downloading the PDF file here.

AGM Date Change

Please note that the Annual Congregational Meeting has been moved to Wednesday 21 April.

Audio/Video for 28 February

We apologise, but there were technical difficulties in recording the sermons for 28 February. The video recorded, but there was no audio. We will be doing everything in our power to recover the audio. Thank you for your patience.

Road to Recovery

Road to Recovery is a course for those who have suffered from alcohol and/or drug addictions and need practical support and care. This is done through one-on-one counseling, group meetings, family support, and ongoing aftercare. Meetings will be on Monday nights, fortnightly, at 7:30pm in the church building. The first meeting will be Monday 29 February. For more information, please contact Charlie.
