[2 Peter 1 :3 -7]
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

Christmas Services
Can you believe it’s 7 weeks till Christmas!?
As a staff we have been looking at the Christmas season and the opportunities we will have to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. The challenges of COVID and the impact upon all families is another factor that we need to consider as we look to a Christmas with open borders, and many families already planning to travel interstate or have interstate family here.
With COVID restrictions having to wear a mask whilst singing we do not feel that Christmas Eve service would be enjoyable, therefore this year will be a Christmas Day service at 9.30am.
Carols event
This year we will not be having a public carols event due to Covid restrictions however we will be having an evening carols service and sausage sizzle for our congregation the weekend before Christmas where Phil Emery will be sharing a Christmas message with us.
