In term 4 we will be exploring the Acts of Jesus by the Spirit, through the first 9 chapters of Acts.

Our small groups will look through the text, Acts 1-9, during the week PRECEDING our Sunday service. So when we gather on Sunday to hear God’s word proclaimed, we will have already engaged with the Scripture and thought through some of the key points / implications.

The content should provide for around 30 minutes of reading / engagement / discussion; but obviously this can grow / be tailored as your group needs. Allow time each week for gathering, sharing – building community – as well as praying over the week that was and for opportunities for the week ahead.

We will be following the material provided by the Bible Project. It is crowdfunded endeavour. Anyone who wishes to support the bible project – and I encourage you to do so – can give online as they are able. Each week there are resources picked from their website – articles, bible readings, videos and questions which you’re encouraged to engage in (you might like to do this in your own time) – you may even like to listen to the podcast series on the book of Acts as you commute to and from work (or potter in the garden).

Our reason for wanting to utilise these resources in the life of our communities is simple

1) to help people grow in their knowledge of Scripture and apply them in life

2) to illustrate what a great resource this is and encourage people to not only utilise it, but support it.

Community Helping Hand is one way we can connect with our local Community by offering Help, using our Hands and Hearts. It seems incredible that in our community there are some people who don’t have homes but sleep in our parks, and that there are people who have to come here for food. What we offer is not fancy gourmet food, but basic things: baked beans, rice, noodles, milk, tea bags, toothpaste, etc. As well as offering bags of food, may we care for these people with our prayers, and be mindful of these people on the sidelines of our community.

We offer the food hamper service as an Emergency Relief Basis and the hours of service are as follows.

Monday and Thursday 9.00m - 12 noon (only)
