“Let’s press on in faith!”

It's farewell time!

It is never easy to say "Good-bye" to those whom we

have come to love and treasure. In the last 12

months, we have had to farewell quite a number of

dear friends. Now, as a church family, we are once again offering our

blessings to other friends who are leaving us for distant places.

Next Sunday 18th March we are having a special farewell luncheon to

express our thanks and to wish God's blessing on Bruce, Sue and Paul

Honeybun as they leave us for a brand new chapter of their lives in Darwin, Mark and Alex Westlake as they head for a wonderful adventure

at the El Questro Station in the Kimberlies of WA, and Graham Dart as

he and Lyn move to Horsham for a new work assignment.

We acknowledge with gratitude to God all that these

good friends have meant to us - all greatly loved and

appreciated. Please be with us at the luncheon when we

will be able to express our thanks and offer our prayers

for these brothers and sisters in Jesus.

Our Monthly Prayer Afternoon

TODAY 4:30 - 6:00pm at the Hall

Everyone is welcome to join us this afternoon for our special monthly prayer

time. Please bring a plate of finger-food to share in a friendly and informal

Tea which begins at 6:00pm after our time of prayer.
