Love Thy Neighbour and help Aussies in need

When Perri fractured her leg, her world turned upside down. Out of work for 18 months due to injury, her savings ran out and she didn’t know where her next meal was going to come from. Perri discovered a local ADRA project near her home, run by the local Adventist Church. “I got bags and bags of groceries that I wouldn't have been able to buy,” Perri says. When you support the ADRA Appeal, you are answering God’s command to Love Thy Neighbour by helping Aussies in need. Donate now at adra.org.au/appeal

Our church is open each Tuesday for prayer from

Drop in at any time through the day to have some ‘still’ time, to pray by yourself, or have the PrayerWorks team pray with you over your prayer needs.

As well as the church being open all day, prayer meetings will be held from 1:00pm-2:00pm and 5:30pm-6:30pm each Tuesday.

Jesus has promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20 NKJV.) Be part of the blessing Jesus imparts as we gather to pray in His name for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, for revival, and for the many needs in our homes and communities.

Hi Church Family, 

Hello Church Family… it’s the sixth day in our “40 Days of Prayer … Reflecting on the Cross of Christ.” Praying that each of us will experience a deeper understanding of God’s love for us personally, and be overwhelmed by this gift. And that God’s incredible love for the lost will impact us as we pray faithfully for the 5 people in our lists. 

Each day please add to the suggested “Prayer Focus” for the day the Faith FM “Dinner With Robbie” planned for listeners on Thursday 26 Oct, followed by the “Prophecy Masterclass” on 27-29 Oct. 

If you haven’t found a prayer partner yet, or have any questions about the “40 Days” text or call Shirley on 0405 645 016. 

“May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Eph 3:19 NLT
