16th August 2026
Welcome to church this Sunday! It is
wonderful to gather together as God’s
family, and we pray that you will be
encouraged and blessed as we worship,
fellowship and learn together.
This week we continue our study in Ezra,
with Study 5 from Ezra 6. We look forward
to exploring God’s faithfulness and His
work among His people.
Please be praying for Pastor Dave, who
will be away from Friday, 14 August to
Tuesday, 25 August attending a Pastors
Retreat. Please pray for all the pastors
attending, that this time will be one of
genuine rest, refreshment and
encouragement as they take time away from
their usual responsibilities.
We also extend our deepest sympathy to
the Young family following the passing of
our dear prayer warrior, Jim Young, who
went to be with his Heavenly Father last
Thursday. Jim was a faithful man of prayer
and will be greatly missed. Please
continue to keep the Young family in your
prayers, asking God to surround them with
His comfort, peace and strength during
this time of loss.
May we continue to encourage one another,
pray for one another and faithfully point
each other to Christ.

Playground Fence Working Bee – Volunteers
Needed
We'd love your help on Saturday, 22nd
Aug, from 7:30 am – 11:30 am as we extend
the fence around our playground
area.
If you're available to lend a hand,
whether for the whole morning or just part
of it, we would greatly appreciate your
help. Many hands make light work, and your
support will help us create a safer and
more enjoyable space for the children and
families who use our facilities.
Thank you in advance to everyone who is
able to come along and serve in this
practical way!

are feeling called to serve in this

Chair Reupholstery Working Bee – This
Saturday!
Join us this Saturday from 10:00 am –
12:00 pm as we continue making great
progress on reupholstering our church
chairs.
Every week we are so encouraged by
everyone who comes along to help, thank
you! While it's true that it's a little
messy, hard work, and perhaps not
everyone's favourite job, it's also a
wonderful opportunity to enjoy fellowship,
share a few laughs, and work together as a
church family. Every pair of hands makes a
difference!
We'd love to see you there. 😊

But you are a chosen people, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, God’s
special possession, that you may
declare the praises of him who called you
out of darkness into his wonderful
light. Once you were not a people,
but now you are the people of
God; once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NIV)
