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.

Used stamps can be donated and placed in the white Mission box in the foyer.

Call to Prayer

Our Call to Prayer gatherings is back! We would love you to join us.

As a church family, let's come together to seek God's leading, wisdom, and guidance for the life and ministry of our church. There are great encouragement and strength in praying together, and everyone is welcome.

We hope to see you there as we seek the Lord with one heart and one purpose.

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!

Please contact the church office if you are feeling called to serve in this way.

RSVP your attendance on the list in the foyer, to reserve your seat.

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. 😊

Offering Envelopes: Offering envelopes are available in the foyer if you would like to give to the Benevolent Fund. Alternatively, if giving via electronic transfer, please use the reference "Benevolent Fund Donation" so your gift can be allocated correctly. Thank you for your generosity and support of this important ministry.

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)


  • Read Exodus 19:5-6 & 1 Peter 2:9-10
    • Marvel that we who believe in Jesus are described as the fulfilment of God's promise to Israel: to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
    • Give thanks that, through Jesus, God has secured our place in His everlasting kingdom.
    • Praise God that, even as earthly powers rise and fall, His kingdom remains firm and immovable. Whatever circumstances we face, our security in Him is sure—both now and forever.
    • Thank God that, through Christ, we have been made holy and brought into a right relationship with Him. Because of His grace, we can come before Him with confidence. Pray that He would shape our daily choices so that our lives reflect that holiness.
    • Ask God to deepen in us (personally and as a church) a desire to pray that many more would come to trust in Jesus.
  • Pray for our church leaders (Pastor's, Church Council, Ministry Coordinators etc.)
    • Ask God to give them wisdom, hearts that are devoted to Christ, love for those they lead, and joy in His service.
  • Pray for our outreach and gospel opportunities we have among those who do noy yet believe.
    • Pray for Play Time, Craft Plus, Kid's Club & Youth group.
    • Pray for our Community Carols coming up on December 6th
    • Pray for Christianity Explored, and for our Catering Trailer Team.
    • Ask God to use each opportunity to make Jesus known clearly and faithfully.
  • Pray for our Discipleship Groups.
  • Pray for more volunteers to join our sound, media and music teams.
  • Pray for God to raise up some more folk who are willing to serve on our Church Council.
  • Pray for the GriefShare course on Thursdays.
  • Pray for those who are unwell, have medical needs, or are awaiting (or recovering from) surgery.
  • Pray for a friend, family member, colleague or neighbour who does not know Jesus.


We give as an act of worship, with thankful hearts for all that God has given to us. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give (2 Cor. 9:7). Thank you for your faithful generosity and support of the ministry of our church.
