A P R I L
We had a busy start to the month with Easter weekend, but it was an uneventful month overall.
✝️ Good Friday service- Elder Joshua Courtis preached on the loving sacrifice Jesus made for us, and we enjoyed hot cross buns for morning tea.
🙌🏻 Easter Sunday service- Pastor Peter Roberts preached on the resurrection of Jesus and what that means for our salvation, and the kids had an egg hunt around the church grounds.
🌺 ANZAC Day- Our Little Ones Playgroup did some poppy crafting to commemorate the important occasion.

🏏 The men of our church had the second half of their cricket event. This time playing a match after our monthly fellowship lunch. The church enjoyed a BBQ and spread of salads, sides and desserts as we sat back and cheered them on.
🟣 Guardians - 10/105
🔴 Crusaders - 9/150*

💦 A family who have been attending for a little while now, got baptised. 🙌🏻 It is always an exciting service for our church.

🧺 The women had their first event and despite the rain, we had a wonderful time sharing food and laughing over games in the comfort of the church.

We kicked off the year with some exciting Sundays:
💦 8 people publicly declared their faith in Jesus through Baptism.
‘Peter replied, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”’ ~Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬
🤝 Many of our regulars became official members of our church.
‘And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.’ ~Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬
🇦🇺 We celebrated Australia Day with an afternoon of cricket, lawn games and of course a BBQ.
‘Righteousness exalts a nation…’ ~Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭34‬ ‭NIV‬‬
