Ministries during Coronavirus restrictions – December 2020 Update

by

Under current Stage 6 Queensland Government restrictions, we are permitted to have up to 1 person per 2m2 attending worship services or other gatherings at the Church Hall. Generally, this means regular attendees plus some visitors can be accommodated.

We continue to hold bible studies on Wednesday evenings and Prayer Meetings on Sunday mornings at 9am before our worship service.

Sunday School has now concluded for the year and is not held over the school summer holiday period. We anticipate classes will resume in early 2021.

Some activities are still restricted and we have accordingly modified our practices around serving of food and drinks:

  • Morning Tea: we are unable to serve morning tea, however we still have a time of fellowship from 10-10:30am between the Prayer Meeting and Worship Service for a BYO morning tea.
  • First Sunday Lunch: we would ‘normally’ hold a shared meal fellowship lunch on the first Sunday. Instead of a shared lunch, per Government restrictions this is currently a BYO lunch, with family groups sitting together and/or smaller groups spread in our various areas outside. If you would like to join us on the first Sunday, please bring your own lunch and accept our apologies that we can’t offer hospitality.

Should restrictions change we will modify gatherings and events accordingly. Please contact us for any current updates or check back here regularly. Thank you.

Ministries during Coronavirus restrictions – Updated June 2020

by

With the recent announcements by the Queensland Government of the early implementation of Stage 2 easing, we are recommencing public meetings at Everton Park.

Per the Government requirements, our meetings will be with limited numbers (currently max 20 people). Meetings at the hall are currently planned to include Tuesday and Wednesday Bible Studies, and two (duplicate) services on Sunday for worship. These multiple events will help more people to be able to join in person. However, for any who are unwell, or who are otherwise unable to be with us in person, we will continue to provide a digital ministry via SermonAudio and are trialling also live-streaming services.

If you would like to attend either a Bible Study or our Sunday Worship service, please contact us so that we can confirm your interest and coordinate numbers at the hall. If you would like the details of the Sunday live-stream, please also contact us and we will send necessary links.

Ministries during Coronavirus restrictions

Due to recent Australian government requirements introduced to restrict indoor gatherings, including places of worship, we are suspending our public worship services and meetings at Everton Park.

We will continue to seek opportunities to minister to one another, encourage one another and build each other up, however these may of necessity take different forms for the immediate future. Our plans for alternatives to public meeting currently include:

  • Sunday worship services will be available pre-recorded in audio and video format. These will be provided through our SermonAudio feed for download by each Sunday and are linked below.
  • Bible studies will be trialled via video conference link-up. Depending on the success of this we may continue as one or a few smaller groups meeting together via virtual presence.
  • Pastoral ministry may be impacted by the practical restrictions of social distancing and limiting our movement and contact with each other. Callum will be contacting people directly to discuss this.
  • Sunday School material is being provided to parents to continue teaching and training their children. Current or past Sunday School material can be made available for others who may want to use it.
  • Social and service activities are suspended until further notice.

While we may be isolated, we can be greatly encouraged and encouraging through prayer. Please continue to pray:

  • for one another for spiritual strength and growth, despite the circumstances that limit our physically meeting together.
  • for those who are isolated by current events and seek to reach out to encourage them by maintaining regular contact.
  • for our members working in healthcare, that they would be able to provide good care for those in need and that they would be kept safe.
  • for those in authority over us making decisions and seeking to lead our State and country, that they would have wisdom and humility in their responsibilities.
  • that though these uncertain and disruptive times, the recognition of our lack of control over things, and the reminder of our mortality that it would cause all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

  • Prayer as the lungs of God’s people
  • Fellowship as the beating heart of the church

Welcome!

Welcome. If you’re looking for a church home, would like to know more about Christianity, or are temporarily in the area, we invite you to come and visit.

At our church we aim to bea warm community of people that worship and serve God, and make Him known through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our worship is simple and uncluttered, including prayer, a mix of old and new songs, usually a kids talk and always a talk explaining the Bible. We aim for clear, practical Bible teaching which leads us to God, through Christ. We are Reformed and Evangelical.

We cherish our diversity as people, and our unity in Christ, meeting together as a whole group, young and old. We seek to look out for each other and support each other in all the problems that we face in life.

We are not perfect; we are all sinners. But because of Jesus, we are forgiven!
