Ages 4+

Short, well produced, informative, fun.My 5yo loves Imagine This and, even though I’ve heard them all four times by now they’re still very good.If you’re wanting more questions from kids answered by people in the know then you may also like Curious Kids (not a podcast) https://theconversation.com/au/topics/curious-kids-36782

Ages 4+

Another ABC podcast, this one delves into the noises animals make. and is fun and informative.

Ages 4+

How to Connect During Social Distancing

We want to stick together as a community as much as we can throughout the social distancing policies brought about during the Covid-19 pandemic. Here are a few ways we are resourcing you in worship and how you can keep in touch.

Email / Facebook / Zoom / Website

We will use multiple platforms to communicate with you, if you don’t have a Facebook account you won’t need to, although it is a user friendly, easy way to stay in touch with the community as we live out our best isolated life.

We will also communicate via our community Email list, using the list to distribute our worship material and let you know of online gatherings and other community news.

Home Brewed Worship

We are creating worship resources to assist you to find space to worship, pray and study at home. These resources are being released weekly and will have resources for people of all ages.

If you’re doing these alone and would like to worship with another please pick up the phone or connect via video over the internet.

Every Sunday morning from 10:00am to 11:30am we will gather over Zoom for community morning tea, all are welcome.

For details on the morning tea, or if you need support please contact Darren Wright.

Faith Formation Resources

We have a growing list of resources for the community to explore your faith, either as a group (online), a household or individually. Be patient, we’re trying to figure out the best way of listing these for you at the moment.

Check out the Video Study series on this website for resources, for copyright reasons many of them are password protected, pease contact Darren for the password.

Or, if you like listening to people discuss issues of faith, theology, ethics or theology we have a growing list of podcasts for you to explore.

We also have a library of great books to read, if you’d love one dropped off please let Darren know and he’ll deliver a book direct to you.

We also have been collecting a number of spiritual practices for you to try out at home, at work or as you exercise during the week.

More Information about these coming soon:

  • Pastoral Care
  • Study Groups
  • Community Podcast: Why Christian? (prepare your testimony, because we’ll be inviting you to share yours with the community)
  • Prayer
  • Where do you see God at work?
