Grain Shed

WINTER is definitely upon us and with it, some beautiful rain bringing relief to many a farmer in the area and our local businesses too.

Here at the Grain Shed, we are fully back in action with all our in-house activities operating for term three.

If you are interested in knowing what is happening at the Grain Shed and to listen to past sermons, take a look on our website, www.thegrainshed.churchcenter.com, or call reception on 5032 9449.

Grain Shed Youth Ministry is held every Friday night and is a place where high school students from Years 7-12 can come together to make friends, have fun, and explore what faith means in their lives.

We gather to play games, dive into meaningful discussions, and enjoy a range of exciting activities that make every week different.

Whether you’re looking to connect, grow, or just have a great time, this is a place where you can belong.

Check it out on our website mentioned above.

Tonight, from 6.30pm-9pm, our youth are holding a trivia night in support of the youth ministry here at the Grain Shed Church.

This will be a fun and family-friendly night and all are welcome, registered or not, with entry at $5 per person (we’ll place you on a table) or $30 per table (6-8 people).

Bring a plate of food to share. There will be a running raffle and silent auction with fantastic prizes donated by local businesses.

Our church service begins at 10am. Guest speaker Pastor Don Gall comes with a message in a new series on Ephesians.

Regulars, locals, visitors and those curious to know more about God, our doors are open to you all.

At the end of the service, stay for a coffee, we would love to have a chat with you.

From 9.45am, the Grain Shed Kids team are at the desk ready to welcome all kids from three through to Grade 6 and at pick-up time, smiles all around.

Every Monday and Thursday morning in school term, we run an interactive mainly music session for up attendees aged up to five year old with parents/carers.

Currently bookings are full for our Monday session, however Thursday, 9.30am, a few places are available. Register online on our website.
