Church notes – Grain Shed

Grain Shed

WELL, can you believe it? November is here and Christmas is getting closer, 52 days away.

It is harvest time, too. Be encouraged to pray for all the farmers who are busy getting their crop in, their families and all our local businesses in our community.

Friday night Grain Shed Youth meet from 7pm to 9pm.

Come along on Sunday, invite a friend, for our 10am service. Afterwards, we invite you to stay in fellowship with a drink and bite to eat.

The Grain Shed Kids desk is open from 9.45am.

On Monday, please take note that there will be no mainly music.

On Thursday, the craft ladies, armed with coffee, meet from 10am to 12pm.

Save the date on Sunday, November 12: Farewell Pastor Ian Cartmel and welcome our senior Pastors Shane and Emily Westblade with their family. We will be sharing a Canadian buffet lunch after the service.

November 21-23.

If you have some time up your sleeve, all volunteers are welcome to help with the Hampers of Hope at the Grain Shed.

We have 1000 boxes to be packed which will be going out into the community to those in need. If you would like to make a financial donation, the account details are

Careworks Community Funds. BSB: 703 810. Account: 0530 0526.

“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” 1 Timothy 6:18
