The Alpha Course

 The world famous Alpha course is designed to help people to examine the foundation of the Christian faith. It is ideal for both those who have been church goers for many years and those who are recently considering the Christian faith.

It is a course of about 12 sessions and we run it at least once a year.

If you want to re-explore the Christian faith or build those foundations then this is the course for you.

We encourage all those wishing to be baptised or have their children baptised to do the Alpha course first as a way of preparation and introduction.

 

 The Opportunity Shop    

We are one of five churches involved in this ministry in the community and a number of our members are volunteers throughout the year. The shop is on the Main Road near Durham Street. People donate clothes and other items which are sold very cheaply and the proceeds are used in the further ministry of those five churches.

 

Pop into the shop for more information.

 

 

Super Meals

As part of our commitment and outreach to the older members of the community we plan a large dinner to cater up to 100 people about three to four times a year.

We encourage members of the congregation to invite friends and neighbours in the community who have perhaps lost touch with the church or stopped coming years ago and anyone on the edge of the church family or simply those with no church connection.

We celebrate the major seasons in the church calendar such as a meal around Christmas time and another around Easter and another around our Matronal Festival in August and then hopefully another in the year at some point.

This is a real mission outreach opportunity to the older members in the community and often serviced by the older members as well through the kitchen.

On the occasion we invite some of the youth connected with the church to serve at the tables, we have a few hymns or carols and a short talk or presentation on the gospel theme for the occasion.

It’s a great way of developing further contact with those just outside the edge of the church.

 

 

 

 

Bible in School

 

We support this valuable ministry in many schools, to teach and encourage some of the basic historic biblical stories to our young children. This is totally a volunteer organization for both those offering this ministry and also for those receiving it. Many of our moral values in society have in the past come from a biblical world view which has shaped our understanding of justice, morality, faithfulness and forgiveness. Without these basic principles people look elsewhere for guiding principles and often feel lost in the world.

This ministry helps to introduce young people to the biblical God and clarify the foundations of spiritual awareness and understanding.

 

 

 

Anglican Literacy Programme

 

To help encourage literacy in primary schools. Volunteer adults go into schools to listen to children read at the request of the school. A number of our congregation volunteer in this way and we are always looking for more adults to act as volunteers. We are also open to hear from more schools who would like help from this valuable literacy support programme.

Overseas Mission Support

We send most of our mission support money to the Anglican Missions Board for the collective support of many overseas missions and missionaries. On top of that we do also support other local and national missions and charities of course the occasional disaster relief fund.
