Matthew 25

Doing the Matthew 25 Challenge has been a transforming experience for us as a family. It was a way for our children to realise that many people lack the basic necessities and that we should care for them.

And it raised our awareness of how lucky we are and how much more we can do for the people around us on a daily basis. – Donald, St Paul’s Church

We are excited to take on the Matthew 25 Challenge together and see how God works in our families and church.

Launching in two weeks! Sign up now by texting your first name to 2060.

ACTIV8 Term Three

ACTIV8 (activate) is a place where young people can come and have fun in a safe environment and make positive life choices. It could be a night where we end up making banana splits but also try and fit one back into its skin!!  Or it could be that we are racing up and down the auditorium trying to carry as many balloons as possible, or maybe even trying to shave one! ACTIV8 is a chance for young people to enjoy themselves and also start to grapple with the challenges of growing up as a young person today. We also look at topics as diverse as friendship, self-esteem and social justice.
