Ps Mel wraps up our 'Let it Shine' series. She reminds us that the reason we are doing this is to show others Jesus. To shine our light in the community, and to give God the glory. Together, we want to continue reaching out into our community to show people how loved they are by God.

Ps Mel launched our Serve Month with our brand-new series, ‘Let it Shine’.

Ps Paul wraps up our series on relationships by looking at both singleness and marriage. He shares how both are valuable gifts from God, each serving a unique purpose in a Christian's life. Those who are single are still just as important, and God can use this in great ways. Paul also shares about marriage and God’s original intention for this. The ideal of what God wanted it to be, and how it is built on making a commitment of faith.

Nathan continues our relationships series by bringing an important message on offence and relational hurt. He brings encouragement for all of us, that we have a loving God who sees and who wants to bring healing. We all need to watch our hearts so that when hurt happens, we don’t take offence.

Ps Mel begins our new series on relationships. It is our vertical relationship with God that helps us with our horizontal relationships with others. Ps Mel looks at both how we need to be peace makers, and to check our control. We all need face to face connection with others.

Ps Jess finishes our prayer series by teaching about hearing from God. Through practical steps of how to get ready to hear from God, she encourages us to get be ready to listen because God wants to speak. Our yes attracts the voice of God, and when we are willing, He will speak.

This week’s message looks at the prayer waiting room - the room of trust. We need to keep trusting God even when we can’t see how He is working. He has heard your prayers, and He is near. Know that your faith is not wasted in the waiting - it is built. Ps Mel also encourages us that Jesus is praying for and with us.
