Christmas Carols at Oak Flats

Tonight we’re opening our doors at 5pm for a night of Christmas Carols, with a free sausage sizzle. Invite your friends for this great night of singing and sharing about the saviour of the world!

Christmas Day at 9am

Join us at the special time of 9am on Christmas Day for an all-age, community celebration of the birth of Jesus!

Last day for Lydia

This Thursday 24th December is Lydia Milliken’s last day as our church secretary. We give thanks to God for her service over the past twelve years, and pray for her as she increases her role in the family business.

Personal Assistant appointed

We are delighted to announce that Valerie O’Regan has accepted our invitation to be the ‘Personal Assistant (PA) to the Senior Minister’. This new-look role is for the equivalent of four days per week. She will begin this role on the 25th January.

McNeills away

Jodie and his family will be on leave from the afternoon of 25th December, and will return on 7th January. Graham Errington will be leading our parish during this time.

Summer Sermons

During the five Sundays after Christmas, we will be hearing from a range of local and guest preachers on a variety of topics, before we commence a new sermon series in Term One. Next Sunday we welcome Graham Errington as our preacher.
