It is with sadness and hope that I (Steve) have decided to close the Saturday Family Church service.
Firstly, to those who have prayed for, supported, attended and assisted with this congregation, we are deeply grateful.
The reality is that this service worked for a time and that season has now passed.
We have some young families coming along to our Sunday morning (9am) service, so we will make some adjustments to the 9am service to accommodate younger ears and hands.
Our commitment to ministry to young families will continue in our Holiday Program, Community Carols, and in pursuing options in 2016 for children's Christian education in the wake of the shock Victorian government axing of SRI (formerly CRE) from classrooms.
Plus we will run one-off activities that were also part of our Saturday 5pm experience, such as water fight nights, bonfires and marshmallows, and BBQ's. Stay tuned for invitations and adventures to come.
