Welcome! to our Sunday Scattering online. Wherever you find yourself scattered, we pray you will be encouraged from God’s word throughout our Term 3 series ‘The Good News We Almost Forgot’.
This Sunday we open to Genesis 1 and John 14 to consider the most important doctrine we never think about. We’ll be asking the question: What does the Trinity have to do with relationships?
Following, is all the information you will need to be able to benefit from our scatterings this Sunday.

One to One Bible Reading
Church family members, of all ages, are discovering the benefits of reading the Bible one to one – some of us for the very first time. If you are looking for some direction to guide your one to one Bible reading, talk to your GC leaders about resources or drop in to the office and grab one of the bookmarks we’ve created with 6 simple but helpful questions:
- What do you like about this story & why?
- What questions might someone have about his story?
- What do you learn about people from this story?
- What do you learn about God (or Jesus) from this story?
- What do you want to keep thinking about this week?
- How will you respond in your thoughts, attitude or behaviour?
Keeping Our Distance
With Covid-19 restrictions easing, we still need to keep 1.5m distance between us and our visitors. Keep social distancing in mind when you send in your photos.
