Current sermon series: Isaiah
Friend of Kings and their greatest critic; a faithful, committed, disciple of the Lord; chosen to be the Lord’s mouth in an age long gone. Yet seven hundred years after his death Isaiah’s prophesies were found to be the key to understanding Christ’s role and mission. Now, 2,700 years later his voice still speaks to disciples of the Lord. This term we will hear some of that message in our weekly sermons and our small groups. You can download the program for term 3 here.
Change to AM Church meetings- 12th & 19th Sept
Due to our church weekends away, there will be only one AM church meeting on the 12th and 19th of September. However, you are more than welcome to join us at Morisset for that morning or to visit Church@5 that will meet at Berkeley High at 5pm as an alternative to your normal AM church meeting.
Church@5 has moved!
Church@5 will be meeting at the Berkeley Vale High School hall from this Sunday! Due to circumstances beyond our control, Church@5 is required to move from The Lakes Cafe at Ourimbah Uni. We will meet at the Berkeley Vale High School on Berkeley Rd, Berkeley Vale, on the 18th and 25th of July from 5pm while we assess other options. Please be prayerful that we find a suitable new venue that will open up other possibilities for kingdom growth. For further enquiries or re-location ideas contact Adam Gregory.
