This week Jeremy and Heather visited the Evangelical Sisters of Mary at their beautiful property at Theresa Park.
Pictured with Jeremy below are Sister in Charge, Sister Elpida and Sister Anaya.

The Sisters of Mary will be visiting CVC on 22nd December for our Carol's Service and speaking about their work. Their ministry is operated by faith and an appeal for their work will be held on the day. Donations can be made in cash, online (with a reference 'Sisters of Mary') or by tapping on the church card reader.

Thank you in advance for your donations for this community engagement appeal.

Sunday 22nd December at 10am is our Carols service. We have a leading choir to inspire our singing and some of the Sisters of Mary will be visiting and giving a talk on their work at Theresa Park. We will be collecting donations for their work also.

Wednesday 25th December at 9am will be our Christmas Service. 

Sunday 29th December will be our Big Day In picnic at Curry Reserve, starting at 10m. BYO lunch and swimming attire for the kids.

Youth

Youth group runs each second and fourth Sunday of the month during the church service. The focus of youth group has been relationship and discipleship, whilst growing our confidence in the knowledge of God.

We have had two social events this year which has encouraged our youth to 'bring a friend'. These events have continued to solidify the relationships in the group.

As per feedback direct from youth members, this perfectly summarises what someone may see if they were to attend the group: "Really cool young people who come to church to learn about God with an absurd amount of snacks!"

Seniors

Home church, held monthly at Leigh and Sue’s home at Carrington, is attended by 7 seniors where we watch a previous online sermon and sing hymns with the accompaniment of Spotify music. Prayer time is a great time of fellowship.

Morning tea for men is held at Daniels’ home first Friday of each month. We appreciate Jeremy attending and leading a devotional.

Morning tea for ladies is held every second Friday of the month at Carol Guyer’s home.
Visitation to Carol Guyer and Ashley Fisher Sharpe is attended regularly…they do not attend our hall service.
