We gently encourage you to remember St Columba in your will or estate plans.

Bequests – no matter the size – can help us realize our visions for ministry and mission.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to talk to Caleb.

Thank you for your faithful support.

ROSTERS for the months of August and September 2025, for Elders/Supervisors, Welcoming, Readers, Communion and Tea & Coffee, at the 8.30am, 10.30am services and the combined 9.30am service on 7 September (Father's Day), are now available.

Please note we need more volunteers for the Tea and Coffee roster, where we are now desperately short of numbers. We are unable to roster anyone to serve Tea and Coffee for the 8.30am services on 24 August and the 10.30am service on 24 & 31 August.
