During the 10:30am service, join the adults in church first,
then off to the KidSpace for loads of fun activities and great Biblical learning.

This week's teaching is about "The Good Samaritan" and the reading is from Luke 10: 25-37.

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

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.

Rosters have already been e-mailed to you. Please check them carefully as for some rosters you may be rostered more than once during this two-month period.

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.

If anyone is able to help, please let the office know as soon as possible.

We have had a close relationship with PCM over many years. Over the past 5 years they have been sorely tested by civil war, flood, cyclone and most recently a major earthquake. They need our prayers.
