Have you noticed more people sleeping rough in our community lately?

Many people across our area are doing it tough right now. Rising housing costs, financial pressure, family breakdown, mental health challenges and unexpected life events can all contribute to homelessness.

If you see someone sleeping rough, your response matters more than you may realise. Small acts of kindness and dignity can make a real difference. ❤️

Here are some helpful ways to respond:

• Say hello and acknowledge them as a person
• Not everyone sleeping rough identifies as homeless or needs the same kind of support — approach with respect and curiosity, not assumptions
• Ask if they know about local support services or community meals
• Avoid judgement
• Respect personal space and boundaries
• If someone appears distressed, aggressive or unsafe, prioritise your own safety and contact appropriate services if needed
• If someone appears to be in immediate danger or a medical crisis, call emergency services
• Support local organisations working with vulnerable people in our community
• Remember: compassion costs nothing

Not everyone sleeping rough will want assistance, and that’s okay too. Treating people with dignity, respect and kindness helps create a safer and more caring community for everyone.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to local community services. 💛

The Way is The Salvation Army’s national spiritual focus for 2026 and beyond — a call to walk closely with Jesus and join God in His work in the world.

It’s an invitation to deepen our devotion, grow spiritually, and let the transforming love of Jesus overflow into our families, communities, and mission.

Through The Way, you’ll be inspired, challenged, and equipped in five key practices:

🔹Discipleship
🔹Evangelism
🔹Prayer
🔹Spiritual Warfare
🔹Mission

Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years, are new to faith, or simply curious, The Way is for you. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Following Him reshapes our hearts, choices, and communities — and leads us into eternal life.

Join us in learning from Jesus, sharing His love, seeking Him in prayer, standing firm against evil, and living out His mission of justice and compassion.

The New Year invites us to pause, reflect, and begin again.
This week in our Summer Psalms series, we’re exploring Psalm 32 — a psalm that gently but honestly invites us to name our failings and bring them into the light.

When we humble ourselves, admit where we’ve gone wrong, and commit to making things right, God meets us with grace.
No matter who we are, where we come from, or what our story holds, God’s love remains steady — calling us toward forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation. That is GOOD NEWS, friends!

Join us this Sunday in Seymour (10am, 8 Victoria Street) as we listen, reflect, and make space for the God who restores.

Praying for a New Year overflowing with abundant hope for our communities and our country. Will you receive this prayer?

As one year ends and another begins, we’re gathering to pause, reflect, and look ahead with hope.
This Sunday in our Seymour meeting we’ll spend time in the story of Anna and Simeon — two people who waited faithfully, trusted deeply, and recognised God at work in unexpected ways.

As we step into the New Year, we’ll create space to listen for what God might be inviting us into in the year ahead — not rushing, not striving, but waiting well.

Wherever this year has taken you, God has been present.
Wherever the new year finds you, God is faithful.

Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus—our hope, our peace, our Saviour.
Merry Christmas!
