Sunday Spring Floral Service: Living Water 🌸💦 🌹💐🌊
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the season of renewal with our theme, "Living Water," inspired by Ezekiel 47:9, 12 — the focus for the 2026 Season of Creation, amidst the fresh spring blossoms in our historic church. All are welcome!
Rev Liena Hoffman's message will be centred on the beautiful vision of water flowing from God’s sanctuary, bringing healing, restoration, and vibrant new life wherever it streams. This powerful passage reminds us of the hope found in God’s renewing presence — a presence that can restore damaged ecosystems, strengthen our communities, and inspire us toward faithful stewardship of the Earth.
A warm welcome to the members of Wesley Vale Community Church who will be joining the service at 10am. And there's more - at 1pm we will be singing our favourite hymns 🎶🎵

🌿 Cradle Coast Uniting Churches Cluster Service – this Sunday
“The Lord gives me the words to speak – to encourage tired people.”
This Sunday 30th August Rev Liena Hoffman will reflect on how God speaks through us and acts through us. That is the gift of the Holy Spirit.
📖 Readings: Isaiah 50:1–10 Acts 1:6–14
At this service Rev Liena Hoffman will highlight the critical work of Bush Chaplains and Frontier Services, particularly at a time when our world feels increasingly uncertain. With a pending El Niño and the despair it may bring to people and rural communities, this work of encouragement, presence and practical support is more important than ever.
🌭 12:30pm – Fundraising BBQ
Bring $7 and a donation to support Frontier Services.
🙏 2:00pm – Cluster Worship Service
📍 Cam Rise, 26 Athol Street, Somerset
Come for lunch, worship, fellowship and an opportunity to hear more about the vital work of Frontier Services.
Everyone is welcome! 🌿

When life throws challenges your way, what is your default reaction—Fight, Flight, or Freeze?
More importantly, how do those reactions impact our walk with God? Is your life clearing the path, or becoming a stumbling block to following Jesus?
Join us this Sunday as Lynn Templar guides us through Matthew 16:21–28 to unpack what wholehearted discipleship really looks like.
✨ Sunday at 10:00 AM
☕ Stay after the service for fellowship and connection. All are welcome!
