Lenten Bible Studies 2026 - Joy
Lenten Studies 2026 provides a study of joy, helping us to navigate the Lenten period of penitence and preparation for Easter. Christians ought to be people of joy. Joy because we are grounded in gospel grace, in Christ, in an assured destiny with God. Joy, because through Christian joy, others may be attracted to our glorious God.

Wednesday 7pm in the small hall from Feb 25th.

Contact St Marks to join study group.

Watch Night
A Watch Night service was held at St Mark’s by Rev Agatha and Ronald on New Years Even. Starting at 11pm going through to 1am. A Watch Night service includes reviewing the year past, looking forward to the year ahead, prayer, singing, and readings.
Watch Night services are common among African church communities, and the Samoan congregation also held their own Watch Night service.
Watch Night Services were held on New Year’s Eve in Wesleyan Churches and in Christian traditions, such as Moravians, Baptists, Anglicans and Pentecostals. The Watch Night services provided the opportunity for Christians to review the year that had passed and make confession, and then prepare for the year ahead by praying and resolving. The services often included singing, praying, exhorting, and preaching.

Watch Night Service are not so common now a days, The attached article is an account of the New Years eve 1891 at Kerang, when a Watch Night service was held.
