Life can be wonderful, messy, challenging and everything in between. Sometimes we all need a little support, a few practical tools, and people to walk alongside us.

That’s why we’re launching Communities for Heart, Mind & Soul THIS SUNDAY— a monthly gathering exploring wellbeing, resilience, faith and life in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Facilitated by psychologist Dr Catherine Philpot, these sessions are for anyone who:
❤️ Is feeling isolated or overwhelmed
❤️ Is supporting a loved one through a difficult season
❤️ Wants practical tools to improve wellbeing
❤️ Is curious about the connection between psychology, spirituality and everyday life
❤️ Simply wants to connect with others in a caring community

No pressure. No expectations. Just conversation, connection and hope.

🌿☀️ Salvos in the Park was all about fresh air, faith and feelings today.

As we explored Acts 8, we paused to consider the emotions of those in the story. Fear. Uncertainty. Hope. Courage. The reality is that when you’re in the middle of the story, you don’t know how it’s going to end.

And maybe that’s where some of us find ourselves too.

We reflected on the question: “How are we feeling right now?” Because we’re all somewhere in the middle of our story, trusting that God is still at work, even when we can’t yet see the next chapter.

Afterwards, we enjoyed some time chatting, chilling and connecting beside the river, surrounded by God’s beautiful creation.

A perfect reminder that while we may not know the ending, we don’t walk the journey alone. 💙🌳

💛 Community spirit at its finest! 💛

To raise funds for the Red Shield Appeal, some of our young people took on a challenge of one lap of a field for every $10 raised.

24 laps and over 9.4km later, not even a rain-soaked field and venue change could stop them!

Then the Spirited Sleepout Squad and Sleepout Soldiers jumped in to join the fun to run alongside them and then to finish the challenge together.

Young people supporting young people, raising funds for people doing it tough. That’s community. That’s the Red Shield Appeal.

Now they are off to their sleepouts. It’s not too late to support them

It’s wonderful to see our community get behind this year’s Red Shield Appeal. Thanks Jess Pugh MP for Mount Ommaney

💙 This weekend Edie and her friends are sleeping out to support people experiencing homelessness in our community.

It’s going to be a cold night and they’ll be sleeping on hard floors, all to raise funds and bring hope to people doing it tough. 🏠

I’m so incredibly impressed by these kind-hearted young people and wanted to share their efforts with our community in case you’d like to get behind them too.

Well done Edie and team! We’re all so proud of you 🌟

Hey 4074! West Brisbane Salvos are at Mount Ommaney shopping centre this week. Drop in and have a chat or drop a coin in the bucket. What do you think would help 4074 be a better place for everyone? How can the Salvos help?

🌿 FIFTH SUNDAY FUN IS HERE 🌿

This month has five Sundays… so we figured why not head to the park? 😄

Join us for our very first Salvos in the Park — a relaxed catch up by the river with food, fun and fresh air. No agenda, no pressure, just good people hanging out together.

Bring a chair, something to share, and whatever makes park afternoons fun — soccer balls, fishing rods, frisbees or just yourself!

All ages welcome.
Come for five minutes or stay the whole time — we’d love to see you there! 🌭⚽🎣
