Worship Services
Even though we we have come out of the immediate crisis of COVID we are still living with it and therefore mindful of the well being of all who come and worship with us. Seats are still set out to abide by COVID safe distancing and although facemasks are not mandatory we encourage people to continue to wear them if they are in any way concerned for their, or others welfare.
For several years ( even before COVID ) we have been offering paper paper, and email copies of our weekly worship for anyone who either can't get to a service or is still feeling a little bit vulnerable. Drop a comment in the "Contact Us" page and we would be more than happy to supply you with these.
As part of our community in both Forster / Tuncurry and Coomba Park we are most aware of the need to follow all government and Health Department protocols when we come together to meet.
All that being said, we are excited as to what God has been doing this year. In 2022 we held two services beside the lake at Coomba Park and in 2023 this has continued with gatherings being held whenever there is a 5th Sunday in a month. 2023 saw five services take place. In 2024 this will continue with another four services. On this Sunday there will be no normal Sunday service in Forster as worship is conducted beside the lake and followed by lunch. Residents of Coomba Park are invited to these gatherings, and we have been excited by the number who are not only taking up this offer, but are showig interest in what we are offering to their community.
We have also just enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with great numbers attending all our services, both on Christmas Eve at the Green Cathedral and at Forster.
All the details for our services are shown below so if you can come and join us, we'd love to see you.
