Pac Pines Preview

Last Sunday we took another important step in seeing God’s dream for our church to become one church across multiple locations with the first preview service for our Pacific Pines campus.  The hall was prepared for church, the worship team rehearsed and the hospitality ready.  Then we waited.  And 120 people, people from Newlife Robina as well as curious newcomers from the Pacific Pines community came together at 9.30am to worship.  God was; and indeed is, good!

This Sunday in worship we will share some photos of the Pac Pines Preview service. If you were not able to get there, you will have two more opportunities before our official ‘launch’ on October 9.  The next Preview service will be on September 11th and then again on October 2nd.  Both gatherings will commence at 9.30am.

Good News Travels Fast and Far

Last Sunday morning at Robina we began a new four-week series – Just Walk Across the Room – as we explore the why, when, where and how of evangelism – telling others about our faith. 

We began by looking at the ‘why' of evangelism.  Along the way discovering that if bad news really does travel fast, then good news should travel faster and further. You can listen to or read my message here as I explore one of the greatest prayers ever offered: www.stucameron.typepad.com/

This Sunday – SPECIAL GUESTS!

This Sunday morning (7.30am, 9am, 10.45am) we continue our Just Walk Across the Room series as I reflect on our privilege in spreading and planting seeds of faith.  We will be honoured by the presence of three of our local school chaplains who will share about their incredibly important ministry amongst us.

On Sunday night at 12two (6pm) Craig Bailey will be our very special guest preacher.  Craig will continue our Undercover Jesus series.  Craig is a brilliant communicator and deep thinker.  He is a lecturer at Uniting College of Leadership and Theology in South Australia.  Prior to taking up this position, Craig was the Senior Pastor of Aberfoyle Uniting Church, the largest Uniting Church community in Australia.  Craig and his wife Kay are great friends and mentors to Sue and me, and I know to Ralph as well.

Our very popular Winter School continues, with Science and Faith wrapping up it's four-week season last week and Alpha rolling along well. 

We have another very exciting Winter School option that will run over two Saturday afternoons soon.
