Upcoming Events

Subi Men's Group

Subi Men's Group catch-up and bible study is on Monday 4 Aug at 7.45pm in 1982 Cafe on Rokeby Rd (next to the Regal Theatre). It is not a large venue so it will be easy to find us if you haven't been before. Contact Nick Mountford (manik.hm@gmail.com) for further details or to RSVP.

Alpha Invitation Dinner

What is the Christian faith all about? Through the Alpha Course, you can explore some fundamental questions about what it means to be a Christian, and raise and discuss difficult questions in a non-threatening environment. Regardless of whether you are a non-Christian, a new believer, or a long-time Church attender, you'll find this course beneficial.
The Alpha Course commences with an Invitation Dinner at 7pm on Tuesday 5 Aug. The Alpha Course then runs every concurrent Tuesday night until 30 Sept from 7pm to 9.15pm in the Church Café. Dinner is provided at the course for attendees and the cost is free!
Come to the Alpha Invitation Dinner to find out more about the course, and don't forget to invite your family members and friends!
RSVPs are essential - for more information or to RSVP, contact Joshua Thomson (subialpha2014@gmail.com or 0401 198 500).

Newcomer's Lunch

Are you new to Subi? Maybe you've been here awhile and want to get to know more about Subi Church and what we're about. Save the date - on Sunday 3 Aug at 12.15pm, join us for a Newcomer's Lunch!

Weekend Services on 30/31 August

On Saturday 30 Aug, the 5pm service will run as per normal. However, on Sunday 31 Aug, due to the annual City2Surf run, road closure will be in place and making it difficult for some to travel to church. Therefore will only be one service at 1pm. We invite you join in a sausage sizzle at 12pm before the service, with funds raised going towards the Jeff Ong memorial fund.

Come Pray With Me

Prayer Before Service

We meet every Sundays, 8.30am to 10am in the Prayer Meeting Room. You can come and leave anytime. >>

Prayer After Service

Please come to the front after the service and take a seat, a prayer team member or the speaker will be available to pray with you. >>

Prayer Points

  1. Health issues. Please pray for those who need are sick, undergoing medication or surgery. Pray for healing and restoration. 
  2. Pray for revival and spiritual awakening. Pray for God to fill His people with a passion to see people saved. Until God’s people intensely pray for the lost and do aggressive soul winning revival will tarry. Be sure you are constantly praying for many lost people by name. (Romans 9:1-3)
  3. David & Jessica Liaw in Cambodia. Praise God for providing in so many ways when Jess had to be in Singapore recently for urgent medical attention and that she is now responding to treatment for acute gastritis. Please pray for spiritual refreshment at their upcoming field conference, healing for their shoulder issues, their Dutch physio who lost her brother in the MH17 disaster, and for perseverance and faithfulness despite the recent trials.
    View the Liaw's latest newsletter here.
  4. Jamie & Claudia Boland in Uganda.
    View the Boland's latest newsletter here.
  5. Ming Poi Pitt and family. Please keep them in your prayers during this difficult time.
  6. Pray for the growth of Fremantle Church of Christ as we go into partnership with them.
  7. The Alpha Invitation Dinner starting Tuesday 5 Aug. Pray that the hearts of those attending will be open and ready all guests who are invited are ready to receive the Word, and they will attend the Invitation Dinner and sign up for a course.
  8. The families and loved ones of those who perished in the MH17 crash.
  9. Pray for the Christians in Mosul. The Islamist militant group has told them to convert to Islam, pay a tax or be killed.
