“I am with you always, to the end of the age” Matthew 28:20 

What a reassuring verse to hold on to, not only during this week where we reflect on Ascension Day, but also for the exceptional times that we experience now.  Let us stand still for a moment and anchor in our hearts, the peace that this promise from Jesus gives to us.

Church Center App

We are in the process of implementing some exciting new changes to how we manage data in our church. One pretty cool result of this is that each of us now have access to an app for church-related information. 

At the moment, you are able to do 4 things, but we are working on more great implementations which will hopefully appear in the coming months.

1. See general information (service times, email, website link, etc).

2. Update your own church data without contacting the office (email, address, medical notes, etc).

3. See which elder district you are in, as well as the contact details for your elder (members only)

4. Do a bunch of stuff which will make being a part of a fellowship group much easier. (Fellowship group calendar, messaging, and shared resources)

We encourage you to get the app and experiment around. It should be pretty straightforward, but if you run into any issues, feel free to ring Jesse on 0405673123 and I’ll be happy to try to help.

The name of the app is “Church Center”

We are interested to hear from our members who feel prompted to share their testimony with us.  Do you want to tell us about how your journey with God started or maybe you have something to share about how God worked in your life during this extra ordinary time?  We want to hear from you, and with your permission, share your testimony on our website or on Facebook.  Write us a letter or send a video recording of your testimony.  You can email us at admin@mansfield-crc.com.  All the testimonies will be reviewed and considered before we will publish it with your permission.
