Christmas is Coming - Carols and other events, Useful Gifts, Livestream Struggles

Christmas is Coming!

By God's grace, it's looking like we are going to be able to have a very normal St Matthew's Christmas this year. What a thing to celebrate in 2020!

To begin with, Carols by the Lake is on again! Join us on the 13th of December from 5:30 - 7:00pm for kids activities, carols and fellowship with your church family and the community.

We are also excited to be able to run some of our traditional evangelical events in November in the lead up to Christmas. Specifically for the Ladies of St Matthew's and for the Girls of Unichurch. Head to the website to find out more and RSVP.

Useful Christmas Gifts

Christmas is a wonderful time where we as Christians celebrate God's kindness to us in giving us Jesus. It's also a time when our culture spends millions on giving gifts to each other. We would love you to take this opportunity to give friends and family a gift that will help change the lives of others living in poverty around the world in Jesus' name.

Through Compassion Australia you can give a needy family overseas a gift (like a goat, a mosquito net, or vaccinations), and you get a card to give to your friend or family which explains that the gift you got them is overseas helping improve lives in Jesus 'name.

You can read more about the Gifts of Compassion project, and see the full list of gifts for purchase at this link.

Livestream Struggles

We have had some struggles with the livestream, the last few weeks in particular. For that I want to apologise. There are lots of reasons (and new ones each week!) for the problems. Rest assured we are working on it and remain committed to the livestream as long as COVID is with us.

In Christ,
Evan
