Dear friends, We don’t exactly know where to begin. As we have been thinking about how to tell you our news, our thoughts and emotions have been all over the place, but we trust that this is the right time to share with you that at the end of this year, David, Crystal, Wendell, Marigold, and Ernie will be moving back to Sydney. The church that we’ll be moving to (and where David will serve as Rector) is in the suburb of Gymea. That’s the exciting part. The sad part is leaving Norfolk Island. This is our home, and it occupies a huge place in our hearts. This is now our seventh year serving the ..read more

Christian history offers plenty of ammunition to its critics: crusades, inquisitions, the oppression of women — not to mention the recent horrific incidence of institutional child abuse, covered up by the church. So would we be better off without Christianity? Join us on Wednesday nights at Grarbaleg’s for a four part documentary (https://www.publicchristianity.org/fortheloveofgod/ that weighs up the good, the bad, the ugly — and the unexpected – about some of the impact Christianity has had on the world we live in. 6pm for Soup, Scones, DVD and Dessert.All welcome!

In his book, The Dynamics of Spiritual Life Richard Lovelace speaks a word for 2021 from over 40 years ago: …America and the rest of Western culture now seem to be more on the edge of dissolution than on the point of renewal. A cloud of irony hangs over our festivities. The situation in this country seems to call for a jeremiad, not a celebration. The worst scandal in our government’s history still lingers in our memories. Race prejudice, latent under the surface of political campaigns, seems intensified by our very efforts to correct it. The crime rate is outstripping police restraint a ..read more

New Sermon Series

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be studying the book of 1 Peter together. We’ll see how, as believers, we can be filled with hope, and experience God, despite facing difficult and trying circumstances. In fact, Peter communicates that in the face of opposition, Christians are provided a great opportunity to show the difference Jesus makes in our lives. It’s worth the time to take a look ..read more

Join us in March as we recap the series so far and then catch up on the two missing lectures from our first Open House. Open House | Public Lectures We are a community with a cause: to love Jesus, to love Each Other and to love Norfolk Island.

Ash Wednesday Communion and Commination Service Wednesday February 17th  12pm All Saints Kingston   The Commination Service (from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer) begins with the cursing of all kinds of interesting sins!   If that seems over the top these days, maybe that is good. Perhaps we need a reminder that God’s concern is for our heart. In his worship song ‘Here I am to Worship’ Tim Hughes sings, “I’ll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross.” For me this is the essence of the teaching of the 1662 Ash Wednesday service – until we understand ..read more

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us…”

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us…” One of the questions we struggle with is: Why? Why did this happen to me? There are many things in life that we don’t understand. But in Romans 8 we begin to see some of the outlines of our situation in a fallen world. We see that God is still in control, “working” events for the good of his children. And we see a future glory beyond our present struggles. The Christian life is not easy. Fighting sin is not easy. Enduring persecution is not easy. Coping with day-to-day life in a fa ..read more
