In addition to our regular morning service at 10:30am on a Sunday, we are pleased to announce another opportunity for Christian fellowship and learning about God’s Word, as well as sharing together in one other form of the ‘means of grace’, the Lord’s Supper.

This will take place in the form of an informal brief service beginning at 6pm on June 4th (after a shared meal at 5pm) in the Upper Room. We will sing, pray, read God’s Word  and hear it preached, concluding with the Lord’s Supper together. Mark it down in your diary! Other dates for ‘Sunday Evening Fellowship’ will follow during the year!

Sunday April 30th will be a special ‘CU’ (Christian Union) Sunday at St John’s, where we hear of the ministry of the Bendigo Christian Union at La Trobe University, Flora Hill through one of our local AFES  Staff Workers, Steve Blyth.

Steve will be preaching on Matthew 11:1-15 and sharing about the shape and importance of the gospel ministry that takes place on campus.  All welcome. Morning tea follows!

Join us as we gather to remember our Lord Jesus Christ in his death and burial. Good Friday, April 14th @9:30am. Hot cross buns to follow for morning tea!

It’s a challenging fact but sadly so true. All over the world believers in Jesus are being persecuted for their faith. While we make prayer for these believers a regular part of our worship, there is also more than we can do. One of these ways is to join the Bible League’s ‘Bibles for the Persecuted’ program which encourages prayer and collecting needed funds to enable these brothers and sisters of ours to have and hold the life-giving Word of God. You can check out the program here.

Internationally renowned Paraguayan folk harpist, Eduard Klassen will be making his second visit to St John’s on March 19th at 7pm. The concert is free although there will be an offering for the work of Reach Beyond. Supper follows in the hall.

… is on Saturday March 4th from 10am in the Upper Room.

All are welcome! Come when you can, leave when you must.

Join us as we meet to bring all of our needs to the One whose hand moves the world!

Yes, we’ll be at the ‘Scots Day Out’ again this year. This celebration will be held in Rosalind Park, Bendigo on February 11th. So look out for our tent and and come and say hello!

And if you are wondering how it is that we are a part of ‘Scots Day Out’,  well… our denomination has some very strong links back to Scotland … but that doesn’t mean you have to be Scottish to come to our church! (PS The tartan pictured above is Bendigo’s own)

We’ll be meeting at 10:30am each Sunday during January 2017. Our preaching series will follow Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians and we’ll be thinking about the return of Jesus (because that’s what the lettter is about!)

Join us on Sunday at 9:30am and stay for some morning tea in the hall!
