Members of the Uniting Church at St. Martin’s say they would love to see more people attend one of the local church services held at the venue each week.
Church goer Pete Harling said he enjoys going because it gives him time to stop each week.
“It gives me time in the week, just to stop and to listen and communicate with my friend Jesus," he explained.
“I believe that kindness and forgiveness are the ways to behave and I think they're so hard to do all the time that you need help from somewhere and I think that Jesus is the role model that helps me do that.”
The small numbers in the church has allowed Pete and the rest of the congregation get to know each other well.
Reverend at the Uniting Church Suzy Sitton says that although the group is small, the welcome is big.
Worship times at St. Martin’s are:
7.30 am Uniting Church
10.00 am Baptist Church
3.00 pm Lutheran Church [4th Sunday of month]
6.00 pm Roman Catholic Mass.
At the Uniting Church, new arrivals are greeted joyfully and a friendly atmosphere thrives as people gather to follow their friend, Jesus, and accept his encouragement to live lives of kindness and forgiveness.
