The Building is taking shape!
Since Easter, which has only been a few days, there are many more obvious signs of work happening on site! Take for example the new entrance, pictured right, which has suddenly emerged with the removal of the old gate. The outside courtyard is also taking shape.

It has been a long wait, but it is exciting to see what is emerging now the focus of the building has shifted from the units to the upgrade of our facilities in earnest.
We will soon be having fellowship over coffee after the 10am service, catching up with a friend for a coffee at the Mustard Seed Café, attending a Bible Study or mid week activity ………….. What are you looking forward to the most? We are keen to know you thoughts.
Check in TAS App – A sign of the times!
As from May 1 the Tasmanian government has made it mandatory for everyone who attends a service or the premises to sign in using the Check in TAS app. The use of the app is not restricted to churches, you will find it in use everywhere you go.
Thank you to those who have started checking in using the QR code already. If you have a smartphone can I encourage you to download the free, Check in TAS app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. If you have trouble, ask Jenny Baxter, Heather Galloway or a younger person in your family to help you.
When you come to church, if you are comfortable using the app, please scan the QR code, which you will find in a number of places, or if you do not have a smart phone, are not with someone who can check you in with them, or are not comfortable using the app, please check in using the sign-in sheet either in the foyer or on the check-in table.
Thank you for your cooperation
Heather Galloway
Duty of Care Officer.
GIVING – Your tithes and offerings
Thank you to all who have faithfully continued with regular giving during the current economic climate. Many are now using EFT, with quite a few who have made the switch since we had to close our doors. Your ongoing support is much appreciated.
There is an offering box available for your use as you leave the Sanctuary. (A change to the way we do things as a result of COVID-19).

- Stay at home if you are unwell – always cover coughs and sneezes.
- Please use hand sanitiser when you arrive and before you leave
