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 friends for coffee at the Mustard Seed Café, or attending a Bible Study mid week. What are you looking forward to the most?

Check in TAS App – A sign of the times!

Check in TAS App

As from 1 May, the Tasmanian Government has made it mandatory for everyone who attends a church service, or even 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.
