Kids For Christ is a vital part of our church. The team of teachers are gifted at sharing the love of Christ to the children in our church.

They share an important role in the early spiritual development of our children while having fun with them. All the teachers have had current police checks and are updated regularly.

Kids 4 Christ runs every Sunday Morning during the school term.

All primary school age children are most welcome.

Naracoorte Uniting Church Fellowship is a small group who meet monthly. We usually meet on the 2nd Thursday each month.

Throughout a year we do many different and varied activities, some examples are: made cards, visited Van Leuven’s Chocolatier, hosted a combined regional celebration, organised a church service, viewed a video, enjoyed Morning melodies at Sir Robert Helpman theatre in Mt Gambier, shared a Communion service and organised the Tenebrae service. How’s that for a varied programme?!

Our group is smaller and the members older and so not able to hold big fund raising events as they have in past years, but the fellowship is still as special as we faithfully meet to encourage each other and learn and laugh a bit too!

A old program had these words printed on it:

To believe Christ will return – that is Faith

To expect to meet Him – that is Hope

To invite another to meet Him – that is Love

When this group meets we would welcome anyone to share with us, we’d love to have new members come and join us! Open to all, young and old, men and women.

Watch for announcements in the Newsheet!
