We have had a fantastic year at BBQ Church.
Each month there has been a wonderful team of volunteers who have gathered faithfully to help in the kitchen, welcoming, cooking bbqs and preparing food for up to 200 people.
Thank you BBQ Team - you are appreciated and valued.
We have enjoyed a range of guests and features over the 10 months.
Thank you to One50 Dance, Immanuel College, Westminster College, Amy Perkins and The Sherrahs, MarionLIFE, MCC Music Team and Pastors.
We have reflected on the New Year and Easter and finished in great voice with a Christmas Carols feature by the MCC Music Team as a lead up to our Community Market and Carols afternoon/evening on Saturday 9th December - starting at 4pm.
Come along to enjoy the stalls and free jumping castle/facepainting. Buy a sizzling BBQ, coffee and homemade slices/biscuits.
BBQ Church is back on 4th Sunday of the Month February 2024 - so have a think about who you would like to invite and bring along - lets share the joy of gathering together for a meal and good company.

MarionLIFE will continue providing meaningful and responsive support to individuals and families in need during this festive season. We are inviting donations as part of our Christmas Appeal.
You can contribute towards the MarionLIFE Christmas Appeal through:
- Christmas Hampers that we make available to MarionLIFE clients via partnership with Foodbank SA, including a wide range of staple foods and goodies like tinned leg ham and mince pies. With your support we are hoping to provide up to 70 hampers this year.
- Christmas Day Lunch, on 25 December, all are welcome to enjoy good food and company on Christmas day. We are expecting 50 or more people on Christmas Day and invite donations to help us cover the costs of this wonderful lunch that serves and connects local people.
- Crisis Support via food and hygiene items, information, and referrals to ongoing community programs or support services available through our Emergency Relief Service, or individuals and families facing, financial and food insecurity, unemployment, relationship breakdown, homelessness and isolation.
We can only provide these lifegiving services with the support of concerned and caring partners like you. Would you join us in helping make this Christmas a bit brighter for those in need? A donation of even $5 or $10 goes a long way as we are seek to raise a total of $10,000 towards covering the costs of providing hampers, Christmas Day Lunch and Crisis Support this year.
