The Music Team is well into it's rehearsals for Carols.

Thank you to everyone who is participating and supporting the practices.

Our Communtiy Carols is going to be a fantastic outreach to our church, community and beyond.

You can participate by having a gathering at home, or connecting with someone at theirs on the Saturday Night for the LIVE Stream.

You can volunteer in a small or big way for the Carpark Festivities - you might think you can't do anything - but yes you can - PRAY!

Community Carols at Marion Church of Christ - over 2 special nights!

11th & 12th December:

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Yes before you know it Christmas will be upon us. In the lead up to Christmas, we are having our Carols. You are encouraged to invite your friends, neighbours, family however many you can, to your house to watch online. Yes you can have your own personal Carols Party!

But wait...there’s more! Sunday here onsite in the Car Park we will be hosting a Carols Fun Day prior to the encore presentation in the auditorium.

How are you going to participate? Would you like to host a stall? Would you like to volunteer?

Let us know at the Office, we are waiting to hear from you ASAP.

Let's Be doers by joining in with our monthly prayer night - onsite or via Zoom.

James 1:22NIV

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

There is a place for you - come and join with us in prayer for our church, community, our state, country and world.

If you have not connected in with a prayer night, we encourage you to come along as you are.

It is a comfortable space where you can sit and contribute as His Spirit leads you.

Ladies and Gentlemen - START YOUR ENGINES!

This week ELEMENT YOUTH is heading out for some slot car racing hosted by Brett and Helen! This will be an OFF-SITE event happening at Brett and Helen's place. We'll enjoy some supper at their place as we take turns racing around the track and having fun.

We will have the Marion Bus taking people up - the bus will leave at 6:55pm from the church, so if you need a ride please arrive a few minutes early (6:45pm) and let me know by replying to this email if you need a ride.

We plan to be at there until 9pm and can do drop off post racing using the Marion Bus.

The Great Gift of Future Leaders

For many young Indigenous Australians, it’s exciting when they begin their journey of faith and seek to know and serve God. To keep this fire burning they need role models and opportunities to learn what Indigenous leadership looks like within their communities. Many have a desire to lead but need encouragement and nurturing by their Elders to become who God has chosen them to be.

Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal churches, working together through the IMA Pathways Program, are able to create the safe cultural, spiritual spaces necessary for their discipleship journey. The Pathways Program, an Indigenous-led initiative, enables like-minded young leaders to connect with one another and provide support and friendship, while also receiving valuable mentoring from Christian Elders.

Plus so much more informative information and reading.

You can support our partners through prayer, by downloading ‘Going Deeper’ prayer requests from our partners around the world. Or find out more in detailed newsletters from our partners. This month we have new news from the Bandarban Hills Churches of Christ.

What a wonderful afternoon it was last Sunday 31 October for the very first Community Light Party here in the carpark at Marion Church of Christ.

We were joined by the fabulous Immanuel College Rock Band with Red Brick Music Recording Studio providing Sound.

We had an awesome BBQ, Baking, Photo Booth, Kids Fun, Lollies and more.

Thank you to each and every one of you who lent a helping hand!

We give thanks and praise to our God for the beautiful weather He provided, as well as bringing in the community and working through us as we prayed, prepared and served.
