Church lunches
Lunch after church
Some say “the family that eats together stays together”. We certainly believe that sharing lunch together after a church is an excellent way to connect with one another. Roughly once a month we put on a free lunch for all to enjoy. Sometimes we provide soups or casseroles or curries, other times we order in pizzas or Turkish, and then there’s the annual sausage cook off. Please plan to stick around and enjoy sharing some food together.
Make a Difference (MAD) lunches
While we ensure these lunches are free to all and we cover any costs from our church budget, these lunches are also an opportunity to make a difference. Most months we will profile an area of mission or provision to the poor and disadvantaged. There is a brief presentation during church, followed by the offer to make a financial contribution during the lunch.
So far we have provided support to such organisations as:
- Mountain Trails
- The Barnabas Fund
- Aiden and Jess studying at Moore Theological College
- Torrens SUPA Club
- Lily of the Valley AIDS Orphanage
- CEIS
