KINDY LOCATION CHANGE

Apologies for the mix-up! The SQ Big Camp app incorrectly listed the Amazing Animals encounters this afternoon as being on the school oval.

The correct location is the Kindy Shed.

We’re sorry for any confusion this has caused and appreciate your understanding as we keep everyone informed.

Wanted: Fishing Gear and Prescription Glasses

As you are packing for Big Camp, plan to make a difference for those in PNG!

This message is from Mark Goldsmith,

“Dear family in the Faith.

Please may you put aside those old prescription or magnifying glasses no longer required. Pastor Mark Goldsmith is bringing essential items to Finschhafen PNG in January of 2026 and April of 2026. It is such a beautiful experience to watch elderly poor people try on some glasses and see a big smile on the faces after seeing clearly for the first time in May years. Such a small contribution is a big joy for others.

Also required are any old fishing rods, hand lines or tackle you no longer need. Finschhafen is a fishing village and the items given to the folk is a wonderful avenue in reaching these beautiful people. Anything helps. Again such a wonderful experience to give the prisoners, local village folk, fellow Adventists and others fishing gear for their homes and livelihood.

Thank you

May the Lord bless you in your generosity.”

Parking on Sabbath – Avoid the Fines

This Sabbath morning, the main gates will close at 8 a.m. Police will redirect all traffic, so entry will be from Hughes Rd East only.

Please note: no parking on the grass along Old Gympie Road or Hughes Rd East. The local council will have parking inspectors issuing fines throughout the day.

Where to park: Use the ovals at Northpine School (end of Hughes Rd). Clear directions will be signposted, and friendly buggies will be on hand to ferry you to your destination.

Thanks for helping us keep Sabbath parking safe and stress-free!

See the graphic below for areas where parking is not allowed.
