We welcome you, your family, community and neighbours to join us for a Community Light Party on Thursday 31 October 2024 from 4pm to 7pm.
CELEBRATING LIGHT OVERCOMING DARKNESS!
Not that there is no darkness in the world, but that when we choose to follow Jesus, we choose to walk in the light, a light that darkness cannot overcome.
We will have an exciting addition for kids : Pony Rides, Facepainting, BBQ, Photo Booth, Music, Coffee/Tea - Everyone's Invited!
Come and See! Something for Everyone - Young and Old.
Calling all those people who like to walk and enjoy the outdoors, we are looking to have a letterbox drop this year to advertise our upcoming Community event and invite our neighbours to their local "Community Market and Carols at Marion Church of Christ"
We would be delighted to hear from you if you're interested in walking around our local community and neighbourhood to drop letters in boxes.
Or maybe you would like to do a letterbox drop in the community where you live - we would love to hear from you as well.
Please contact Tracy on tstewart@marioncc.org.au to register your interest.
Many thanks,
Church Office Team

Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
As a church one of our core values is connecting with God through prayer and worship.
With your church family, we gather together to lift up needs in the church and around the world, believing God is going to move in mighty ways.
Let's pray with faith that the Lord will help us in every area of our lives! Reach out to us, if you are unable to make it onsite and would like the link to the Zoom connection.
God Bless, see you there!
