Welcome

Hello! Welcome to The Grain Shed Church of Christ. We are a Church passionate about Jesus. Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, we’d love for you to come and be a part of our community.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

In the light of the government regulations regarding COVID-19 what is the Grain Shed doing? Specifically regarding Sunday services given we regularly have well over 100 people meeting on a Sunday for church services

This Easter we have our Good Friday service at 10am and Easter Sunday service available online

There will be no worship at the Grain Shed however the sermon will be available for viewing below or on the following platforms.

The Grain Shed YouTube channel or the Grain Shed Church of Christ Facebook page for those who prefer to access video content on their smart devices, such as phones, tablets or TVs.

We encourage church members to join our Grain Shed Facebook page.

Sunday Services

Over the coming weeks we will be working on ways of continuing to provide Sunday services, including resources for the whole family, in an accessible format.

Kids

Our kids’ program will be changing during this time.  Access to the kids’ resources is available below.

We encourage all parents to make use of these resources.

Giving

You can still give your offerings to God by switching to direct debit giving if you haven’t already done so.  Please phone the Grain Shed office on 50329449 to arrange this. For cash offerings, a secure cash point will be made available at the Grain Shed during office hours Monday to Friday.

Communion

For the foreseeable future we will give you the opportunity to celebrate communion at home while viewing our online sermon.  Please prepare the elements (bread and juice) in advance.

Pastoral Care: As always, if you or somebody you know needs pastoral care of any kind, please contact the office.

Office:  The Grain Shed office remains open for now and you can call for anything you may need. Please remember to take appropriate precautions if you are feeling unwell and call instead of dropping in.   

News:  Keep up to date by visiting our website, the Grain Shed or our Facebook page (please join if you have not done so yet). Other communication will also be done via email (please give yours to the office if you have not done so).  The Grain Shed team will be updating you over the coming weeks.  If you know somebody who doesn’t use these technology platforms, please print out the information or call them to let them know.

It is not easy to make a decision to pause Sunday services at the Grain Shed.  Sunday services are one of the main ways we connect as a Christian community.  However, as a Christian community we need to respect the government of our country and abide by the rules put in place to keep us safe and healthy.  We can see this situation as a threat or as an opportunity.  We have the opportunity to do so much for God in these interesting times.

• We can use technology to advance God’s work further afield
• We can focus on setting aside time for God in our week and time at home
• We can worship together as families
• We can spend more time talking to each other about God’s word
• We can spend time with our children learning about God
• We can meet in small groups (family or friends) in our home to study God’s word (invite them for online church and share Sunday roast together) if you are comfortable to do so and if you are observing appropriate precautions

Prayer: Please pray for La’ Mont as he leads the church teams and congregations during this challenging time.  God is asking us to step out of our comfort zone again and be a light for Him in the world.
