One of our big goals for 2011 was to find a new space for our 6pm evening service.
We were looking for a venue that would be accessible, available, affordable, and large enough to provide room for us to grow and stretch our wings. God is continuing to grow His church and we want as many people as possible to know Jesus and make Jesus known.
I am pleased to announce that God has opened doors for us once again!
Arrow on Swanston
Starting Sunday, March 6 we will be hosting an evening service at Arrow on Swanston (488 Swanston St). This will run in addition to our morning service at Hoyts, Melbourne Central.
Located in the heart of the city, Arrow on Swanston offers great facilities, can seat up to 800 people and is close to trains, trams and free parking.
We are dreaming big – because we believe in a big God who has a big vision for our city.
I cannot tell you how thankful to God I am for his provision and I would love you and your friends to join us for the launch on March 6 at 6pm. We will also be kicking off a new series called “Storyteller: The Parables of Jesus”. The series will be particularly relevant for those who have never been to church and are interested in exploring who Jesus is and his purpose for our lives.
Mission in Docklands
I want to also let you know that while we may be moving our evening service into the city, our mission in and for Docklands continues. Thanks to Lend Lease we now have a great office on Merchant St that allows us some space to run events, programs and community outreach. In addition, we have a number of connect groups that meet in Docklands through the week and are looking for more ways to serve the community through local initiatives (e.g., Docklands Community Weekend, and the Docklands Christmas Carols). I will also keep writing columns for the Docklands News. All of which to say we love this part of Melbourne and see it as an integral part of our vision and mission.
At present there is not a big enough venue in Docklands that is both affordable and available. However, I am in continued conversation with local leaders and developers regarding the need for a community space. We would love the opportunity to partner with local residents, workers and business owners to provide space, services and initiatives that are in and for the community. We’d love your support and partnership in this vision.
Many thanks
Guy Mason
