An Exciting Year

Very excited thinking about St Jude’s this year. We have lots of new things beginning.

Sunday Feb 13th will be the last service of St Jude’s 5 at our Carlton Site, because on Sunday February 20th, they will become St Jude’s in Parkville meeting at Ridley Melbourne at 10am and 5pm. The 5pm Congregation at St Jude’s began in 1994, and has been fairly unique in the Melbourne scene, as a place where young professional workers have gathered together to worship and serve. Now it is expanding and multiplying. We are delighted about this, as it is a clear expression of our Vision to multiply congregations in Melbourne’s inner north. Feel free to join us at either place. More information is here.

However in March there will be another new venture. The Unichurch Congregation, which meets at 7.30 is seizing the opportunity for growth as well. From February 20, they will meet at 6.30pm on the Carlton Site, so that on March 20th, they can multiply out to two congregations meeting at 5pm and 7.30pm, with the potential to reach twice as many tertiary students as before. This is a very exciting venture and we pray that God will be glorified through it.

On top of this are new staff and other new programs. We are calling people to prayer in the next week, so that we bathe all this in the presence of God. Do you want to join us in praying? Drop me a line and we can send you some prayer points.
