What's On
|
These prayer meetings are held on the first Saturday of each month from 7:30 - 9am. We gather together to share breakfast and to pray for our church, our mission partners and the spread of the gospel both in our city and overseas. It is a wonderful opportunity for people from different congregations to come together in prayerful dependence on God. Each month we focus on a particular ministry or mission partner.
The next prayer breakfasts are as follows:
Saturday 4th February
- with a focus on the upcoming Nicodemus Musical. |
A new initiative that was ‘inspired by the fact that some other musicals treated Jesus Christ as nothing more than a man, this musical ‘Nicodemus’ shows Jesus as the Son of God, complete with the Resurrection.
It revolves around the inner turmoil that besets Nicodemus, the Chief Teacher of Israel, when he is confronted with the works of Jesus. Torn between a life of luxury, privilege and entitlement on the one hand and the devastating loss of everything he has worked for and achieved in life on the other, ‘Nicodemus’ contains the elements of betrayal, intrigue and personal anguish.
The musical contains a cast and crew of around 60 people from just on 30 churches and denominations throughout Sydney, and will be performed with a live orchestra.
The musical event is making its debut in Sydney and will be presented over seven performances in the Main Hall at Covenant Christian School from Wednesday March 21, 2012 to Saturday March 31, 2012, the lead up to Easter.

Each week we have a large number of home bible study groups that meet to study God's Word together. These home groups are an integral part of holding our church family together. It is here that we intend to pray for each other and seek to meet the pastoral needs within the group as we are able.
If you are interested in joining a group please contact Rob Stewart. |

Each Wednesday morning, a group of men and women from St Matthews head into two of our local primary schools, West Pymble & Gordon West to share the love of Jesus. Children from Kindergarten to Year 6 have the chance to attend a scripture class each week to learn more about Jesus and what that means for their lives. Each lesson goes for approximately 30 minutes. We also run school wide Scripture Assembly's to celebrate Easter, Education Week & Christmas.
If you would like to be involved with SRE either by praying for those who teach each week or by becoming a helper, please contact our SRE coordinator, Jo Kitchner on 9440 4265. |
