July Greetings

Hi Church 

As we move into June and the change of season, we find ourselves reflecting with gratitude on all that God has been doing among us. Over recent weeks we’ve celebrated baptisms, launched new initiatives for our young people, welcomed families into newly renovated spaces, gathered in prayer, and continued to see people step into community, service, and discipleship.

This month also marks the conclusion of our Breath and Fire series. As we’ve explored the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, our prayer has been that weary hearts would be refreshed, faith rekindled, and lives surrendered afresh to God’s transforming presence. We trust many of you have experienced God’s encouragement and renewal through this journey.

On June 14, we begin a new series, Psalms and the Soul –Ancient Prayers for Wandering Hearts. Looking to the prayers and songs of God’s people, we’ll discover afresh God’s invitation to return to Him. The Psalms teach us how to bring our joys, disappointments, failures, fears, and hopes honestly before God. Through honest prayers of confession, trust, lament and praise, we learn that repentance is about returning to the Father who already loves us.

As always, thank you for your generosity, service, prayers, and Christ like love for one another. Together we are building a community that seeks Jesus, loves one another, and reaches beyond ourselves with the hope of the gospel.

We look forward to sharing the chillier months with you.

With love,

With love,
Ps James & Tam

Current Teaching Series

The Psalms and the Soul – Ancient Prayers for Wandering Hearts.

Life has a way of drawing us in many directions. We drift, we become distracted, we carry wounds, regrets, fears and burdens that weigh heavily on the soul. Yet throughout the Psalms we discover a God who continually invites His people back to Himself. Through honest prayers of confession, trust, lament and praise, we learn that repentance is about returning to the Father who already loves us.

As we journey through these ancient prayers, we will discover practical and life-giving rhythms that help us remember who God is, remember who we are in Christ, honestly bring our failures before Him, and walk again in the freedom, joy and transformation He desires for us.

Prayer

As the practice that brings us regularly into fellowship with God and deepens our unity with each other, our prayer with each other is powerful in shaping us as a community. Join us as we open our building for regular times of morning prayer.

Connect Group

Our groups keep us connected to Jesus and His community by helping people to build relationships and centralise fellowship around our joint relationship with Jesus, creating community where new and existing congregation members can be known and cared for. They cause us to grow to be more like Jesus, through communal discipleship, providing a space for people to share, ask questions and grow in their spiritual formation. They provide regular spaces to pray with one another and encourage each other in how we are reaching others with God’s love.

Find our more about our midweek connect groups. 

Young Adults

Young Adults from our high school graduates through to ~mid twenties gather regularly for Home Church, Connect Groups and events including monthly Sunday Lunch hangs. 

The Young Adults of C3 Monash also make for a vibrant addition to our volunteer team.
