Missions….
Local…. Rest Home Visitation
This ministry’s mission statement says that “we are to go into all the world and take the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are ‘shut in’ ”.
Our group visits three rest homes each month. The programme mainly targets those who are no longer able to attend church on a regular basis. It is also a very good opportunity to speak to those who, for whatever reason, have never felt the need for Jesus to be a part of their lives. It is never too late!
We try to keep as much to a regular church service format as possible, with hymns and scripture readings, and a short devotional. After the service we talk individually to each one who attends as we are able, and often visit the sick as well.
This is a most rewarding outreach, and we welcome inquiries from those wanting to join us. If that is you then the contact is:
Heather A’Court, phone 293 2583.
Local .... Parents and Pre-Schoolers
PLAY GROUP runs on Monday mornings 9am-11.30 during school terms. There is a small charge, which covers sandwiches and drinks for the children, while the adults indulge with 'real' coffee and nice (sometimes chocolate) biscuits.
During the session we have a music time and all are invited to participate, and there is a reading room for those who don't feel like grooving with the group! There are a variety of activities to occupy the young minds... play-dough, painting, craft, bikes, roller coasters, prams, dress-ups, books, cars and puzzles, sometimes the Mums and Dads have a bit of fun too...
There are excellent parenting magazines and books, and we try to provide a nice place where parents can talk and get advice and encouragement from others.
If you have any children aged 1 month to 5 years and are currently sitting at home wondering what to do on a Monday morning, why not come along and have some fun!

Off Shore Missions….
We believe a church receives immense blessing from being involved in global mission. At Coast Community Church our involvement in global mission is by way of:
· Regular financial support to a number of mission partners and ministries.
· Prayer support. Missionary prayer requests often feature in our weekly Church newsletter.
· Promotion of short-term mission opportunities. These enable our members to see something firsthand of life in another culture and to engage with our brothers and sisters there in both practical and spiritual ministries.
While your participation in a short-term mission trip may be a great blessing and encouragement to people of another culture, the greatest blessing and impact could well be in your own life. To learn more about our church involvement in short-term missions speak with Neville and Rosemarie Forman, phone 902 3551.
Our last project involved a team visit to Fiji, on a building project - and this is what they did !
