Special Christmas Day Service – Asquith
This is our special Christmas Day Celebration Service.
It has been growing in popularity and demand as it still allows our community to get away and spend some time with their family and loved ones.
Christmas can also remind us of a painful and sad experience, so we are keen to spend time in fellowship and celebrate the greatest News ever heard.
We make time to hear the Message, sing some of our favourite carols, and enter into a period of intentional Worship.
All are welcome, and we are here for the people of Hornsby.
We always believe in God for the supernatural to occur in all our services, and Christmas is no exception.

Awakened Theatre Play – Sutherland
Awakened Theatre is a spiritual drama about the battle of good versus evil in our modern-day world and is seen through the eyes of two of the world’s most well-known historical and religious figures, Jesus Christ and Satan.
It focuses on the lives of two women, their friendship, and their own individual struggles with depression and un-addressed personal trauma.
It is a play that challenges us to think and encourages us to seek truth, love, and everlasting healing in a broken world.
Awakened Theatre will leave the audience reflecting on where we place our faith and trust as we move through a forever changing and often uncertain world.
It is also based on the true story of the writer’s own personal spiritual journey and experience
