29 August 2021

As most of you will be aware this coming Sunday (the 5th Sunday in our new rhythm) is our scheduled church picnic which we will be gathering at the function room at the Coogee SLSC for an indoor/outdoor picnic. This means we will be by the beach while safely sheltered from the elements and importantly also able to still do baptisms (which will be viewable from the deck area). Have a look at Adam’s video above for more details. The venue has plenty of parking, a cafe from which to procure hot beverages and also full disabled access. So please come along, support those getting baptised. Here’s the specifics:

When: This Sunday the 29th August at 10am.
Where: Coogee Surf Life Saving Club, 20 Poore Grove, Coogee
Map: www.tiny.cc/picnicspot
What: Bring your picnic, your picnic blanket and your community spirit.

4pm Worship & Prayer - Prayer Service

We also wanted to give you a heads up for what we are also planning for the 4pm service on the 29th. We are gathering for a time of prayer and worship back at Hammond Rd as we pray with a global focus. Red Door Youth will be running from 4pm as well in unit 6. See you there.

9 May 2021

We are on this Sunday morning the 9th May at 10am WITHOUT Masks! Good news!

This Sunday is Mothers Day and we are starting a new series entitled ‘Seek First His Kingdom’. We will be holding a 10am service at 33 Hammond Rd with RedKids running. An important note is that we are NOT having a 4pm service this Sunday (including no Red Door Youth service) in order that you can spend the afternoon with your mum - please take the arvo to celebrate and encourage the significant women in your life and bless them.

2 May 2021

In light of the change to restrictions announced by the government on Thursday evening, we’ve made the call to not gather this Sunday for our 10am and 4pm services at Hammond Road but to instead gather in HouseChurch groups. The current updated restrictions, that will come into effect as of Saturday, allow for gatherings in homes of up to 30 people. Therefore, you will be able to gather this weekend with your HouseChurch group and we’d really encourage you to do so. Youth will again gather via Zoom.

As usual all the content will be available as soon as possible at www.thereddoor.cc/house

Just to note, under the updated restrictions we are allowed to gather again corporately but the wearing of masks would be required. Wearing masks in a corporate worship gathering is challenging for a number of different reasons which is why we made the call to do HouseChurch instead. This Sunday we had planned to do our Red Door Report. For the uninitiated, the Red Door Report is something we do annually where we give an update on all the facts and stats relating to our church and present key thoughts on the way forward for Red Door. It’s a really important Sunday in the life of our church.

Because it is so important, we did wrestle with whether doing the Red Door Report via video in a HouseChurch context was the best option and if it would actually be better to postpone it. But, as we prayed and pondered, we decided that there was a real opportunity for the Report to be shared in this way. The key benefit we felt was that the HouseChurch context provides an opportunity for what is presented to not just be heard but to be discussed and prayed through also. Due to the significant nature of parts of this years Report we believe this will be incredibly helpful for us all.

If you are not yet in a HouseChurch group you can still do HouseChurch with your family or on your own depending on your circumstances. We know this isn’t ideal for some but we would still love for you to be a part of what is being shared this weekend.
