Sr Elaine Weymark’s Farewell

On Sabbath, 13th November, we had a special afternoon meeting at Schofields Church to celebrate and farewell one of our most valued church members. Sr Elaine Weymark has moved up the NSW coast to be closer to her children, and before she left we thought it fitting to spend an afternoon reminiscing on her time with us over the years. Br Joe Voncina led the meeting, and we were favoured with musical items and personal testimonies from members of the…

NSW Churches Re-open for Worship

Sabbath morning saw many happy faces as the much awaited-for day had come. Many eager Schofields Church members, families and friends were finally able to meet together for worship in God’s house once more. During the lockdown, the children’s Sabbath School room was divided into two functional rooms, so when the children returned, they were surprised to see their new rooms and enjoyed their separate spaces. There were two meetings on the day: Sabbath School and Divine Service. The hymns…

Amphitheatre Stage Reconstruction

Elim Heights Youth Camp At the time when the bushfires went through the Elim Heights Youth Camp, it not only destroyed some of the buildings that were standing, but also burnt down the stage at the outside amphitheater. Brother Keith Robertson has been kind enough to take under his wings the re-construction of this stage. It gives us pleasure to report to you that this work is now fully completed and looking beautiful. We would like to express our gratitude…

Combined Sabbath at Elim Heights Youth Camp

Over 60 people joined together for worship and fellowship. These included a few visitors as well. The morning meetings were held in the outdoor Amphitheatre, which was truly amazing. Even…

Children’s Sabbath – Guildford WA

“And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Luke 18:15-16. Due to the large number of children attending the Guildford Church each week, it was decided that it would be very beneficial to hold a Children’s Sabbath every two months,…

WA Field Camp 2021

“It’s Closer Than You Think” 24-29 September 2021 For the past couple of years, the WA Field Conference has been held at the Barbers’ farm, but this year it was inaccessible due to flooding. So instead, it was held at the Lausevics’ property. Those that were staying overnight started arriving a couple of hours before sunset on Friday, and there was a bit of a scramble to set up and find enough extra blankets, because it was just as cold…
