Faith leads to action
As a congregation, we recognise the importance of the protection of children. We raise money to support child protection training in Timor Leste, and bring grocery items each Sunday to donate to Project Youth as they care for vulnerable youth across the Sutherland Shire and St George area.
We offer care and support to the staff of the Out of School Hours Care that operates on our premises, by assisting with activities as needed and bringing occasional baked treats. We write, march, and speak out on the greatest threat to the future of all children: climate change.
