THIS WEEK'S PASTOR'S DESK
Here’s the thing for me; there have been many times I have wished or prayed that God would write His will on the wall for me. I don’t mean to be demanding – I would happily make it a question so all He needs to give me is a simple “yes” or “no”. That would suffice! But funnily enough, God has never done this for me.…[CONTINUE READING]
THIS SUNDAY
This Sunday, we’ll be worshiping together, praying for our state and nation and ministering to those with prayer requests. In our 10:00AM service, Pastor Andrew Corbett will be recommencing the series – The Last Gospel, John’s Gospel of Belief; “Sixth Sign: A Man Born Blind Sees!”. Immediately after our morning service at 12:05PM, we will be holding our AGM. If you’re joining with us online, leave a comment on YouTube or on Facebook at let us know where you’re watching from.
A FRIENDLY VIDEO CHAT AFTER THE SERVICE IN OUR ZOOM FOYER
At Legana Christian Church if you join our 10am Sunday service online you have a chance to meet with others after the service via Zoom for a short video ‘coffee and chat time’ in our Zoom Foyer. You can join others face-to-face and chat over a cuppa straight after the service before heading off for the rest of your day. You are welcome to give this a try if you want to connect with others but for some reason can’t attend church in person. Come along once … come along every week, stay a few minutes … stay until it closes, it’s up to you. All you need to do is click on the link a couple of minutes after the service finishes and wait to be welcomed in. Choose to connect … choose to be encouraged and choose to encourage others [CLICK HERE].
If you have any questions you can talk to Kate Smith or send her an email kate@legana.org.

ABOUT PARTNERSHIP
WHY PARTNERSHIP?
The relationship between a follower of Christ and His Church is that of a family where there is deep love for each other. The Scriptures say that God sets the solitary into a “family” (Psalm 68:6). Families are held together by love, not rules, constitutions, or contracts. The Church is described in Scripture as a family “household” with “members” (Eph. 2:19) in the same way that any family has ‘members’. Families are places of love and commitment which cultivate trust. And it’s the same in a local church. Believers belong because they are placed together by God (1Cor. 12:24). Just as in any family household, God places authority within that household. Usually in a natural family that is the role of the parents. In a church it is its leadership comprised of pastors and elders, a management board, team and department leaders, and home-group leaders…[More]
