How are you feeling now that more restrictions are lifting?

I was asked this morning how I feel about holding a Christmas Carols Service without wearing masks!? I’ll look forward to that!

 

Meantime, masks are still required for this Sunday. We hope you will attend either our 8am unstated service (for 26 people), the 9:15am vaccinated only service (now with limitless numbers), or the 10:30am unstated service (with up to 53 people). Though not compulsory, it would still be helpful for you to pre-register your planned attendanceHERE.Thank you.

If you are choosing to stay home, you can access the Children’s Activity booklets HERE. And the adult’s message is below. Click on the triangle in the image to hear Alex speak on Malachi 3:16-4:6.

COMPLIANCE MATTERS
The diocese of Melbourne is launching a new platform to help us meet our compliance standards with new online training. All volunteers at CCD will need to complete level 1 before February 28th, 2022. You can complete it online at home in about an hour, and its fun! Plus, you get a certificate at the end.
We will send a letter to all our volunteers about this, and we will also offer group training in late January and February next year. If you’d rather get started now you can click on this link and go for it!

You will need to cover the cost of $20 to access the training and we ask you to submit the receipt to the church office for reimbursement. We want to invest in you and cover your training costs because you are worth it. We value and appreciate your service of God and His people at CCD.  

National Church Life Survey 
CCD will be taking part in the National Church Life Survey which we plan to send out via email very soon. We hope all will take part.
