The Op Shop will be closed for Winter Break during the School Holidays.
The Op Shop will re-open on 22 July, 2025.
Join with others at the Garratt St Centre to worship when we continue our study of the I Am statements of Jesus.
Bookings are not required, and you may sit where you choose.
What to expect:
We expect each attendee to accept responsibility for their own health and that of others. However, some measures to reduce the risk of infections from viruses remain in place.
It is recommended that you leave an empty seat between yourself and persons who are not known to you.
Hand sanitiser, antiseptic wipes, tissues and masks are available if you require them.
Team members at the entry of the auditorium will not offer physical greetings as handshaking may spread infection throughout the congregation.
Open the PDF for details about the style of our worship services and to find out how to load the Church App and use the RSVP function.
The Connect through Craft group meets fortnightly on a Friday in the Community Room on the Ground Level of the Garratt Street Centre.
A class, usually papercraft, is offered once per month (every second meeting) when kits are available so that you can make your own version following the sample designed.
The class offers a chance to learn new crafting techniques.
When there is no class, you are welcome to attend and bring your own project or just join us for a social outing.
Knitters and sewers in the group often produce items for local charities that are distributed in Canberra, in Australia and throughout the world.
Send a message to let the facilitator knows you are coming.

As we return from the Winter School Holidays, let's enjoy a light lunch of soup and rolls in the warmth of the ground level rooms - the Seminar and Board Rooms and the Community Room.
Enjoy some time together to reconnect before the school term and its events start.
The Explorers will gather again to come bring all sorts of experiences and understanding to share as they search out God's plan for their lives, His church and the world.
Explorers follow the example of the Bereans:
The Bereans lived in the Greek city of Berea, also called Beroea, in the time of the Apostle Paul, about AD 50. These people, mentioned in Acts 17, are best known for searching and studying the Bible for themselves and not merely accepting what they were taught.
Acts 17:11 NIV, records that the people in Berea “received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” This, he said, made them “of more noble character” than people in other places who just listened but didn’t actually study the Bible carefully for themselves.
Explorers ask questions like those suggested by the journalist and author Rudyard Kipling:
I keep six honest serving men, they taught me all I knew.
Their names are What and Why and When
and How and Where and Who.
The following ministries start in the first week of School Term:
Tuesday Bible Study at Greenway
Tuesday Explorers
Wednesdays Coffee with Rob
Girls' Brigade
Boys' Brigade
Kids' Church
Boys' Brigade meets at 6.30 pm each Thursday during school term at the Garratt Street Centre - the home of Tuggeranong Baptist Church.
RSVP to let us know you are coming and to send a message to the captain.
