Further to the above, we have also implemented the following actions:

  1. Worship services will meet in-person subject to NSW Health Guidelines and capacity limits - we will continue to livestream. Our Connect Groups and meetings will meet both in-person and via Zoom conferencing.

  2. Encourage eGiving

Our PlayGroup, Adventurer, Pathfinder, Teen and Youth programs will operate under NSW Health Guidelines. This may be via Zoom conferencing or in-person gatherings as permissible.

If you are in need of assistance with anything or just need to talk, please contact us.

Regarding your tithes and offerings, please take advantage of eGiving

In these times of physical distancing, we can of course continue to remain connected through various other means.  We encourage you to do the following:

  1. 'Like' Kellyville.Church on facebook and invite others you know to like it too. Content is regularly shared there and it is another place to interact.

  2. ‘Follow’ Kellyville.Church on instagram for bible verses and church related images and inspiration

  3. Visit the Kellyville.Church website regularly to remain up to date

  4. Subscribe and Read our What’s On email which will be sent regularly with updated information

  5. Watch the Kellyville.online.church livestream each week and interact with us

  6. Continue to meet together in small numbers to engage and share life together. 

  7. Give your tithe and offerings online using eGiving.  This is critical when we are not meeting together. Apart from day to day running costs which will still exist, we also have loan repayments to service.  Systematic online giving is going to be vital if we are to survive the coming months.  We ask that you setup a regular donation option.

  8. Contact each other regularly via phone to check-in and check-up. 

  9. Stay tuned for further creative options that we can gather together as a church community.

  10. Look for the many opportunities to serve others in and around your home, now is the time for us to be part of the solution.

Fear is a faithless coward and has no place in the lives of believers. Fear and worry have no seat at our table. We're here because God wants us here, right now, for His purpose.
Coronavirus wants you to isolate and stock up and take care of your own first. Instead, look to Him first while you take care of others. In community, we can do so much more than we can do on our own.

Ultimately, even as we pursue preventative measures and exercise wisdom in keeping ourselves and loved ones safe, our faith and security is in Jesus Christ. God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). Let’s pray, help as we can, and protect the most vulnerable in our community. I pray His promise of protection over you and your family. Let’s also pray for those affected around the world, and that the virus will be quickly contained and conquered.

Many blessings to you.
