A central feature of the Christ-following life is learning to love one another. Although, like in most churches, a lot of pastoral care is carried out by the ministry team, especially Solomzi (our minister), we also work to care for one another through various special interest groups:
WOMEN’S AUXILIARY
The Women’s auxiliary is an arm of support to the local church and is a group of enthusiastic Christian ladies from the community that meet twice a month on Tuesdays.
We meet from 9.30 am for tea and a chat and the meeting then starts at 11am until about 11.30 or 12 pm. We invite various speakers, run workshops or simply fellowship with one another and serve wherever we can, always observing our motto: TO KNOW CHRIST AND MAKE HIM KNOWN.
Our WA Affirmation:
We, the members of the Methodist Women’s Auxiliary, accept Christ as our personal Saviour and Lord, and, guided by the Holy Spirit, dedicate ourselves afresh to his service in the Church, in our homes and in our Country.
We promise to support the work of our Church and to be faithful in prayer, the study of Scripture, attendance at worship, the work of reconciliation, and the building up of the Body of Christ.
We will endeavour to lead Christ-like lives and, by example and self discipline, to act responsibly against all social evils.
With God’s help we will strive to extend God’s Kingdom on earth by prompting love and understanding among all people, seeking for justice, truth and righteousness, so that our country may be a land where God is honoured.
