Please note: our mid-week activities and events have been affected by Covid-19.
Small Groups
We have two groups meeting weekly to learn and grow together as we study the Bible - on Thursdays in people’s homes from 7-8.30pm, and Monday mornings from 9.30am at HBCC. The Thursday group usually focuses on questions based on the topic and Bible passage from the Sunday teaching series. On Mondays we look systematically at the Old Testament, one of the Gospels and a book from the New Testament.
Prayer Meetings
Every Sunday from 9am a small group of us meet before the service to pray. We also have a meeting for prayer after church on the third Sunday of month. We always pray to support members of our church who are serving God in Asia and in Australia.
Hospitality
Hospitality is a huge part of our life together. We seem always to be sharing food together and enjoying ourselves.
FISH (Fellowship in Someone's Home) lunches bring us together in random clusters several times a year and provide an opportunity to invite people who are not part of our church.
Our annual Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea in May now has a reputation in the area and is very well supported as a major fundraiser for important research.
