As February rolls around, members of all ages in the congregation are preparing for one of our most exciting and fulfilling experiences throughout the year, Church Camp 2023! A long-established tradition at Living Faith, this camp is a wonderful opportunity to connect and engage with each other, and God on a deeper level.
This year's theme is centered around growth, which can manifest itself in various ways. Living Faith as a Church, always strives to grow and develop itself and God's presence within the community. Last year, those efforts were certainly realised at Church Camp 2022 (Noticing God Everyday), with nearly 50 in attendance throughout the weekend.
That being said, growth is not merely about numbers, or attendance, or even simply the process of getting older.
We are hoping that this year, our church (and subsequently, our church camp), can focus on taking our time, both individually and as a spiritual body, to evolve our relationships with ourselves, each other and even the world around us. To process, heal, and connect with God during this time and beyond.
With the beautiful backdrop of coastal Victoria to aid us, we also have many activities planned to make the most of this weekend. High ropes, beach volleyball and the flying fox for the more physical and daring of camp goers, alongside morning walks, board games and puzzles for those wanting to unwind. Most excitingly of all, perhaps, is the opportunity to chat, engage and worship together.
Please pray for Church Camp 2023, that it will be a fulfilling experience where we can learn and grow to live better through God's vision.

As Vic finishes up his time with us, we are excited to welcome Ellen Grabner to the Living Faith Church Ministry Team!
Ellen joins us after a long tenure with Doncaster Church of Christ, a community we at LFC have some close connections to. At Doncaster, her role was focused on community building initiatives, and she is excited to bring her passion and expertise for inter-generational ministry to Living Faith.
Ellen will be commencing her role on February 1st, 2023, and will be inducted during the Sunday Service on the 5th of February.
Please join us in welcoming Ellen into our community.
Vic's final day at Living Faith Church was on Sunday, the 18th December. On leaving, Vic wanted to share a message with the Living Faith Church community.
Well, well, well, that was a rapid couple of years! After an unusual pandemic start, I have really enjoyed my time at Living Faith Church. You guys are a warm and welcoming community and that is your strength. Looking back, it was unique to be doing pre-recorded messages from my shed which is something new for the ministry resume, but it did provide some insight into my interests and passions as a bloke who likes to tinker. I find it very therapeutic. The wonderful ministerial service role of preaching, leading and presiding over communion is always an honour and privilege. The experience has blessed me as much as (I hope) it has blessed all of you who make up the wonderful Living Faith Church folk.
We want to thank Vic for his wonderful ministry, support and friendship shared with our LFC Community.
As we enter the Advent season, we'd like to invite everyone to join us in December for our celebrations of Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, we will be meeting at 5:00PM outside of the church for a special celebration. There will be animals, food, carols, and quality Christmas jokes, so please bring a friend and come join us for a great evening.
The following morning, Christmas Day, we will be holding a special worship service at 9:30AM. We would love to see you there!
Leading up to Christmas, we will be having our regular Sunday morning Worship Services at 10AM every week. In person services have resumed, so we would love to see you in person on Sunday morning. If you'd like to join us from home, every Sunday we live-stream our services on YouTube.
God bless you and we hope to see you this Christmas season.

Worship in person
Living Faith Church has taken advice on what is best practice since COVID restrictions have been reduced. Our goal is to ensure that our community remains as safe as possible, especially those at highest risk.
There is no cap on worship attendance for fully vaccinated members and those with medical exemption. Worshippers need to scan in and show vaccination status prior to entering for public worship.
Masks in worship will continue because it is impossible for us to ensure all worshippers keep 1.5m social distance when there is no cap on attendance.
Bringing your own communion elements will continue
Morning tea must be served to you. Do not self serve.
Worship live online
Our Worship Service is live-streamed on our YouTube channel:
