Spin Camp

Do you like camping and sharing time with other people who like to have fun? Here’s an idea! SPIN is a four-day, three-night, statewide camp in January (14th -17th) for young people in years 4-6 (in 2024) to experience an inclusive and encouraging community and grow in relationship with Jesus and others. 

This year’s theme is ‘Out of this World’. Significant sponsorship is offered to first time campers by the LLL (You just pay $50). For those who have attended this camp before, Good Shepherd church offers a subsidy, just ask Georgie. The camp is held at Camp Kedron, Barmera (Riverland SA). For more information, contact Georgie here, or head to SPIN to register.

Caring Conversations

Yesterday’s Worship focussed on the Christmas songs that you might be hearing around the place. What is your favourite Christmas carol or song and why? Here are some more conversation starters for your family and friends!
