Month: June 2021

Physical Gatherings Cancelled This Weekend

Government announcements about Covid today have indicated that there are increased restrictions on travel that have impacted many of our leaders who are now unable to attend gatherings this weekend.

As a result we don’t have the ministry resources across all our services this weekend. The decision has been made to suspend physical gatherings. We will be broadcasting digital gatherings on Facebook @soulrevivalchurch

Broadcasts will run at 5.30pm Saturday night, 9.30am Sunday morning and 5.30pm Sunday night.

The Friday night gathering however will proceed as we have ministry leadership resources to run FUSE, the Gathering and Youth.

We also have the resources to run James and Courtney’s Wedding tomorrow, so that will continue at this stage.

We are able to continue to run the Friday Gathering and the Wedding because those involved in leading the service and the Wedding have not been impacted by the LGA lockdowns. However, given the number of leaders who have indicated that they are not able to attend this weekend due to the LGA lockdowns, we are not confident that we have enough people to lead and contribute to our other gatherings and associated ministries.

BEK, BRAYDEN AND IVY

Congratulations as Ivy Passes Puppy School

This year we were exited to welcome Brayden to the Soul Revival Staff Team as a Student Minister. Brayden and Bek have been long term members of our community since we launched in 2011. Bek is currently working with The Australian College of Theology as the Academic Administrative Officer.

Brayden is working as our Friday Night Gathering Pastor. This year Brayden and Bek have been leading the Friday Night Gathering. At the start of the year the gathering numbered 40 people per week. Currently the Gathering has grown to highs of 60 per week.

Brayden has finished his first semester at Moore College, studying a Bachelor of Divinity. He is currently preparing for his first Semester Exams.

Bek and Brayden have grown their family this term as they adopted their new puppy, Ivy who is a very cute Cavoodle.

Please continue to pray for Brayden and Bek as they minister among us.

Are you following our Shock Absorber Podcasts?

We have been having a lot of fun with recording the Shock Absorber podcast as we dive deep into the Soul Revival ministry and the Shock Absorber principles it is based on.

In Season 1, Joel and Stu looked at how Soul Revival developed as a youth ministry, while Season 2 explores the planting and history of Soul Revival Church.

The podcast comes out weekly and has resulted in May being our biggest month of downloads yet (245). We have also been contacted by many people around Australia who are interested in talking about the all-age, all-stage expression of church that we favour here at Soul Revival.

Episode 7 of Season 2 just came out on Friday! You can listen to it and all the other episodes anywhere you get your podcasts. You can also catch the Season 2 videos on YouTube.

If you have any questions about the podcast, please chat to our Digital Pastor, Joel McMaster.
