Saturday 24 September | 8.30am – 12.30pm

Kirrawee Campus: 40A Flora Street Kirrawee

Soul Revival Church has been blessed to be given garments by Cue Clothing over the years. These garments are seconds or out-of-season stock. We have sold these at an event we call Fashion at the Factory.

We have raised over $60,000 which has gone primarily to our aboriginal partners in Brewarrina, helping to support purchases like the bus used for their youth group and the fit-out for their church which is used to support the local community.

Plants, courtesy of Chris and Barb Sargeant will be for sale as well.

 

 

No Services at Kirrawee, Cronulla or Yarrawarrah 8-10 July 2022

There will be no gatherings this weekend (8- 10 July) at any of our regular locations. This is because this weekend marks the beginning of Week Away – our annual holiday together. Instead, all our services will be held at the Shoalhaven Campsite instead of our regular locations.

For those not coming away this year, there are plenty of Soul Revival sermons online on Spotify or you could visit the Soul Revival Youtube Channel and check out one of our Chip Lunch or Shock Absorber podcasts if you are not getting down to Week Away this year.

All gatherings will be back next week at our usual times and locations.

 

Easter Services 2022

Celebrating Easter together at Soul Revival Church

Easter is a special time for all who follow the Risen Lord Jesus. It’s extra special for us at Soul Revival Church because it is one of the times of year that our 6 gatherings across 4 campuses join together as one Church.

This year, we will celebrate as one Church over 3 days with a gathering on each day.

GOOD FRIDAY (April 15)

We kick off our Easter Weekend on Good Friday to celebrate the victory Jesus won for us on the cross. There will be plenty of Hot Cross Buns to be enjoyed afterwards.

9:30 am at the Factory, 40A Flora Street, Kirrawee

EASTER SATURDAY (April 16)

Come and enjoy a coffee and a chat from 5:00 pm as we celebrate Easter Saturday together. Then stay back for dinner after the gathering.

5:00 pm at the Factory, 40A Flora Street, Kirrawee

EASTER SUNDAY with BAPTISMS (April 17)

On Easter Sunday we celebrate that Jesus is Risen and the new hope we have in Him.

8:30 am – bacon and egg rolls

9:30 am – open-air service by the river

10:30 am – baptisms

Swallow Rock Reserve, Grays Point

Please note that the ground is wet and muddy in patches. It would probably be best to bring a chair rather than a picnic rug.

Parking is limited so we suggest the following:

  • Park at Grays Point Soccer Oval and be transported down to Swallow Rock Reserve in a shuttle bus we have hired. The shuttle bus will run from 8 am – 9.30 am. A return shuttle bus will run from 11.00 am
  • Park nearby and walk down to Swallow Rock Reserve.

Please note, that if there are any changes to our Easter celebration at Swallow Rock due to the weather, we will post changes on our Facebook page.

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.

You can listen to the Podcasts Here

You can watch Episode 2 of Season 2 below

Soul Revival @ Cronulla

Our second week of our relaunch was very cool with drone footage to prove it. Check out the video to get a glimpse of the action.

We had lots of fun eating some amazing Paella (big thank you to Stu, Brooke and Matt), we sang praises to our great God, we heard a cracker of a sermon from Stu and enjoyed a great time hanging out with over 50 of us.

We were able to build on our warm, welcoming and friendly vibe. We had the opportunity to try out a few things by using our new rugs and new lamps, it really is starting to feel very homely.

A couple of new people came to check out what is going on and one of our friends from Cronulla Anglican came to encourage us as well.

We are greatly encouraged that people are praying for us and are excited about what we are doing at Cronulla.

Let’s keep going and remain steadfast in prayer as we continue to share the truth and love of Jesus.
