  • We have reached our target

      16 June 2026

    Thank you to everyone who has donated through Givealittle and directly to our bank account. We have now reached our original target of $13,330.00. Our Belfry has now been repaired We are at last protected from the weather and we are now waiting for a start date for the internal repairs to be completed. We are so very grateful for all the support we have received. The response to our plea has been amazing. For those early donations that did not qualify for a tax receipt, please email me with your details so that we can issue one to you.

    Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our fundraising for repairing the guttering around our Bell Tower. We have now been able to give our builders the go ahead for this much needed repair. The scaffolding was put up yesterday Monday 18th May with work to commence in the next few days. We feel so blessed for the generous support from people, not only in our community but from all walks of life far and wide. We have still a little way to go but we are sure we will get there.

    We have had more generous donations paid directly into our Church bank account which means we have again lowered our total on this forum.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported us to repair our beautiful church. We are almost there so please spread the word.

  • Total reduced due to money received direct to our bank account

      5 May 2026

    Thank you so much for everyone who is contributing directly to the church account and through Give a Little. The response has been amazing. It was great to be able to share with our church community on Sunday the overwhelming response we have had so far. Still a way to go so please share this into your communities. Thank you again.

    Yet another set back. Our insurance company has just come back to us with a final payment figure for repairing the internal panels of the church. The quote from our builder was $6212.26 + GST The insurance has taken of $40% depreciation -$3727.36 giving us only $2857.64 towards getting this fixed. I was hoping to post that we can reduce this amount further by another 2 Generous donations received into our bank account directly but now have to increase the amount again. We are heartened by the generous support we have been getting so far and ask you to share this link to as many people as possible.
