ALL WELCOME
2 George St, Avalon Beach
We have been church community in beautiful Avalon for the past 60 years. We meet regularly to support each other as a community, to worship God, and to discover what it looks like to be an inclusive church in the community and for the community.
We welcome Dr. Sally and Jim Longley to our community of faith. They have a long and committed presence in this community and we feel very privileged to have them lead us, particularly in these difficult and uncertain times. Should you wish to partake by Zoom please contact Sally at sallylongley07@gmail.com. Sally and Jim will be leading our services every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. More Info
In 2023 we commence a 12-week series on the Psalms, looking at three types of Psalms. First, we look at 4 Psalms of Orientation, for when our world is well-ordered, reliable and things are going great. Then 4 Psalms of Disorientation, for when we experience the brokenness of life and everything seems chaotic. And lastly, 4 Psalms of Reorientation when God’s grace fills us with thanks and wonder, and we can re-view our life and circumstances.
In parallel will be a series of Retreats and 5th Sunday Wild Church, “Through the Seasons: Being with God.” Here we will explore the changing nature of our relationship with God through the different seasons of life and of our life experiences.

2022 EASTER GATHERINGS
AVALON BAPTIST PEACE CHURCH
Dying and Rising… This is not only Jesus’ experience, but also ours. And we experience this letting go and receiving, dying and rising, darkness and light throughout our journeys.
The Tenebrae service is a “service of shadows” – a meditation on readings from the journey of Jesus toward the cross. Through the service, candles are extinguished as Jesus gets closer to the crucifixion until the reading of the tomb where the last candle is extinguished, and we sit silently in darkness, with Jesus in the tomb. Join us as a group of Jesus disciples, drawing close to Jesus. Thursday evening 7pm – 8.15pm Creative Remembrance of the Last Supper followed by a Tenebrae Service Friday 9-9.45 The Depth of God’s Reach Sunday Sunrise Service 6.15am (meet in front of Avalon Beach Surf Club ) Sunday 10.30-12.00 Resurrection Celebration followed by potluck lunch (bring something to share)

Avalon Baptist Program Oct 2021
Theme: developing a trellis for our spiritual growth
Being a Disciple
For grapes to be fruitful they need a structure. For us to bear fruit, we too need helpful structures. We will look at some of these and see what we can put into practice, to avail ourselves of God’s work in us and through us.
