We are a group of uni students (+ some TAFE and young workers), pursuing a vast array of different career paths, but also seeking to learn more about God, our awesome creator and His Son, our saviour, Jesus Christ.

This Tuesday 2nd March we will be holding our welcome night. It kicks off at 5pm, and don’t worry- the Convention Centre is air-conditioned!!! It will be an evening where you can get a glimpse into the events we hold, what our aims are and how you can be involved. You will also get the chance to meet other students in your faculty and the older peeps of CF. Even if you’re not Christian, you’re welcome to come and check us out. There will also be a free BBQ and some classy dessert involved.

On Friday 5th March meet us at the gym on campus at 6pm and we plan to head to the tennis courts for a hit and also join us for a roast chicken dinner. Bring $3 for tea and your own racket if you have one, or we will have some spares. We look forward to seeing you there!!!

Unichurch has also kicked off for the year. We meet at the Rec Hall on the residential side of the uni near Beres Ellwood oval and the Gym at 7pm every Sunday. It’s a non-denominational service (so not specifically Anglican or Catholic or Baptist etc) and everyone is welcome. If you’ve never been to church- why not just rock up and check us out?

So until….

You can search for bible passages both by reference and also key words. There are also other great features such as a topical index, where you can search for bible references to a particular topic e.g. Holy spirit,  as well as bible reading plans.

Covenant Eyes

Since you must have access to the internet to read this post, this website if for you. It is a service that provides a powerful accountability system for anyone using the internet, especially for those struggling with pornography. The internet is such an anonymous environment and allows virtually no obvious consequences for your actions. This organisation helps you put a consequence into it, making it safer for you, allowing the glorification of God to continue even online.

The idea is: You sign up and download a program that will record every website that you visit, and you choose a few people that you trust (5 is best) to receive a report rating all those websites. It is on all the time that you are online, and doesn’t miss a beat. The people who the reports go to also need to understand how it works and need to be prepared to talk to you about anything that comes up on the report.

Check it out, it does cost a little bit of money to sign up, but what is of more value? purity?

So until next week…

This has made April’s website of the month the website of this very church: www.marshillchurch.org 

Check it out, all of the talks from the past 2-3 years are available for download. The talks range from practical series including “Men and Masculinity” and “Women and Femininity to exegetic series of many books of the bible, special topic such as Dating, Faith and Works, Alcohol, Christian Humour, and of course doctrinal and theological topics explaining what Christians (should) believe, who Jesus is and how to be a Christian in today’s Church.

But be warned, don’t expect to do anything else for an hour or more, because these really are thorough talks, but don’t worry about getting distracted or getting bored, because I was also serious when I said they were engaging.

So until next month…
