BlueCross Church Coffs Harbour » News http://coffs2.bluecross.org.au Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:02:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Hark! http://coffs2.bluecross.org.au/2008/12/19/hark/ http://coffs2.bluecross.org.au/2008/12/19/hark/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:52:10 +0000 tony http://coffs.bluecross.org.au/120/hark/ If you missed the BlueCross Christmas Concert 2008, then you missed one great concert. You missed some inspiring songs. You missed some hilarious comedy. You missed the Jam kids doing an awesome job and you missed the Grit group totally rocking in an outward direction.

Sorry to keep going on about it, but it was pretty mega. Don’t mean to rub it in or anything. You missed cardboard sheep.

But you can still have A Very BlueCross Christmas by joining us for our one-hour Christmas Day service, 9:30am on December 25th.

And while you’re marking your calendar, please note some changes to services and programs over the Christmas and New Year period. There will be no Sunday evening services from now and for all of January.

Grit and mainly music are taking a break over the school holidays. Jam is having a short break, too – no Jam on Sunday morning 28th December but will resume the next weekend.

Other than that, though, it’s business as usual so come along 10am on Sunday mornings at BlueCross!

It’s all happening from 3:30pm, with plenty for all ages, including food and drinks, jumping castle, christmas crafts and lots more.

Then at 5pm, grab a glowstick for the main event, with live music, comedy, stuff from our Jam kids and the guys and girls from Grit, and of course, your favourite Christmas carols.

Plus, help us raise money for Korora Public School with a ‘helping hand’ – buy it, decorate it, and then stick it on the Helping Hand Christmas Tree. Together we can make a difference in our community.

See you there!

(Insert egg pun here) http://coffs2.bluecross.org.au/2008/03/20/easter-insert-egg-pun-here/ http://coffs2.bluecross.org.au/2008/03/20/easter-insert-egg-pun-here/#comments Thu, 20 Mar 2008 03:31:51 +0000 tony http://coffs.bluecross.org.au/112/easter-insert-egg-pun-here/ One more sleep til Easter begins – a long weekend, a chance to eat all sorts of animal-shaped chocolate, and our Good Friday concert – Great Friday!

Great Friday is shaping up to be the best Easter themed science fiction comedy gospel musical concert you’ll see all year. It starts at 7:00pm on Good Friday and all ages are welcome.

On Easter Sunday morning, we’re heading down to Hills Beach at dawn to watch the sun come up and have a big breakfast. Then, at the more sensible hour of 10am, our Easter Sunday service begins at the church.

Happy Easter from BlueCross – hope to see you at one (or all) of these events!

Speaking of new things… we’ve given the whole website a bit of a facelift, including a section for new people, an improved gallery, and a link to our group on facebook.

The new design will also give us a bit more breathing room for all the cool ideas we have for 2008.

Hope you like it! Give us your feedback in the comments!
