To all our mighty Grace Men ❤❤❤ Happy Father's Day!

Just a reminder that our Father's Day service is on THIS SUNDAY.

The Men of the House are going to be spoilt as we celebrate them, and more importantly we are going to lavish praise on our Heavenly Father!

See you there - and don't forget to bring your friends and family ❤😄

Our Father's Day service is coming up NEXT SUNDAY!! On 1st September we are celebrating all our Mighty Men of God, with treats galore for all.

So bring along all your family and friends, and let's make our awesome men feel extra special ❤❤❤

Our next 'More' night is coming up this Sunday at 5pm, with Sue Keightly leading us in a focus on healing. For those who don't know, Sue has many years of experience with Healing Rooms Australia, and we are excited to hear what God has placed on her heart to share.

Come ready to worship, pray and seek His face, and receive the touch of heaven from our faithful Father.

FAMILY ❤❤❤

A beautiful, all-in Family Service on Sunday, with so many hearts and hands contributing to make it a special time in the presence of God.

We love you! And love doing this journey of life and faith with you ❤

It's that time again! Family Service is THIS Sunday, and we can't wait to see you all as we worship, praise, share laughter, and seek His face together as a whole family.

And of course there is the BBQ lunch afterwards so we all get to hang out some more! See you then Grace Church 🎉🎉🎉

What an incredible time we've had over the last 4 days! As with every Powerhouse Conference, we received the MORE of the Lord as we've pressed in together, and we are so grateful.

A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible. For everything you did, large or small, we see it, and more importantly, He sees it. We pray blessings and rest upon you in the coming weeks.

And we pray too that the Lord would seal His Word upon the hearts of everyone who came, and take you ever deeper into His glorious love, that you would walk in the calling you have received.

For those who would like to listen to the sessions, we have recorded most of them, and these will be made available soon.

Blessings upon you Grace Church.

"Catch me up in Your Story, all my life for Your Glory."

Yesterday at Powerhouse was epic! The intimacy of the worship, the unpacking of the five-fold gifts in the messages, workshops on 'Songs of Life / Songwriting' and 'Living you Prophetic Purpose', and the night finishing with salvations. Praise You Lord for all that You have done so far! And there is still so much more to come.

Today's day session starts at 9:30am, so come along. Even if you haven't registered, you can do so at the door, so don't let that stop you!

Tonight's session is at 6:30pm and totally free, so bring your family and friends and let's press in for MORE of Him together.

Our Powerhouse conference began last night with a such a sweet sense of His presence, as we offered to God a new song of praise for this season we are in. The spirit of heaviness was broken off and a spirit of Joy released, as we lay aside everything to pursue Him.

Ps Jared Grant bought a powerful Word, confirming our role as priests (1 Peter 2:9) ministering before the Lord and administering blessing upon others. We are to be His vessels, carriers of His presence to the world around us as we dwell in intimacy and connection to Him. Amen!

Today's session kicks off at 9:30am, with doors open at 9am. Tonight begins at 6:30pm. We'll see you there!

The key scripture laid on our hearts is Ephesians 4:11-13;

“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

The theme of the conference this year is “MORE”. Our hearts’ desire for 2024 has been more of whatever God needs to do in us to bring us into the maturity and the full measure of Christ! More empowering, more truth, more revelation of Identity in Him, more love, more light, more humility, more fruit, more gifts, more healing, more clarity, more purpose, more intimacy with Holy Spirit.

We hope you can join us!



Register today and we'll see you there!

THIS Sunday we have Guest speaker Pat Steele from Youth for Christ Australia, joining us for our 9:30am service.

Pat has a passionate heart for evangelism, and is seeing an incredible move of God amongst people (young and old) around our nation.

Come along and hear testimonies from their teams of street evangelists, and be inspired by the work of our awesome God!

Far from being just a nice sentiment, the Bible speaks of the act of blessing as a catalyst for destiny.

It awakens purpose, establishes justice, restores God's order and releases His life inside those to whom the blessing is given.

God's intention for us was always "life to the full". (John 10:10) And it still is. He has so much good stored up, just waiting to be released. Do you want to receive it?

We are gathering at the end of July to pursue MORE of God, to receive the fullness of His blessing. Don't miss out... register today to hear from Ps Jared Grant and our other speakers and be part of this powerful time of impartation.

Jesus is our anchor, keeping us steadfast and secure. Whatever storms may come, we will not be blown off course when we have our hope resting in Him. (Hebrews 6:19)

We can't wait to hear Christina Nicotra speak at our upcoming Powerhouse conference! Register today and get ready to be blessed. https://www.gracechurchpm.org.au/powerhouse-conference-2024

Powerhouse 2023 was such a special time of encounter and impartation. Prophetic words, healing and anointing flowed, breaking bo***ge and releasing us into our calling, both as individuals and as a church.

What was your favourite moment?

Our conference this year is called 'More' for a reason. It is very simple. We want MORE of Him. More of what He has stored up. More of what He is waiting to do, to bring us into the maturity and the full measure of Christ. Thank You Lord that You fill our hungry hearts to overflowing!

Our Combined Churches worship event is happening NEXT Saturday 22nd June at 5pm at St. Thomas Church!

This is a special night to come Together with the churches of Port Macquarie, joining hearts, hands and voice in one accord. We are also celebrating the 200 year anniversary of St. Thomas Church, and raising vital funds for SRE resources, allowing the gospel to reach children all over Port Macquarie.

So mark this in your diaries, and we'll see you at St. Thomas Church, 50 Hay Street Port Macquarie. (There is also a sausage sizzle following the service, perfect for an easy dinner!)

Our Family Service is back this Sunday at 9.30am, and so are the round tables!

We are looking forward to gathering together to worship, to discuss all things family, to have fun and laugh together, and to top it all off with a BBQ lunch.

What could be better? We'll see you then Church!

It was a beautiful day in the House as we celebrated all our "Women of Grace" on Mother's Day!

We were blessed by special worship items, videos, gifts, morning tea treats, and of course a powerful testimony from our very own Jodie Lindfield. She shared her story of restoration and healing in motherhood, and the transformative power of the Word of God outworked in her life.

If you missed it, you can catch it on our YouTube channel by clicking the link below. You will be blessed!

We are looking forward to celebrating all our wonderful Grace women this Sunday on Mother's Day! Joining us is special guest speaker Leanne Johnston, who has an amazing testimony of the love of God through some very difficult seasons.

There will also be a delicious morning tea and photo booth following the 9.30am service, so bring along your friends and family, and let's celebrate together!

Yesterday we welcomed guest speaker Peter McHugh from Stairway Church Melbourne. He gave a thoughtful and inspired message of what it means to walk with God. This he summarised in a simple statement - "Learning to walk with God means learning to walk in mystery, through discovery, for the purpose of transformation, that we might bear his image."

If we are to bear the image of Jesus, then the central image that would be portrayed would have to be the image of love, as outlined in John 15:1-10.

Please take some time during the week to meditate on this powerful word, and how to experience greater transformation and fruitfulness as a result of His tender care of us.

Today we remember all those who risked their lives for our freedom, and pray for those who serve our country.

We can't wait to have Peter McHugh from Stairway Church in Melbourne join us in just 2 weeks time! Peter will be our special guest speaker at both the Men's Breakfast on Saturday 4th May, and then at our Sunday morning service on 5th May.

So save the date in your diaries now, and get ready to be encouraged and inspired by the message Holy Spirit is laying on Peter's heart.

This Sunday we have a free BBQ lunch after the service! So stick around for a snag and a chat, meet someone new, and enjoy family time together ❤

"Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.

For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love."

Psalm 33:4

What a fantastic day we had yesterday! Honouring Jesus and all that He accomplished "Lest we forget" during the morning service, followed by 5 people from all generations publicly declaring their faith in Him through Water Baptism.

We are so blessed to have such a beautiful church family, on fire for God and sharing our faith with the world. And there is still more!

See you tomorrow for our Easter Services, at 9.30am and 5pm, with Paul and Monika Zanardo bringing the Word.

"For God so loved YOU, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn you, but to save you through Him." - John 3:16-17 (paraphrased)

Take some time today to marvel at His extraordinary love for you, to rest in gratitude for His sacrifice, and remember again all that was accomplished.

Carin Bohlscheid gave us a fantastic word on Sunday, encouraging us to stay refreshed in the Lord and in His Word, so that we can go the distance. (Hebrews 12:1-2)

Definitely worth a second listen, and feel free to pass on to your friends!
