Events

St Tom’s runs many events and programs running throughout the year. Some of them include:

Good News Week

Good News Week is an annual community event for the people of Cranebrook and Castlereagh which runs in the Easter school holidays. It includes mid-week activities for school-aged children (such as Kids Club, Sports Clinic, Dance Clinic and Craft Clinic), the Family Fun Day on Saturday and Church in the Park and Church in the Dark on Sunday.

LifeWorks and Just For Starters

The LifeWorks Course aims to provide those wanting to know more about what we believe with a basic understanding of Christianity. The course is run at St Tom’s on Tuesday evenings in May and June, and provides participants with a welcoming and relaxing environment where they can listen to a short talk and have conversations with those on their table. Dinner, dessert and drinks are served and children’s programs are provided so parents can enjoy a distraction-free evening.

Just For Starters is a Bible Study Group which commences shortly after the LifeWorks course finishes. It is aimed at those who have completed LifeWorks and are interested in more in-depth study of Christianity and Christian living.

The Marriage Course

The Marriage Course is a very practical, seven-week course for couples. It aims to give any married couple (or any couple in a long-term relationship, such as a de-facto relationship) the tools to build a strong and healthy marriage that lasts a lifetime. Over seven evenings spent together, couples talk about important issues that can get swept under the carpet in the rush of daily life.

Privacy as a couple is always respected. There is no group discussion and no requirement to disclose anything about your relationship to anyone else.

The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.

Carols in the Park

Carols in the Park is another opportunity for St Tom’s to give something back to the community of Cranebrook. Every year, thousands of people attend and enjoy the BBQ dinner, short talk, Christmas carols and fireworks display. It’s a great opportunity for the community to get together!
