LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR EASTER APPEAL
This Easter, we invite you to join us in loving our neighbours—both as a church community and as individuals. It is a chance to connect, show kindness, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us.
Loving our neighbours isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about consistent, practical actions that create real change. Use what you have, connect with those around you, and together we can make a difference this Easter.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS YOU CAN BE INVOLVED THIS YEAR
PRAY & CONNECT
Look for opportunities to be intentional about loving your neighbour in your daily life. Download the Community Impact Guide for practical ideas and prayer points to help you get started. Making a difference doesn’t have to be complicated—it starts with small, intentional steps of kindness and care.
BRING DONATIONS
Each campus is partnering with local organisations to support and collect items that help meet a specific need. You can help by finding out below what your campus is collecting and bring new and unused donations to the foyers on Sunday, 13 April, or at any time over the Easter weekend.
CAMPUS DONATIONS
When purchasing donated items, we encourage you to think of individual recipients. For example, $25 gift vouchers are a great choice—larger amounts can be difficult to distribute, while smaller amounts help provide more consistent support to more people.
Important Donation Guidelines
To help us offer the best support to both the organisations and recipients, please keep in mind:
Thank you for your generosity!
