Hebrews 10:24-25 talks about the importance of meeting together in order to encourage one another and so our church community are encouraged to find one, two or three other people to meet with regularly to go Up, In and Out:

1. Talk all things God (UP)
2. Support each other (IN) and
3. Reach out to others (OUT)

Don’t know what to talk about?

• There is no prescriptive formula for you to follow, however, you may wish to do a Discovery Bible Method.
• You are encouraged to talk about how you are travelling in life, and encourage and support each other as needed.
• And how about talking about ways that you can support others as a group? Perhaps supporting other families that you know are in need, engaging in a local mission, or supporting an overseas cause.
  You may find Baptist World Aid a useful resource.
• We would also love to hear your stories, so please share them with us at info@careychurch.asn.au.

Looking for a new hobby, or are more experienced and would like to meet with other quilters? Our Carey Quilters would love to meet you too!

We meet in the Youth Room next to Timber Cafe, on the Harrisdale Campus

• Thursdays (during school terms) 9am and 12:15pm

Please contact Wendy Devlin for more information.

Carey Church & JUMP Carey Early Development bring you a free community initiative, called Play Place.

Thursdays during terms between 9:30am to 11am.

This is a place for our kids to have some fun, and sometimes get a little messy! Kids need to wear play clothes and bring a piece of fruit to share. Stay for as long or as little as you like. We hope to see you there!

For more information, visit the Jump office, or call (08) 9394 9175. 

Carey has established a Fathering Project group to give Dads a boost in their fathering role.
Throughout the year events such as picnics, camps, hikes etc will be promoted in the local community.

The Fathering Project is a University of Western Australia-based non-profit team of professionals whose aim is to help fathers realise how important they are in a child’s life and to give them advice on how to encourage their children. More information can be found at the Fathering Project website.

Their work is also aimed at father figures such as grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, mentors, youth leaders, teachers, pastors and coaches, knowing that many children do not have much father contact at all.

This work was triggered by statistics that show that:

Whilst mothers are usually involved in children’s lives, education and health matters, many fathers are not as involved as they could be.

This father-absence has a major impact on education (e.g. on attitude to school, truancy and bullying), health (more drug addiction, depression, cigarette smoking) and crime.

The cost of this problem to the Australian community is estimated to be over $12 billion per year, so this intervention could save many millions of dollars each year.
