Children at CAC
When families choose which church to attend, the children’s ministry will be
high on their list of priorities. Parents will want to ensure that their children are

well taught, welcomed, have fun and meet friends.
CAC does not have the biggest and flashiest children’s ministry around but
children have always been an important part of our church. Our emphasis is on
teaching the Scriptures in a loving and fun environment.
Our main children’s ministry is on Sunday mornings. We have groups for
crèche (under 3), preschool (3 to 5 year-olds), infants (5 to 8 year-olds),
primary (8 to 12 year-olds) and young teenagers.
On a normal Sunday morning the children start off with the main congregation
singing songs. We love having them as a part of our church. They then move to
the small hall where they listen to a talk and sing more songs. They then break
into their groups for age appropriate teaching.
This term they are learning from the Old Testament stories in the books of
Exodus and Joshua, whilst the preschool group is looking at the topic of prayer.
They are currently raising money for Bibles to be sent to South Africa.
The Sunday School is led by able adult teachers with the assistance of
teenagers as helpers.
Our Sunday school coordinator is Adam Macbeth. Adam has believed in Jesus
from an early age, is married to Nadine and is father of Joel (yr 7) and Lucas
(yr 4). Adam believes that Sunday School should be biblically based, fun and
relevant.

What happens in the home is ultimately important for our children’s Christian
formation. Adam firmly believes in the role of a believing, present, loving
Christian father who is honest about his shortcomings but open about his walk
with Christ. This will give children the best chance of knowing the gospel for
themselves and following Jesus for eternity. Adam believes that father’s should
be supported and prayed for.
Adam is always looking for people to teach and help. If you are interested in
this ministry then please contact him at [email protected].

"Do not judge, and you will not be
judged. Do not condemn, and you
will not be condemned. Forgive, and
you will be forgiven." (Luke 6:37)
Praise:
Praise the Lord for the knowledge,
through His Word, that there is
nowhere that the Lord is not
present. He is personally present not infused into things like a great
force, rather personally present,
watching,
speaking,
knowing.
(Psalm 139:7-10)
Thank God for the CAC person
generously providing a car for the
Cushieri's,
and
another
Sydneysider willing to help the kids
with English while they are in
Australia. Also thank God for the
end of the Uni academic year
overseas,
and
the
many
opportunities they had to share the
gospel.
Pray:
• For the children and youth of
CAC who are receiving teaching
from the bible that will strengthen
their faith and enable them to share
the joy and peace that only Jesus
gives.
• Pray today for the broken
hearted, that those known to God
would feel His presence, His love
and
His
comfort.
Pray
for
opportunities to share the love of
God and take someone new to
Church next Sunday, that they may
come to know they are highly valued
by a God, who gave his Son for
them.
•Pray that Cherrybrook High
School students will take the time
to reflect on Jesus' sacrifice at the
Cross and come to a deeper
appreciation of its meaning.
•Pray for the solid establishment of
the work of Global Recordings in
PNG. There are recordings in 570
languages to distribute, and many
more yet to be made.
•Pray for Pakistan. That the
government will act positively to
eliminate the bias against minority
citizens. That Christians will conduct
their lives to demonstrate the Biblical
truth that "they will know you by
your love".
Winter Retreat 2017
The next Winter Retreat will be held
on August 4–6 2017. Winter Retreat
is one of the best opportunities in
our church life to spur each other on
in the Christian walk; please save
the date.
Global Recording Network
2017 Mission Trip to Nepal
After Christmas 2016, for about
three weeks, Ranjit and Janette
Thambyrajah will be taking a
Trekabout team to Nepal to share
the gospel. Trekabout will require a
high level of fitness as it involves
potentially mountainous trekking.
You will need to be able to cope
with unforeseen situations and trust
God through them. If you feel that
God is leading you to this, please
talk to Ranjit and Janette.
