The Explorers will gather again to come bring all sorts of experiences and understanding to share as they search out God's plan for their lives, His church and the world.
Explorers follow the example of the Bereans:
The Bereans lived in the Greek city of Berea, also called Beroea, in the time of the Apostle Paul, about AD 50. These people, mentioned in Acts 17, are best known for searching and studying the Bible for themselves and not merely accepting what they were taught.
Acts 17:11 NIV, records that the people in Berea “received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” This, he said, made them “of more noble character” than people in other places who just listened but didn’t actually study the Bible carefully for themselves.
Explorers ask questions like those suggested by the journalist and author Rudyard Kipling:
I keep six honest serving men, they taught me all I knew.
Their names are What and Why and When
and How and Where and Who.
The celebration of John’s life will be at the Garratt Street Centre at 2:00 pm on Thursday 19 June 2025 and will be followed by light refreshments and a time to gather to reflect and to be together.
The service will be recorded and released via YouTube and our App about an hour after the service finishes.

The Connect through Craft group meets fortnightly on a Friday in the Community Room on the Ground Level of the Garratt Street Centre.
A class, usually papercraft, is offered once per month (every second meeting) when kits are available so that you can make your own version following the sample designed.
The class offers a chance to learn new crafting techniques.
When there is no class, you are welcome to attend and bring your own project or just join us for a social outing.
Knitters and sewers in the group often produce items for local charities that are distributed in Canberra, in Australia and throughout the world.

Bookings are not required, and you may sit where you choose.
What to expect:
We expect each attendee to accept responsibility for their own health and that of others. However, some measures to reduce the risk of infections from viruses remain in place.
It is recommended that you leave an empty seat between yourself and persons who are not known to you.
Hand sanitiser, antiseptic wipes, tissues and masks are available if you require them.
Team members at the entry of the auditorium will not offer physical greetings as handshaking may spread infection throughout the congregation.
