Helping you better connect with Camden Valley Church

Good evening, Good morning, G'day everyone

Thank you, from the Community Engagement Team, to everyone who attended our Community Prayer Service on Australia Day. It went off tremendously with about 60-70 people attending which included representatives from about 10 churches.

Some of the attendees and the presenters:


See below for our Women's Events and to meet out CVC Children's Ministry Team.


This Sunday (Feb 8)

During our 8am Teaching Service this Sunday we will be learning about Noah. For the keen ones, the notes are already on the website.

In the 10am Family Service there will be another Signup Sunday opportunity (where we will share some of the needs in our church and give you the opportunity to sign-up to assist in areas that you are willing and led) as well as a Finance February update. 


Tearfund Action Group

This group is a mix between a Connect Group and a service group, with a heart for justice. Supported by Tearfund Australia, and in support of Tearfund Australia, we plan and deliver acts of service which will promote justice in our community and overseas. We are also interested in promoting sustainability.

We usually meet monthly on the first Wednesday of the month from 7.30-9.30pm but will start the year on Wednesday 11th February, with some online training from Tearfund Australia.

You are welcome to join us! Please speak to Heather Loomes. 


Nat corrected me following my previous newsletter - the Hutchings are no longer waiting, but are back in their home. Praise the Lord ! See Sue or I for their latest news.

Women's Ministry Events

Women's Ministry Events

Here are three ways you can step into the fun, belonging, and connection of community with other women at CV Church:

1   February Women’s Event

We’re excited to invite you to our February Women’s Event as we launch a new year of connecting God and people across the generations. This is a night to cross the aisle—intentionally connecting with and building relationships with women in every season of life. 

Hear from some of our women share their Pod experiences.

Erin will guide us through a practical, self-reflection activity and offering simple, tangible ways to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus.  

Register for Tickets below.

2   Silence and Solitude Retreat – March

Looking ahead to March, we’re hosting a Silence and Solitude Retreat—creating space to slow down, listen, and rest in God’s presence. A beautiful opportunity to step away from the noise and reconnect with God in a deeper way.  Erin will be hosting.

More details here.

3   Celebrate Together

Join us as we sprinkle Christy’s new baby on February 8 at 2pm at Faith’s—a relaxed, joyful afternoon to celebrate, connect, and share life together.  See Faith for details - RSVP here.

8am Teaching Service

8am Teaching Service

Characters of The Old Testament

Last year we trialled an 8am service, looking at all things end times. This year we are going to continue to offer an interactive teaching service, and we will be looking at some of the significant Old Testament characters.

Beginning with Adam and Eve, and including Noah, Moses, David……11 characters in total.

We will be looking at the call of God, their strengths and weaknesses and their role in Gods story.

You are warmly invited to join us.

We started on February 1st, looking at Adam and Eve and this Sunday (Feb 8th) we are looking at Noah. Hardcopy notes will be provided each week and the sessions will be recorded and posted on our website.

Jeremiah 33:3

Jeremiah 33:3

Have you ever wondered why, just when you need Him most, God seems hard to find? Maybe you’ve prayed earnestly for direction, provision, or peace, only to feel like your prayers are hitting a ceiling. At these times, it’s easy to feel confused, hurt, or even angry!

If God loves us, why would he hide from us?

The Bible tells us that we certainly are not the first to feel this way! The prophet Isaiah also felt that God was silent and hidden centuries before Jesus was born.
At that time, Israel was experiencing both hope and confusion. God had promised to rescue them, but He was doing it in an incredibly surprising way – by using a Persian king named Cyrus, who was not even one of God’s people! For many Israelites, this was incredibly hard to understand. God was working through someone they considered an outsider, even an enemy! They couldn’t see clearly what God was doing, and it felt like He had forgotten them.

But what if what they interpreted as God’s silence wasn’t silence at all?
What if it’s like waiting for a text message while God is trying to reach us through email?

Perhaps God isn’t hiding Himself from us, but rather working in ways so unexpected that we don’t actually believe or see His hand at work.
