Welcome!
At RPC we are on about following an amazing God who has done wonderful things through His son Jesus, and who continues to transform us by His Spirit and His love. We don't want to keep it all to ourselves either, we want others to know Jesus and the hope and freedom he brings.
Anyone is welcome to come along - you certainly don't need to consider yourself a Christian. I think you'll find we're a friendly group of people of different ages, cultural backgrounds, occupations and stages in life, which I guess reflects the community we're in!
Feel free to have a look around the site or to contact us if you have any questions.

I'm Back!!
Monday, 22 February 2010 — DaveYes, it has been a while. Thanks to Ken for posting so many entries while I was away!!
2010 has been very busy. Our Kid's Club and Teens have started back with a water fight/wate slide night. I now hold the time record for the 10 metre black plastic downhill decent, covering the plastic in 1.40 seconds! I was followed closely by young Stewart who got his time down to 1.44 seconds. I believe that our time keeper, Ken, was extremely accurate and there is NO error in these times!
Our Playgroup has also started again for the year and we have had a great turn up for the first two weeks.
All the programs that we run at RPC are free and designed to build community within our church and also with the surrounding community. Feel free to come along. There will be more news of coming events shortly...promise!
First Church Lunch for 2010!
Friday, 5 February 2010 — KenOur monthly church lunches start up again this Sunday 7th February shortly after the morning service. It should be another great chance to catch up with each other and enjoy some good food!
This time we'll be having some nice summer-suitable fare - Burritos followed by an array of deserts that people are bringing in to share! We'd love for you to join us for lunch - it'll be the usual price of $3 per person or $10 per family to cover costs. Hope to see you there!
Carols Outback
Monday, 14 December 2009 — DaveOur third Carols Outback was last Saturday night. Hairy Harry was in fine form (again) and it was great to have some visitors share the night with us. There was a free bbq, lots of sugar for the kids to consume in a variety of colours and shapes!
Can't wait for next year!
So much happening at RPC!
Tuesday, 1 December 2009 — DaveIt is a busy time of year!
Introducing Jesus continues on Wednesday evenings. This is a great opportunity for people who are looking to learn more about who God is and how he relates to our lives.
The Kid's are taking over the church on Sunday (6th of Dec). The lattest is thatr Hairy Harry might not be there...but he has organised someone else to take his place. This will be followed by lunch!
Carols Outback is on in a week on Saturday - gulp! We cannot wait to have fun singing, eating and laughing together!
Finally, our Blog keeps blogging on! Since the Blog Conference we have continued discussing gender issues, as well as leadership in general, sex, church vision statements and more! If you are after a bit of stimulation for the brain feel free to check it out. Ken said he will do a post soon...but I am not sure if I believe him!
