‘I myself will search for my sheep and look after them’, says the Lord. Jesus is the shepherd who leads, cares, protects, finds, and feeds his people. He is more than a King, He is The Shepherd.
Find out more about the Shepherd Jesus this December at Figtree and Mt Kembla Anglican Church.

Ignite is the annual Figtree Anglican Church Youth Camp. This will be our 19th Ignite! We’re looking forward to spending a week away together from 15-21 January looking at the book of Colossians and learning how Jesus is “Beyond Compare”. Ignite is a week all about growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ, growing in community together, and having fun! Ignite is open to anyone in high school!
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:15–16)

For many years, God has been answering our prayer to raise up workers for his plentiful harvest. One of the ways he has done this is through the 410 Intern program at Figtree Anglican. The Intern program is suitable for any age and is designed to grow disciple-making disciples who will be equipped to take further steps in ministry and assist in discerning how they are to be sent deeper into the mission of Jesus. Internships run for two years, include the opportunity for theological study, and the chance to explore and equip in a ministry area you are passionate about! If there is a ministry FAC is involved in and you would like to explore it, we would love to hear from you! If you would like to find out more about interning at FAC, click the button below for an information pack. The ministry team would love to join you in exploring God’s calling for your next season.

Dear God,
May each of us find time and space amid Christmas activities and traditions to focus on the simple life-changing message of your love for us. As we engage with friends and family, give us your spirit of compassion and forgiveness; may we seek to love and care for those in need, especially those who are grieving, lonely or disconnected from their own family. May you be glorified and honoured in all we do, and with a bold gentleness, may we be willing to speak openly about you as the Saviour of the world to those who do not know you yet.
Amen
‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ Isaiah 9:6
