Church’s ‘taste and see’

THE Coalfields Baptist Church hosted its first ‘Taste and See’ ministry last Sunday.

Members of the community were invited to attend a free lunch after Sunday service at the church’s new premises in Venn Street.

Pastor Josh Denford said the idea for the ministry came from the church’s desire to show its care for the community.

“Our mission at Coalfields Baptist Church is to share the good news of Jesus with the town of Collie, but we also want to be able to show the community that we appre- ciate and care for them,” he said.

“We want to invite people to join us to hear a short Bible message, essentially ‘taste and see’ how good God is and join us for a delicious lunch.”

Slow-cooked beef was served, and a vegetarian option was provided by regular attendees, Greg and Heather Salter.

The church welcomed members, as well as regular and first time visitors.

Mr Denford said he is looking forward to the lunches becoming a monthly occurrence.

The next one will be on Sunday, February 26.
