FORSTER-TUNCURRY  CONGREGATION

Forster and Tuncurry are two adjacent towns in the Great Lakes area, united by a bridge. The Forster-Tuncurry Congregation has two centres of worship, one in each of these towns, but is a single Congregation.

With rapid growth in the local population, the local Congregation finds itself serving a wide cross-section of people but with a high number of retired people.

The Congregation worships at Forster at 9:00am each Sunday (corner of MacIntosh and Lake Streets). As well as this, there is “Sundays@5”, a café church, at Tuncurry on the first and third Sunday of each month at 5:00pm and a mid-week communion at Forster at 2:00pm on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Other worship includes monthly service in the Beaumont Nursing Home, a regular service in the GLAICA House retirement facility and a weekly Monday morning prayer group at Tuncurry.

Fellowship activities include an adult fellowship group (every second Wednesday of the month at 1:30pm in the Tuncurry Church) and Singles group meetings, Care and Share group meetings and an under-60s Friendship group. There is a Spring Fair in September each year. Contact the Church Office for more details of any of these; or, indeed, about any of the Congregation’s activities.

The Revd Veneeta Singh-Lucas took up her placement as the minister of the Forster-Tuncurry Congregation with her induction on 25th March, 2011. Her contact details are given below.
