BREAKING NEWS - 27 May 2021 Diamond Valley Baptist Church

From midnight Thursday 27th of May, the State of Victoria will be in COVID Lockdown. That has implications for our activities as a church community.

  1. Our face-to-face programmes will be suspended until further notice. That includes our Sunday gatherings, and all the programmes organised through the week.
  2. Some of these meetings (such as Connect Groups) may choose to organise a Zoom meeting or similar online meeting - check with your leader about that.
  3. The Church office and building will be closed - but you can still contact us or find out what is happening via our church mobile phone, email, website, Diamo-News or Facebook pages. (If the phone line is unanswered or busy, please leave a message or text message) 
  4. You can keep up-to-date on the restrictions what you are permitted to do by checking the Victorian government website: HERE We will post information about when our programmes are back on.
  5. As we did for most of 2020, Diamo Online will be available to participate in 10am Sundays — https://dvbc.online.church
  6. All of our church videos (including many previous services and sermons) can be found on our Youtube page: HERE 
  7. Care for each other! Take the time to think about how you can care for and pray for those in your neighbourhood and in your church circle. Especially those who might be living by themselves. Send them a text message or phone them and ask them how they are doing. 
  8. Keep in Touch! If you are part of a smaller group that or programme that usually meets regularly - why not organize a Zoom meeting or WhatsApp chat to encourage each other.
  9. Pray for one another! We will be starting our series on Prayer Sunday week (either online e or face-to-face) So keep praying and praising in  the midst of everything! “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thess 5:16-18)
