Festivals and Fairs

Jubilee Christian Fellowship enjoys being part of a wonderful community.
We feel blessed to be serving in Ku-ring-gai and especially to be planted in St Ives. The Village Green is very significant to us. Many years ago, in a packing shed which stood near the site of the Bowling Club, a Wesleyan preacher conducted the first church services held in St Ives. The Village Green is physically central to the community, so we are pleased to be called “The Church on the Village Green.”

FESTIVALS Each year, since the opening of the Sydney Olympic Games, the churches of Ku-ring-gai have combined to present to the community the Ignite the Flame Festival which is a gift of the churches to the families of the community, and comprises games, rides crafts and children’s activities, and includes a presentation of the gospel through music, dance, puppets and other stage presentations. Since 2001 this event has been held on Anzac Day, and includes an Anzac Day service.

Jubilee Christian Fellowship has been actively involved in the Festivals each year. Our church’s special responsibility is the prayer tent, where much ministry takes place.

VILLAGE FAIRS Since our church's formation in 1998, Jubilee has been pleased to be participants in the annual St Ives Shopping Village Christmas Fair. This is always a special occasion when we provide give-aways or provide craft work for the children, and chat with parents or pray with them. In recent times we have used "The Father's Love Letter' to share about the Father-heart of God.
The management of the Shopping Village continually expresses their appreciation of our contribution.

These events provide us with an excellent opportunity to be the ‘church in the market place’.
