Food 4 Thought
Food 4 Thought creates opportunities for people to explore life, purpose and faith through dinner, business networking and guest speakers. At our October gathering, we were encouraged to welcome six guests who were not Christians or were not currently connected with a church. Our next event is on Thursday, 12 November, featuring Charles Zerafa, a former corporate banker, investor and business adviser, sharing “The $1 Billion Lesson: Getting Better With Every Role”. Join us for dinner and an opportunity to build genuine connections. Think and pray about one non-Christian friend, colleague, neighbour or family member you could invite. You don’t need to have all the answers. Simply come along together and enjoy the evening. Places are limited, so please register early. Please also pray for those attending and the conversations that take place. If you’d like to help organise, volunteer or financially support future dinners, we’d love to hear from you.

Healing Through Creativity Life Group
Healing Through Creativity is a new Life Group that invites you into a gentle and hope-filled space where God meets us through creative expression. Creativity does not mean being artistic; it is part of how we are made in the image of our Creator and is present in everyday areas of life, such as problem-solving, gardening, cooking, and more. This group is especially for anyone carrying unexpressed emotions, feeling stuck in decision-making, or longing for a deeper Spirit-to-Spirit connection with God. In a safe and encouraging environment, come experience God’s healing heart, renewed joy, and greater freedom through creativity, while enjoying meaningful fellowship as the family of God.
Date: Thursday 19 November 2026
Time: 7.00 pm – 9.00 pm

Come along on 29 November and experience what it means to grow as a man of prayer.
Date: Sunday 29 November 2026

Prayer & Praise
How can we pray for you today?

ALPHA
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that explore the basics of the Christian faith. It’s a space where people can ask questions, share thoughts, and learn in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. Whether you’re curious about Christianity or simply want to deepen your understanding, Alpha offers a fresh perspective on life’s big questions.
Why join? Alpha is more than just a course—it’s a community. It’s a place to connect with others on a similar journey, explore faith at your own pace, and engage in meaningful discussions. If you’ve ever wondered about the purpose of life, the existence of God, or how faith impacts everyday living, Alpha is for you.
Interested in joining? If we gather enough interest, we’ll kick off an Alpha course where you can explore these topics in a welcoming and open environment. Register your interest today, and we’ll keep you posted on the details!
If you have any questions about Alpha, please reach out to us at alpha@claytonchurch.org.au
Playgroup
A place of belonging, support and encouragement for parents with toddlers
For over 40 years, our Playgroup has been a haven for parents with children aged 0–4. Our dedicated volunteer team provides a warm, safe, and structured environment where children learn through play, enhancing their social, motor, and cognitive skills. Parents, especially first-timers, find support for the challenges of parenthood while building connections with other families and accessing community resources.
Playgroup runs during school term on Thursdays, from 9.30 am to 11.30 am at Clayton Church.
English Learning
Equipping you with the confidence to speak English, build friendships and feel at home
For over a decade, Encounter English Learning has empowered newcomers to Australia by helping them develop essential English skills, build connections, and settle into their new community. Our dedicated volunteer team provides a supportive space to learn the fundamentals of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. Classes also explore Australian culture, customs, practical life skills, and include some Christian teaching.
Join Team Clayton
Serving with Team Clayton is more than filling a role — it’s a way to live out the gifts God has given you. Through a warm welcome, a shared meal, or a simple cup of coffee, we reflect the love of Jesus in practical and meaningful ways.
Volunteering is also one of the best ways to build genuine connections, grow in faith together, and be part of what God is doing in our church community. If you’re ready to serve and belong, we’d love for you to join Team Clayton.
