Caring for our church family
The Maggie O'Neill Centre began as a church, and the new church is still on the property. When someone in our church family is unwell, going through a hard time or has a new baby, we're there for them. We extend meals, hospital visits and moral support to others in the community when our volunteers have the capacity. Everyone who helps is a volunteer, so we look after their time carefully.
Meals when life is hard
Home-cooked meals for people who are unwell, going through a hard time mentally, emotionally or financially, or who have just had a baby.
Hospital visits
We visit people in hospital, so nobody goes through it alone.
Moral support
A listening ear and someone alongside you when life gets difficult.
What is All Nations?
All Nations is an event held once a year, in the summer. People from 20 to 30 different nationalities take over the whole building, cooking food from their country and wearing traditional dress.
It's a wonderful time celebrating every culture and nation on earth, and discovering just how much unites us as people around the globe.
