Diamond Valley Lodge Church Service

Let me share with you one of the ministries of Palmwoods Baptist Church which myself and Jeffrey are very blessed to be involved with. Assistant Pastor John Gadenne runs a church service once a fortnight at the Diamond Valley Lodge which is a home to people with a variety of different disabilities who need some extra care.


Each service involves some Kids Church songs, hymns and a message using the flannel board to make it nice and visual for them. Each of the residence are encouraged to join in with the singing, actions and music. They really enjoy having their own church service and it is also a great blessing to all of us who help out. There are also a few people who come along to listen and support John in his work with these people after their usual Sunday church services and we gratefully thank them.

The services are always followed by a great time of fellowship with those who help run and support the church services at the lodge. It is a great outreach to the residence who cannot attend church independently on a Sunday morning and also to the staff who work very hard at the Diamond Valley Lodge. If you have a spare Sunday afternoon you are warmly welcomed to come along to watch the service or even get involved. It is always a blessing to have visitors for the service and afternoon tea. Contact us at Palmwoods Baptist Church if you would like more details on this ministry.
