It’s our birthday, but you get the presents!
On Tuesday October 21 we’re throwing open the doors of the Rhema Central Coast studios to celebrate our 10th birthday!
Come on in and meet the team, check out the equipment, eat the yummy food, and grab some free goodies. CDs, books, and a bunch of other stuff!
If you want to, we’ll even put you on air and you can tell everyone what Rhema Central Coast means to you. Give a shout out to your friends, intro a song, or just generally have fun.
Why not call in with the kids after school?!
That’s the Rhema Central Coast 10th Birthday Open Day! Tuesday October 21, from 9am to 5pm.
We’re at Suite 4, 162 The Entrance Rd Erina, just near the Karalta Rd roundabout, upstairs from the Total Party Shop.
So come on! Pop in and party with us!
It’s a cold winter! Imagine if you were living on the streets? And what if you had no food? Not nice to think about, is it?
A lot of people are doing it tough on the Coast. Struggling with bills, rising debts, even sleeping rough.
It’s a big problem, but together, we can make a difference!
We’re partnering with Coast Shelter to do something easy, practical, and effective.
When you’re shopping buy some extra food, drop it into our office, and we’ll get it to Coast Shelter for them to distribute where it is most needed.
We especially need canned fruit and vegetables, canned fish and meats, canned soups and meals, and baby formula and food. Make sure they’re non-perishable, and no glass please!
Can’s with ring pulls are preferred. On the street you don’t always have a can opener!
Drop the food into our office at 162 The Entrance Rd Erina, just above the Total Party Shop near the Karalta Rd roundabout, and we’ll get it to Coast Shelter to distribute.
Alternatively you can drop off at St Phillips Christian College Narara, Green Point Christian College, Wyong Christian School, or Coast Community School Bensville.
Come on! Partner with Rhema Central Coast and Coast Shelter! Together, we can make a difference!
