Karla Bidjar Has a New Building
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ministries (ATSIM) ministries in Western Australia and Karla Bidjar Seventh-day Adventist Church has received a boost, with the purchase of a new building in Midland. The WA Conference executive committee approved the purchase of the old licensing centre when a proposal was presented to the committee. It outlined the building’s potential as an Aboriginal ‘Centre of Influence’ in Midland and the surrounding areas. It is planned that the ‘Centre’ will provide much needed services to the local community.
The first service in planning is an ADRA Op Shop. The shop will provide volunteer work, cost effective clothing and other household items. It will also provide income for the ‘Centre’ so that other services can be offered and further building can be accomplished.
Funding for the building included significant funds donated for Aboriginal work some years ago. The Centre will be operated by a team representing Karla Bidjar Seventh-day Adventist Church, which will begin to worship at the new location sometime in the new year. The plan is to be open and available almost every day of the week.
On Sabbath, 10 December 2022, 9:30 am there is a free breakfast followed by a Dedication Ceremony. If you would like to attend this special occasion we would love to see you there.
