Maranatha would like to congratulate two of our wonderful volunteers Ruth Hayes and Father Carl Mackander, both recipients of Community Service Awards — your dedication, compassion and service do not go unnoticed and mean so much to us all.

We also extend our congratulations to one of our residents’ daughters on receiving an award for her contributions to the community — a proud moment for her and her family.

And another congratulations to Mark Griggs, on being named Citizen of the Year. Mark’s ongoing support of Maranatha House and his commitment to sharing the many fabulous things happening here with the wider community is truly appreciated.

We are so grateful to be surrounded by people who give so generously of their time, care and support 🤍

Wellington's Australia Day award recipients. Thank you all for the wonderful work you have contributed to our Wellington District community.

☀️ Fete Fundraiser & Open Day Success ☀️

What an incredible day! Over 1,000 people came through our gates on Saturday, 25th October for our Maranatha House Fete Fundraiser and Open Day - and what a turnout it was!

The day was packed with fun and community spirit, featuring the Rotary Markets, Wellington Vintage Car Club, raffles, P.C.Y.C Gymnastics, Tug of War, a Lego Stand, the Wellington Town Band, and so much more. Visitors also enjoyed guided tours, free food, and a range of activities and treats at Maranatha Gunyah - including a jumping castle, snow cones, soft serve, slushies, and fairy floss (all for free!).

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along, supported, volunteered, and helped raise funds for the Wellington High School students heading to Nepal with RAWC’s “Teens on a Mission”. 💛

Bus Trip to Dubbo Western Plains Cultural Centre 🚌

Today our residents enjoyed a wonderful outing to the Dubbo Western Plains Cultural Centre to explore the Waste 2 Art exhibition. This annual community event celebrates creativity and sustainability, showcasing imaginative artworks made from reused and recyclable materials. This year’s theme, “The Year of Toys,” inspired incredible pieces crafted from items that might have otherwise been thrown away, such as puzzle pieces and match box cars - a perfect reminder to reduce, reuse, and recycle! ♻️

Thank you Western Plains Cultural Centre for having us! 🤍

Royal Flying Doctor Service ✈️

On Monday, 13th of October, our residents enjoyed a wonderful bus trip to the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Experience in Dubbo. We were fortunate to have a knowledgeable guide lead us through the centre, explaining each interactive display and offering assistance along the way. One of the highlights was watching the live flight tracker, which showed where the Royal Flying Doctor Service planes were flying across Australia in real time - a truly fascinating experience that our residents thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia for having us! 🩵
