Mackay Street Chaplains have continued to serve our community.  We consider this an incredible privilege.  It is the safest way to gain confidence in relating to people, caring for those who are in need of an ambulance, and generally understanding about drugs, alcohol and safety.  There are so many good people in our community and we feel incredibly blessed to be able to help when these great people suddenly find themselves in trouble. 
If you'd like to join this organization, please understand that we ARE a Christian organisation, but not all our members are associated with a church.  If you have a heart for people and you are willing to work within our Christian ethos, we'd love to chat and have you do an observation shift with us.
Contact us via the form on the contact page of this site or call our number.

CHAPLAINCY PHONE SERVICE

5/24/2020

Has it been a time like no other!  Well, certainly not in my life time.  Mackay Street Chaplains have felt the blow of the lock-down.  However, we seek to maintain our service in a different way.  You can now contact us for a chat and maybe even request a prayer - completely confidentially, of course, by contacting us on 0476 120 400.  It is the number on our wristbands!  Many of you have it already, but now we have Chaplains on stand-by from 8am-10pm ready and willing to be a caring, non-judgmental and listening ear.  We do hope to see you all out having a great time again soon, but in the meantime.... we are still here for you. :-)

We've been BUSY - We've marched in the ANZAC parade, meeting for Prayer at 11:30am each Wednesday and been organizing some exciting activities....


​Lots of exciting things happening this month, beginning with our Training night on the 14th May 2018.  Nigel Dalton teaches us about drugs and alcohol.  We welcome anyone who is interested in joining us to come along.

Also, the end of this month is the National day of thanks.  To that end, Mackay Street Chaplaincy are celebrating a whole month of giving thanks... and a couple of fun activities also.

We invite any and all of our networks to a little thanksgiving cocktail soiree.  For more information go to the news and information page and download your invitation.  Or click on the handy link below

On October 9th, four Chaplains attended the National Chaplaincy Conference.  Lots of great exciting things to report back.  The plan is to pass on some of the great things we learnt at our next Chaplains meeting.
Our Chaplaincy monthly meeting is always open to anyone who'd like to know about Chaplaincy and joining us on the streets.
This thing we do is an amazing adventure - I highly recommend it.

This Sunday Mackay Street Chaplaincy will be giving a presentation about who we are and what we do.  This is happening at the City Impact Church in Wellington Street, Mackay on Sunday morning at 9:30 am.
If anyone would like to be there, I'm sure you are most welcome.... especially our Chaplaincy family.  It is always great to have other members there to give their perspective on how they've found the experience of this amazing adventure.
Please let Niki know if you would like to attend out end of year Christmas dinner on the 15th of December.

Gearing up for the Festive Season

11/3/2016

 Recently we've begun to see a greater incidence of festive costumes on the street.  There were Halloween costumes and Hen's night antics and pretty soon many end of year dinners and parties.
According to the Police reports, the crime in the city heart has had a 25% reduction.... THAT IS HUGE!  We like to think that we are part of that good news story.
The benefit for all, is that you can know that a night out can be safe and can be great.  Friday and Saturday - remember we are on the WesPac corner as well as wondering around.  If you need us, we are always happy to help.... it's what we do.

Pretty soon we will have our own end of year dinner.  The celebration is not just end of year, but also Christmas and also our birthday.  December is our 4th Birthday...!  Four years of being on the streets.

Please remember that you can contact us any time to find out how you can be involved.... or even just tag on to a shift and we'll show you what we do.  We love to talk about what we do and we love being with people.

We are entering a very busy season with business and organizations having end of year celebrations.  Remember where to find us - WestPac Corner!  We are there to help you have a wonderful and safe night out.  Take care and stay safe :-)
