And what a busy weekend it’s been for Citipointe Church (Wecker Rd, Carindale). They have been doing a brilliant job getting volunteers and resources together, setting up hubs and getting their hands dirty. To highlight some of their great leadership, here are some of their tweets from the last 48 hours:
