Welcome to CV Connect #19

Helping you better connect with Camden Valley Church

This Sunday Sept 29 will be our next Big Day In. Bring some lunch to go with our BBQ'ed sausages and have a great time of fellowship.

You've probably heard that Zac Gorton is in hospital with a broken leg/knee. This of course is making it very difficult for Amy and family to continue functioning.
Some in, our congregation are organising meal and baby sitting support for the family. If this is something you would like to get involved with please check this link for some important details and to let the Gorton's know you intend to make a meal.

This way we can assure the family of what is coming, alleviating stress and allowing them to plan whatever is left to do.

Drop off points:

Faith & Kevin's: 81A Macarthur Rd, Elderslie.
Text Faith when you drop something: 0406 223 330
Rhett & Court's: 695 Montpelier Dr, The Oaks.

Save the date: Sunday night, 13th October will be another time of worship and praise, so add it to your calendar.

Are the women of our fellowship looking for a fresh way of intentionally connecting with other women outside our usual circle?
Are you interested in building relationships outside a Connect or Bible Study group?
Then why not look into PODS.
