Escape the winter chill and join us for the first of our Women's Gatherings, offering a cozier, more intimate alternative to our usual larger outdoor events.

This mid-winter, we're opening up three lovely warm homes for small groups of 12-15 women.

We're keeping things simple: just BYO a plate to share or contribute a $5 donation.

Come and experience the joy of connection! 

Friday 25th July, 7.30pm

Enquiries – Beth or Faith

A series of interactive sessions that provide an opportunity for everyone to discover life, faith and meaning.

FREEBIES

Camden Council is running a Plastic-free living workshop. This free, 2hr, workshop is designed to be fun and interactive. The workshop will dive into a cleaner, greener lifestyle, identify different types of plastic and their impact on our world and practical ways to swap out unnecessary single use plastics from your home. Let's make a positive change together.

The Registration link is below. Looking for a friend to go with? Heather has registered so you will have a friend!

Also, you may have heard several people refer to 'Lectio' over the past few months.

Lectio 365 is a free app (Apple and Android) that is a daily devotional to help you pause in the presence of God.

It is written (and vocalised) by leaders of the 24-7 Prayer movement. Their website is https://www.24-7prayer.com.

With Lectio 365 you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them.
