This is the question I hope you ask yourself as you read through these pages. 'What is it that engages me in Christ’s mission?' What ignites my passion and that of my community? Is it the welfare of others, or healing or hospitality or wholeness or inclusiveness? Is it about bringing God’s Kingdom to earth? Is it about divine grace and seeing God in everything and everyone? Is it about helping humanity move forward?

You Belong

In June we celebrate love and inclusion; upholding the enduring principle of the Worth of all Persons: we seek to uphold and restore the worth of all people individually and in community, challenging unjust systems that diminish human worth. 

All are loved, all are welcome, all belong as we seek to become true and living expressions of Jesus Christ, woven together by the Spirit, with compassion, in community.

If you want to share the love on your personal or congregational social media pages contact Emma at Mission Office for access to the Pride Month memes: eespinosa@cofchrist.com.au 02 9871 7400

Pilgrims descend....

This is your invitation to join us, for the many activities across the week of Mission Conference this year, as we take the opportunity to slow down and open our hearts to new possibilities, engage in fun, in worship, in learning and the essential business of the church.

So plan on it, put it in your calendar and come and be blessed ❤ 30th May - 6th June

“Pilgrims descend,

spiraling inwards, a journey triggering confluence of hopeful hearts both full and empty, awaiting, anticipating.

Disciples return to learn and discern where the Spirit calls.

Slow down they said, slow down.” - from 'Together We Decide' by Ben Smith
