What's On?
House Church on the Third Sunday 4pm at the church
For those who aren't keen on Wild Church and would appreciate a different point of connection on the third Sunday of the month, Oran will be leading a House Church at the church at 4pm.
This house church will run like our house churches last year with time for connection and sharing, wrestling with ideas/questions and time for prayer.
If you are keen to be a part of this, let Oran know: [email protected] or 0403082146
Easter Sunday Details - Dawn Walk up Mt Keira
Meet at 5:50am at the bottom gates to Mt. Keira summit (dirt carpark at the intersection of Mount Keira Rd, and Queen Elizabeth Dr.) From there we will walk in silence to the summit and see the sun rise (6:22 am). The walk is about 1km but is uphill the whole way. At the top we will have a time of reflection.
**Wet weather plan: if it's overcast or drizzling we'll meet and walk anyway. If it's really raining, we'll cancel. If you're unsure on the morning about what's happening, feel free to message Luke on 0402741401
Breakfast at church: Following the dawn walk, everyone is welcome back to the church for coffee and pancakes. I imagine we'll be back at the church at about 7:30am (If you're planning to come to breakfast let Caro know so we have a rough idea of numbers)
9:30am Classic Church: stay on for a celebration of resurrection with a classic church service: worship, bubbles, and stories of life, newness, resurrection.
Palm Sunday Refugee Rally
For many decades now Palm Sunday has been a Sunday of ecumenical peace marches and services, focusing on issues that exemplify the clash between 'empires' and the Kingdom of God. Most major cities in Australia host peace marches, in the 1980's people walked for nuclear disarmament, in the 1990's the plight in East Timor took centre stage, in the early 2000's it was about the controversial war in Iraq, and from the 2010's until now the peace marches have focused on Australia's treatment of asylum seekers.
This Palm Sunday, April 13th at 2pm, the Refugee Action Collective Illawarra is hosting the rally at Wollongong Town Hall. People from all faiths and none will join together to protest for justice for refugees, and call for permanent protection now for all refugees and asylum seekers.
If you're interested in joining those of us from Central who will attend, let Jessamy know or come find us on the day.
Central Bushwalk Saturday April 26th 2pm
For something fun and social, we've organised a bushwalk on Saturday arvo on the 26th.
We're going to walk the Mt Kembla ring track, which is 5.3km
Where to meet: park on Cordeaux Rd, Mt Kembla at the Windy Gully carpark, where all the big electrical wires are.
We'll walk the loop track in a clockwise direction which means walking back down Cordeaux rd for a bit before heading onto the trail, we'll finish by climbing up the steep section at the end and finding ourselves back at the carpark.
If it's raining or really wet, we'll cancel.
Afterwards we can head to Mt Kembla pub for a drink.
