What's On?
Wild Church Details
We meet at the north end of MM beach, on the grass where Darcy Rd meets Gloucester Blvd.
There's always plenty of street parking nearby.
Bring something to sit on and a cup for communion.
Prayer Meeting
On the third Tuesday of every month, a prayer meeting is held in the church.
Feel free to join us in prayer, or send on your prayer requests to Cheryl Meers.
Afterwards, grab a coffee at Cake by Rach Cafe in Port Kembla.
This month's meeting is Tuesday the 14th of April.
Sunday Arvo Bible Study
On the third Sunday of each month, following Wild Church, Oran will be leading a Bible
Study at the church from 4:00pm. Throughout the year, we’ll journey together through
the Gospel of Mark—listening closely, asking questions, and discovering afresh the
good news it holds for us today.
If you’d like to dive deeper into Scripture, bring your Bible and join us. Please let Oran
know if you’re planning to come, or if you have any questions.
Listening Night: Trans and Non-Binary Experiences
On Tuesday April 28th at 7pm, we will gather for a very special 'Listening Night'.
People will be sharing their experiences of being trans and non-binary, in the church and the world.
We will have three panelists connected to Central share their journeys. We want to practice a posture of deep listening, being willing to learn and unlearn together.
As Central continues our journey to be a theologically affirming and practically inclusive church, we need to regularly examine our beliefs and practices together, and explore how our theology and actions create blessing or harm.
It would be lovely if you could bring a plate of food to share.
Edgewalkers Book
I (Caro) had the privilege of contributing a chapter that highlights people who are seeking to cultivate life around the edges of faith, church and theology.
Each chapter is written by a different person from around Australia who has been wrestling with what faithfully following God looks like in their lives and ministry.
We were asked to write in the style of 'memoir theology,' so I wrote about some of the challenges of my own faith journey and the creation of our contemplative service. I haven't quite read all of the chapters yet, but those I have read have been both encouraging and challenging. It gives me so much hope to see people exploring the expansiveness of our faith and putting that into practice in all kinds of creative ways.
You can buy a copy of the book on Amazon if you'd like to read it. It's been published by a new, independent publisher, so you'd be supporting some local grassroots goodness if you are able to buy it.
