Like many other congregations there is so much more than worship services happening at Bendigo.

Inside school terms the Tunes for Tots program runs weekly, on a Tuesday morning, there is the regular youth group and kids club activities as well as dinners and trivia nights throughout the year. So much to get involved with!

The Community Garden is a particular success, lovingly tended by its caretaker-volunteers. Originally financed by our the city council, the garden has been acknowledged by Bendigo Sustainability and is now a partner in the GROW COOK SHARE Project organized by Foodshare Bendigo.

The vision for the garden is as an opportunity for sharing with the community. Community Gardens are being promoted widely because their proven benefits in many areas including poverty, loneliness, our fragile global environment etc. All are welcome.

And, like the garden, the list of activities keeps growing: this year Bendigo have started a Pop Up Op Shop, with a wide range of items for sale including plants, books, DVDs as well as women’s, men’s and children's clothing! For a schedule of dates, follow the Community of Christ Bendigo page on Facebook, join the Bendigo Pop Up Op Shop group or contact the congregation directly for more information.

As with all our congregations across Australia precautions are in place (including some suspension of worships and activities) in response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus situation, to allow for appropriate social distancing guidelines to be followed. This situation is being monitored and our response adjusted accordingly as things unfold.
