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?

Mission Conference 2021 - it was so great you were there!

We have learnt how to Zoom, to cook, to write a sermon, to pray; and had discussions and teaching on nonviolence and scripture. We have spent time deciding on the important business of the church and we give thanks to the Mission Centre Financial Officer, Julie Crittenden, for her assiduousness and guidance in this task.

We have been challenged and uplifted by our Mission President, Ben Smith, and encouraged by the words of Mareva Arnaud our Apostle. Even COVID hasn’t been able to dampen our enthusiasm for music with soul, (virtual) morning teas, sharing in campfire songs and getting together as youth and children!

We have been blessed by your presence as we have gathered as a Community of Christ. It is your participation and support that truly made conference the joyful & enriching experience it has been and we thank you for taking part!

More efficient and convenient giving is possible now!

You may have heard that we are rolling out a new giving platform: Tithe.ly!
If you have given online to the church, Tiona Chapel or Saints Care recently you will have used Tithe.ly already. This new platform offers a more efficient and convenient way of giving meaning your gifts go further. Watch the video to find out more or click here to GIVE and experience Tithe.ly giving for yourself! We look forward to sharing more training and information with you over the coming weeks.

You Belong

Pride Month Meme 7.png

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
