Sunday 21st August - BBQ (12:15pm) and Disability and missions (2:45pm)

Community BBQ

12:15pm onwards

Our monthly community BBQ is open to all and we love to have new people along! Think sausages, salads, great space - with indoor areas for cold days, welcoming community.



We have lots of outside toys and equipment for kids, and it's been great to see them enjoying the large but enclosed space.

Please join us to eat, hang out, make new friends and as we continue to deepen our friendships and community!

Disability and missions

Mission to the disabled, and the disabled to the mission

2:45-4:00pm

God calls us to respond lovingly to the needs of those with disability so that they (and we) may experience life in all its fullness. Not only should we respond lovingly, but we need to appreciate that God works through us all whatever our disability or differing ability. Each of us is disabled in some area but that doesn’t prevent us working in mission ... and indeed it is often in and through that weakness that God uses us!  After all His power is made perfect in weakness!  

Recently the Grills’ have been working in disability in India and they are currently hosting three Indian disability co-workers (Robert, Jubin and Pratima) in Melbourne. This group has thought a lot about theology and disability and they will share their insights and personal experiences with us. Robert and Pratima both have powerful stories of how their own experience of severe disability has been used for the glory of God. Sadly, Nathan and Claire are also working through what it means to have a disabled child and be in overseas ministry. 

During this time exploring the theology of disability, Nathan and Claire will give an update on Abby, Robert will talk about his personal experience and how God has used disability for His work and glory, Jubin will lead us in thinking about what is a Christian response to disability.  The Hope in the Himalayas team will also give a brief update... and we will end in prayer that despite our disabilities God in His sovereignty will use us in India and missions for His glory.
