New Life at Home is LIVE on YouTube and Facebook from 9am every Sunday morning.
And… let’s try again for Picnic Church this Sunday (28 Nov). The weather forecast is looking better than the last few Sundays.
Even MORE Picnic Church – 28 November, 5 December (NEW!) & 12 December
Three Sundays in a row gathering at 10:30am on grass behind church building (107 Wanganeen Ave, Ngunnawal). BYO morning tea, Bible and picnic rug/chair.
The preschool carpark will be open to us. Please use NewLife carpark and ACT Health Clinic if you have limited mobility or prams. What if it rains? We think we have worked out a back wet weather plan that may allow us to keep meeting… keep eye on website and e-mail for announcements.
