Neighbourhood Engagement Weekend

Have you been hanging out in your neighbourhood, wondering what God is doing right where you live; asking what is my role?

Then, this weekend is for and all about you!

Together with others on this journey consider the implications of being present in your neighbourhood, what it might mean to love your neighbour, and what practices we might engage in as neighbours. Through the discussion of Scripture and other texts, story, prayer and encouragement, we’ll be better equipped and empowered to be all we’re called and made to be where God has placed us!
