Croydon North Community Meals

Despite upgrades to the kitchen being undertaken currently, with no oven, no cook top, no hot water (and for a short while, no water), the Gifford Community Meals volunteers were still able to provide a hearty meal for last weeks diners. Sausages, rissoles, mashed potatoes and veggies, followed by swiss roll, custard and mixed berries. We are looking forward to cooking next week’s meal on our new, bigger oven and cook top. Yeah!!!!

Suffering, death and life

Lent Studies 2019 – Commencing week of 4 March

Four studies based on reflections by well known preacher Barbara Brown Taylor on aspects of finding God in the midst of pain and suffering.

These studies invite new ways to think about the Easter story.

Currently, one group will meet on Thursday mornings at CRoydon UC and one group will meet on Friday mornings at Croydon North UC. Other groups may gather at other times, if these times do not suit you.

Slovenia has two million inhabitants and the official language is Slovene, with Hungarian and Italian being co-official languages.

Rekindling hope

As the world, the church and even our personal lives appear in a bit of a mess, where is hope to be found?

4 sessions over 4 weeks starting Monday 12 November 2018 exploring the theme of Rekindling Hope by Rev Dr Peter Mallen.

3 Groups are planned – Tuesday 10am at Croydon Church (led by Peter Mallen), Wednesday 7.30pm (led by Paul Chandler) and 10am at Croydon North (led by Liz Mallen). People can go to whichever session is more convenient and some overlap between congregations is encouraged! Depending on demand there may be other groups.

Titles of each session are as follows:

  • The need for hope
  • Hope in the midst of darkness
  • Hope was heard singing
  • Hope for today and tomorrow

Each study will include time for personal reflection, opening the Scriptures together, a response activity, praying with and for one another and a song. It’s estimated each session will last around 1.5 hours.
