Ever wondered if your work mattered to God?
Are jobs outside the church ‘less spiritual’, or a lesser calling?
Did God make the other parts of life? If so, what are His purposes there? How do we serve God at work?
Ever grappled with these questions? Wanted more substantial answers?
On Sunday March 11, at Holy Trinity Bendigo, Will Messenger and Gordon Preece will be running a seminar that will address some of these questions.
Marcus Curnow will be leading us through the Christmas story this Friday night, 23rd December
Time: 8 – 9.30PM
Place: St Matthew’s Church, 153 Eaglehawk Rd, Long Gully (click here for map)
The service will be a simple one, but a special one, involving readings, video and story.
Kids are welcome too – there are kid’s exercises that relate to the service.
Join us for supper afterwards.
St Matthew’s is having a festival to celebrate the end of the year – hope you can all be there!
Features:
The site of future music events, orations and drama, meet the amphitheatre at St Matthew’s!
Last weekend we dug the last hole in preparation for the rusted steel fencing panels – which will look amazing.
A committed, nameless, volunteer got down and dirty in the clay.
What does it look like and feel like to follow Christ in our neighbourhoods, with peace, justice, love and hope?
Seeds Bendigo and Cornerstone Community are hosting a mini-festival over Friday night and Saturday morning.

This discussion event is inspired in part by the "Hope...It Grows!" Community Garden at St Matthew’s.
Marcus will explore how some of the basic insights of Permanent Agriculture have influenced gardening and will consider how such principles might bear fruit in our own spiritual lives and those of disadvantaged communities.
Our community garden has needed a shed to store tools and other stuff.
This shed has been dismantled, caused an insurance claim and re-assembled by Susie and her team.
Looks great eh!
