About Our Weekend AWAY
Our weekend away is designed to provide a refreshing escape from the everyday hustle, offering a chance to recharge and reconnect with God and the wider Church family
Our heart is create connection points and the program is designed around the inclusitivty of family. Most of the schedule is designed so parents can bring their children along to take part as we aren’t providing ‘kids and youth work’ to help all our volunteers be involved.
Workshops are optional and we encouarge you to engage with as much or as little as possible.
Despite having a catered program for food, we do encouarge you (especially families) to bring an extra selection of snacks to keep you going.
Finally please sign up to help prep food, setup and set down. Many hands will make light work.
