We have something a little different for CONNECT MEN in August.

Museum visit 

10am Saturday 30th of August.

We will gather at the Parish Centre carpark at 10am. From there we will travel to the Polish Museum in Gipps St Gwynneville arriving at 10:30am.

This museum is only small, but covers a lot of history of Poland in WWII and their post-war immigration to Australia and the Illawarra. The centrepiece of the museum is replica Polish WWII aircraft currently under construction. As we pass through the exhibits our guide will share many personal accounts and stories from these times.

Entry is free, but as a show of our gratitude we would like to be able to make a donation. 

For further info talk to Ted McGuire.

For over 125 years, Mother’s Union has supported and encouraged families across our diocese and beyond, sharing Christ’s love. We meet together on the 4th Tuesday of every month to pray together. We would love for anyone to join us.

It is the final day to place your Pie Drive order to support Scripture in our local high schools. See Ainsley or Amy at one of today’s church services.
