February Friends: Conversations Over Coffee

If you’re here for the first time because a friend brought you along, or you want to know more about Christianity, or you’re just curious to know what all the buzz is about well we’re glad you’re here and I’m sure you’ll enjoy our February Friends services. Being in church for the first time can feel exciting but daunting, energising yet strange; all of that is quite normal I assure you. Church you see is where God’s people get together to hear God speak. Also, to praise, thank, and confess to him so exciting things are bound to happen. During our February Friends services especially we want to explain to everyone why Jesus is the answer to our deepest needs and why following him really works. After the service today you might still have some questions about Christianity. If you do we invite you to come to “The Coffee Box” in Strathfield Plaza straight after our service at 10.40am where you can continue asking these questions in a relaxed atmosphere and by the way, the coffee is on us!
