Morning Church Weekend Away 2025
Engadine Anglican Morning Church Weekend Away 19-21 September 2025
In 2025, we will be moving our Weekend Away to Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort. This site offers similar facilities and setting to what we're used to at Gerroa (caravan/camping/cabin options; swimming pool; beach access), but with enough cabins and sites to accommodate our growing congregation.
Sign up to indicate your accommodation preferences, and pay your $100 deposit to church to reserve a spot in the group booking.
We've also opted to have WSLR cater for us, and in return, they've offered some discounted prices for accommodation. However, that means we need to make a group booking, rather than individual bookings. And that's where this form comes in.
There are several accommodation options, at various prices. Please use the form to indicate your preferences and to be included in our group booking, keeping in mind that catering will be a further $90/adult and $45/child, additional to the accommodation selected. For most people, this should still work out cheaper than our current arrangements at Gerroa (perhaps even significantly so!).
Accommodation will be allocated when and as deposits of $100 are received by Engadine Anglican Church.
Craft and Chat
Come and join our group of ladies for craft. We usually meet on the 3rd Saturday of the Month for craft and chat.

Evergreen Ministry - Colin Buchanan: The Cavalry Road Show.
10 times Golden Guitar-winning singer/songwriter Colin Buchanan shares his vivid musical stories about the life and times of ordinary people. Armed with his acoustic guitar, his swag of award-winning songs and a keen sense of humour, Colin masterfully weaves his music and his faith in Jesus into a memorable experience that is uniquely engaging, moving - and entertaining.
This concert for adults will be enjoyed by believers and unbelievers alike, making it a perfect opportunity to invite friends and family who don’t know Jesus.
Tickets are available through Trybooking.com

We kindly ask that you focus on inviting those in your personal circles who don’t already belong to another church community.)

Note on desserts :)
If you are able to bring a dessert - it would greatly help the kitchen team, if you could bring it cut up into small pieces, by 7:15pm, in a named or disposable container. That way the kitchen team can easily put all the desserts into the mixed dessert boxes for the tables.

Compassion Sunday
Right now, up to 783 million people in the world are facing hunger Children are suffering. In the face of such injustice, I know you want to do something.
But maybe you’re wondering how you can make a difference. Maybe you’re asking … what’s the best way to tackle something as vast as hunger and global poverty? And what can I really do about it?
Aug 3 at Engadine and Heathcote Anglican is Compassion Sunday — a day set apart to respond to the needs of children living in poverty around the world. At the sponsorship table, you’ll find photos of boys and girls who would love to have someone like you to serve, honor and protect them.
When you sponsor a child, you’ll help them see themselves as precious and valuable in the eyes of God — which is one of the most potent weapons against poverty. And when it’s paired with nutritious food to combat hunger, tutoring, regular medical checkups and vocational training ... the result is a tangible and sustainable impact.
That’s why children in Compassion’s program are more likely to stay in school, break the cycle of poverty in their families, become leaders in their communities and build tomorrow’s Church.
You can fight injustice by releasing a child from poverty in Jesus’ name through sponsorship. Will you?

Coordinator: Ian Campbell.
Evergreen Build Up
Our guest speaker Jack Normand is speaking on making the most of our lives in this season, to build up and reach out.
Join us for encouraging Bible teaching, and fellowship over morning tea.
What is Evergreen?
John 15:5 – “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.”
Evergreen
Jesus calls us to be fruitful and to continuously grow, to be evergreen. We can only do this by remaining in Him and He in us.
Our Vision & Mission
For the glory of Jesus, we build up each other and we reach out to the world, through God’s word and prayer.
In every season of life, we are given unique opportunities to build up one another and reach out to those we love who desperately need Jesus.
Evergreen is designed specifically for those who are nearing retirement or are already in that season of life. Even now, Jesus continues to call us to bear much fruit. Friends, many of you are already living this out. My hope is to bring a bit more structure, coordination, and support, so that we can continue to serve and grow together.
Yours faithfully,
John Lee
