Join the SPACE Contemplative Community for their monthly Taizé service.
The Messy Church Community had a great time catching up at Possum Hollow Park on 19 October,and enjoying God’s creation at Warringal Parklands, the nearby bushland reserve.
Along the way we left our worries on paperbark, our thanks on gum leaves and our ‘sorries’ in the Yarra River, knowing that no matter our worries, thanks or sorries, nothing in the whole world can change God’s love for us.
If you missed out on Messy Church and would like to head down and do the walk yourself or with your family, we’ve created an easy guide so you can follow the path we took. Or, head down to the park and make your own path! You can download the guide here.
Big thanks to Cathie for her beautiful ideas for our prayer walk and to everyone for coming.
