In response to feedback about our Sipwell sessions and our community needs, we have made a few changes.
Firstly, we have decided to have the meal first and begin with a blessing at 5.30pm. If people need to heat up food, the idea is to come earlier to cook or heat up food so we can start at 5.30. We will share in our community meal and then start our session around 6.15.
Our session will contain our community prayer time and a song or two around the theme, and will be followed by the session in which we will either have an intentional seperate children's activity, with at least two adult leaders, and a seperate conversation time, ... or we will have a joint all-age session around the theme. Several people have volunteered to assist with the children's focus, but please let me know if you can also assist. The evening will be timed to finish at 7.30pm.
The programm for the next few months is: Sat June 11th - the first Sipwell Christening. This will be a community time with Chloe and the children at the heart.
Saturday July 16th: Bonfire celebration of Winter Solstice (or as close as our program will permit) at Murray and Melinda's house, with a house-blessing thrown in for good measure.
Saturday August 13th: A sipwell on the theme of Miracles.
Please help us out with comments and suggestions.
