Frequency: Twice a month — the first and third Saturday of each month
Time: 2:30–5:00 p.m.
Location: CCCV
About: Our group is made up of 9 families with 12 members in total — a wonderfully diverse mix. Some have been part of the church for many years, while others were baptised only recently, and the children in each family range widely in age, from year 6 through university and those already out working. Over the past few years our members have come to feel deeply how important it is to support and care for one another. Moved by the love God has shown us, we long to share that love with more people — and we hope we can be a support to you, too!
Activities: Song worship, Bible study, sharing, prayer, group games, outdoor activities, shared meals and more.

About: This fellowship was established many years ago. Those who first joined were all working brothers and sisters, though some have since retired. Alongside sisters from our own church, sisters from other churches take part too. Together we pray for one another, study the Bible and share. In time we hope to arrange in-person gatherings, so we can get to know and care for one another more. Working or retired brothers and sisters are all warmly welcome to join.
