All Church Retreat – “Generosity in a field of lavender”
Through worship, guided reflection, small group conversation and creative exercises, we will explore how faith and community can speak to the hopes and needs of LGBTIQA+ people.
This retreat invites us to deepen our spiritual reflection, strengthen our connections across diverse experiences and listen closely to what our wider LGBTIQA+ communities seek in faith and belonging. Together we will name the qualities that make an inclusive and life giving spiritual home and express the kinds of messages and invitations that help people feel seen, welcomed and encouraged to explore faith.
Join us as we gather in a calm and creative space and imagine how MCC Sydney can continue to offer a community where every person is recognised and valued.
Venue: United Theological College,
16 Masons Drive, North Parramatta NSW 2151
Registration $10 per person or pay what you can.

Others
Prayer is a foundation of a faith community. If you would like prayer shared for yourself or someone you know, please make a note in the prayer request book in the foyer.
This is an open book so that during the Prayers of the People in Sunday Services the requests made will be included and prayed for.
Our Facebook Page - Members and Friends of MCC Sydney is a private group where you can participate in our community online. If you can’t make it to Sunday Services in person please join the live stream each Sunday through the Facebook page.
Being a private group you will be asked to apply and answer a few easy questions.
