All Church Retreat – “Generosity in a field of lavender”

Generosity in a Field of Lavender is a gentle space to rest, reflect and explore what faith and community can offer LGBTIQA+ people.

Through worship, conversation and creative reflection, we will listen to queer stories and name the qualities that make spiritual belonging life giving. Join us as we imagine a community where every person is recognised, valued and encouraged to explore faith.

A retreat shaped by queer stories, hopes and spiritual longing.

29th August 2026 9.30am to 4.30pm

Venue: United Theological College, 16 Masons Drive, North Parramatta NSW 2151.

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.
