ZERO to GOSPEL presented by the City Bible Forum, Canberra

ZERO to GOSPEL presented by the City Bible Forum, Canberra

How are those workplace conversations going?

Perhaps you've been working in a team and you have the desire for your work colleagues to know Jesus, but there never seems to be an appropriate opening for you to talk about him. Maybe you work in a team that is hostile or skeptical of Christianity and you aren't sure how to have a helpful conversation about Jesus. Come along and see that it is possible to generate respectful conversations that get to the gospel! Our keynote speaker, Revin Blanchard, will be sharing concrete examples and there will be ample time for Q&A.

The evening will begin with a meal at 6pm and we promise it won't run overtime so you'll have enough time to get ready for work on Wednesday.

Please take advantage of the early bird group discount by finding 2 others and register by 21 May!

Revin is a public servant who has worked at several different departments and has a passion for seeing people share the gospel. He is currently studying a BTh at St Mark's National Theological Centre, with whom we are pleased to be partnering for this event, and also working at Crossroads Christian Church as a student pastor.

WHEN: 6pm-9pm, Thursday,27th June

WHERE: Goulburn Soldier’s Club

COST: FREE
For more information please contact Peter on 0477 729 913 or FaceBook.

Gary Wilson’s story

Gary dropped out of high school at 17 to join the Australian Army. After 10 years service, he was then posted into the 4th Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment (CDO), which later became the 2nd Commando Regiment as an Electronic Warfare Operator. 

He deployed in 2010 with the Special Operations Task Group on Rotation XII and was critically wounded with an alleged 4% chance of survival. 

His story is one of amazing circumstances with an unquenchable thirst to return to his previous levels of fitness with the desire to return to working with the Special Forces and continue providing them support. 

Since the severity of his injuries left him unable to remain a serving member of the Australian Defence Force, he has found his new path to share his story and help people to understand that anything is possible if they set their heart and mind to it. He is also a budding life coach and after completing his PT qualifications, he is also a Personal Trainer with the aim to work with clients, to give a more holistic focus in achieving their goals.

GOULBURN ALPHA COURSE

Goulburn “ALPHA Course”

What is ALPHA?

Alpha offers the opportunity to do just that – in an informal, friendly and open environment. No one can force anyone to believe anything, we've found over the years that if we express radical hospitality and let guests be themselves, lives will be transformed.

Each week starts with a talk that looks at different questions centred around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. We run Alpha several times a year in different locations and it always involves some key elements: food, a talk and good conversation. You're free to listen, learn, discuss, discover and ask anything.

WHEN: 6pm-9pm, Thursday evening from 25th July until 26th September.

Country KYCK Bonus.

Back in 2019!

At the last few KYCKs we raised money to help subsidise some of our KYCK friends.  In 2014, the Country KYCK Bonus was introduced for the first time and since then we've had over 400 youth come from the country - that's just amazing!  If your youth group travels from the ‘country’, we understand how much harder it is for you to come to KYCK.  We want to make it a little easier by giving you a little boost! 

We're excited to say that the KYCK Country Bonus will be BACK IN 2019! 

What's the bonus?
BONUS #1: $20 off per ticket if it's your group/church's first time at KYCK.
BONUS #2: $10 off per ticket if your group/church has been to KYCK before.

How do I get the KYCK Country Bonus?

STEP 1: If you think you are eligible to get this bonus, get your group leader to fill out the application form.
STEP 2: If you are eligible, you will receive an email with a discount code you can use online.

Sound easy?
Well it is!  But there are some conditions...

KYCK Country Bonus Terms and Conditions

  1. Funds for this Bonus are limited, so it's a first in, best dressed policy!

  2. Apply for the Country KYCK Bonus BEFORE you purchase your tickets.

  3. The Bonus will only be applied to the registration if the group leader pays for all the tickets. 

  4. Not all groups who apply will receive the Bonus.  You will receive an email from KCC within one week after your application regarding whether or not you are eligible.

  5. The discount code/s cannot be used by other groups or transferred to those who have not applied for the bonus. 

  6. A "new group" means that they have NOT attended KYCK in the past.

  7. A "group" can be a youth group or school group.

FAQs.

Who should attend KYCK?
KYCK is for people of high school age.  We encourage youth groups to attend, along with their leaders.
Every group must have at least one person who is over the age of 18 who will be supervising the group - unfortunately single registrations are not permitted. 
What if I'm not part of a youth group?
We encourage you to join the local youth group or ask your school friends to see if their youth group is attending KYCK so you can join them. Otherwise let us know and we will see if there are any youth groups attending from your area.
 
What is KYCK all about?
At KYCK we take Jesus seriously, we take the Bible seriously and we take holiness of life seriously.  Our hope is that as teenagers gather at KYCK, they will be impacted to follow Jesus in such a way that they look to eternity rather than wasting their lives on the temporal things of this world.  At KYCK 19 the focus again will be on challenging and equipping teens from the Bible to boldly live the Christian life.
 
How can I get involved?
We love it when people want to get involved with KYCK! There are a few ways you can do this. You can pray.  You can volunteer to help out with various parts of the weekend - e.g. as ushers, in the bookshop and serving morning tea etc.

If you're interested, head to the Volunteer page to let us know!

What is the KYCK weekend format?
The weekend is made up of a series of 6 Bible talks, interspersed with food breaks, free time and other organised activities.  Please visit our Program page for more information. 

Here's a snapshot of what to expect at KYCK this year!
6 life-changing Bible talks
Seminar on a youth relevant topic
Worship in song with Christian artists
Exposure to Christian organisations at the KYCK Fair
Opportunity to invite non-Christian friends to an evangelistic talk
 
How do we get to the convention site?
The Katoomba Christian Convention site is 110km west of Sydney at Katoomba. It is accessible by car (along the M4) or by train to Katoomba Station and a short taxi ride to the site.

The address is 119 Cliff Drive, Katoomba NSW 2780.
 
Can we organise our own accommodation? 
Yes!
Many groups like to organise their own accommodation for the weekend after they have missed out on KCC accommodation. There are plenty of houses around Katoomba where you can stay. If you're a small group and the KCC accommodation is booked out, why not partner up with another local youth group and share accommodation? It’s a great way to form new relationships and encourage each other!
 
Please see this list of offsite accommodation options to help!

COMING UP ON FRIDAY 1ST MARCH

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE

WHEN: 10AM, FRIDAY 1ST MARCH
WHERE: ST SAVIOUR’S CATHEDRAL, GOULBURN
MORNING TEA AFTER SERVICE

World Day of Prayer is held on the first Friday in March each year across the world, in over 170 countries. World Day of Prayer which had its beginnings in the late 1800’s is about praying with, rather than for, our sisters of other races and nations. It is an ecumenical service that each denomination takes turns to host.

This year the service will be held at St Saviour's Anglican Cathedral, Goulburn on Friday 1st March at 10am followed by a morning tea.

The focus of prayer for World Day of Prayer moves to a different country each year. This year it is on Slovenia, a central European country surrounded by Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the north-east, Croatia to the south and with an Adriatic Sea coastline.

CMS Canberra Mission Focus - February 2019

CMF-2019-PowerPoint-16x9.jpg

CMS Canberra Mission Focus

15th - 16th February 2019
Radford College
1 College St, Bruce ACT

About

CMS Canberra Mission Focus is an annual event run by CMS and local supporters in Canberra, where Christians gather together and focus on the enduring power of the gospel.

You will spend time being engaged, encouraged and challenged by CMS missionaries as they share stories about how God is reaching the nations with his word. It is a time to reconnect with friends and make new ones, meet and be inspired by missionaries, and be refreshed for the year ahead.

Theme and speaker

God’s mission to the nations is a glorious one. Lives are transformed. Hearts of stone are turned into hearts of flesh. And people all across the world find unity and fellowship through the Christ who saves.

And yet, on this side of Jesus’ return, life and ministry is messy. Family troubles are brought to light. Illnesses disrupt plans. Relationship breakdowns bring hardship. And people involved in ministry often battle tiredness, loneliness and depression. How do we fix our eyes on the glorious truth of Jesus when life feels so messy?

For many Christians, CMS Summer School is one of the best loved events of the year. We’ve been holding this annual conference for over 100 years. And while some things have changed – electricity, plumbing, caffeine – the heart of Summer School is the same: faithful and challenging Bible teaching, inspiring first-hand insights into cross-cultural ministry, and plenty of time to catch up with friends in the afternoons.

Held from the first Saturday in January through to the following Friday, CMS Summer School is a time of renewal and reflection. It’s a week of immense value for all believers as we live out our lives for Christ. If you’ve never been, join us this January in Katoomba. We’d love to have your company.

Synergy's Summer Camps 2019

Synergy's Summer Camping Program, know as Camp Pelican, is packed with fun activities, time at the beach and a quality community with plenty of opportunities to make friends and where everyone is welcome.

A typical day on camp will include morning, afternoon and evening activities, 3 meals and snack times, a session where we explore the Christian faith, small group discussion times and an evening reflection time.

Campers are encouraged to participate in all aspects of camp life as they feel comfortable to do so. Questions, ideas, opinions and thoughts are welcomed!

Our camps are in dormitory style accommodation and provide a safe, fun environment for all who attend. Camps are run by fully accredited leaders who are trained and approved by the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

Which Camp Do I Go On?

As a general rule, campers will attend the camp that corresponds to the school year they completed in December.

If you completed Yr 6 in 2018 then the Middle School Camp is for you. Similarly if you completed Yr 9, the Junior High Camp is for you.
If you need more information please contact Andrew via email.

Campers who have completed Yr 4 in 2018 are invited to attend the Middle School Camp.
