Saturday 22 February – PEACETalks: DOING GOOD WHEN POLITICS ARE AT PLAY
From 7pm with a light meal, before talk at 7:30pm with Q&A and supper. The theme of ‘doing good’ is scattered throughout the scriptures. Followers of Jesus are commanded to turn from evil to do good and to never cease in doing good. But when it comes to political issues, we find our nation and our churches, split over what exactly can be defined as ‘good’. For example, asking the question “is it good to allow asylum seekers into Australia?” will produce a range of responses amongst a Christian audience.

MARK THIS LENT WITH COMMON GRACE’S DEVOTIONAL SERIES
This year join with the Common Grace community in reflecting on the seven ‘I Am’ statements from the Gospel of John. Led by a range of interesting Bible teachers including an Aboriginal Anglican Bishop, a Christian anarchist and a Salvation Army Lieutenant Colonel, you’ll hear from the diversity of the church about what we have in common – the Lord Jesus. Each week from February 26th you’ll receive a video, daily bible readings and a reflection to stimulate your faith in Jesus as we head to Easter. Sign up here: www.commongrace.org.au/jesus_says_i_am
