WHAT WE DO

MEET
We meet on the last Wednesday of the month at 2 different times so that no matter what sift you are working that day, you should not be prevented from attending. We have identical meetings at 1pm for lunch and then from 2pm have a chance to discuss a topic from the bible. In the evening we start at 7:30pm with supper and networking at 8:30pm.

2011 saw the start of this exciting new project with the following 3 main aims::

SUPPORT
There are sometimes these professions that are hard to cope with. The ongoing effects of a traumatic scene or just the isolation caused by siftwork can take its toll. We are forming networks of more and less experienced people to suport each other in the work place and in everyday civilian life. As well we are commencing a network of those able to offer pastoral and practical care in times of need.

ENCOURAGE
Not every day is a bad day, many days we just need the encouragement of others to keep growing in faith. We will be encouraging each other by word, deed and most especially through the bible. Each month we will open up the bible for discussion and talk. We will also have a time where someone will pray for us in our occupations - generally and specifically. No-one will be asked to pray out loud if this is uncomfortable, but the ability to ask for prayer anonymously will be available.

OUTREACH
The last century has seen a reduction in the numbers of people who attend church or have an active faith. However, people are still very spiritually hungry. We aim to share the good news of reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ with our friends, family and collegues in a way that is applicable and relevant. We are plan a larger event each year specifically to invite curious friends and family to.  This year the NSW Treasurer will address us at our July meeting at Chapter House in St Andrew's Cathedral, Bathurst St, Sydney.

We would be so excited for you to join us!!
