We have changed the name of our regular newsletter to mark the start of our new post-COVID era when we published Ian’s Update to keep us informed of our operations throughout the 2-year period of the COVID Health Emergency.
In this first edition of The Informer, we take a fresh look at our vision and various aspects of behind-the-scenes work that supports our operations and provides details of the many events planned from now until March. You will see that we intend to hit the ground running this year as a base for our 2023 theme Building the Body – What it means to know, grow and go as a believer in Jesus.
The Informer includes links to Events so that you can RSVP to advise that you will be attending including booking into the lunch after the church service next Sunday, the first Community Dinner at the Vikings Club and enrolling in the Canberra Bible College – among other events.
