Christian Gatherings (formerly Backpackers)

Hi guys,

Bit of a last minute thing but if any of you would like to come along to the Mommba Parade, feel free to come along and join Christian Gatherings.

The Moomba Parade is one of the highlights of the Moomba Festival. It features a massive array of floats, dance troupes, community performance groups.

The Parade starts at the Shrine of Remembrance, runs along Birdwood Avenue and finishes at Linlithgow Avenue.

We’ll meet at the Australian in front of the Australian Hellenic Memorial at 10:10am (Look for a very tall man in with a dark blue hat and head down to get our positions to watch the parade at around 10:30am.

We’ll watch the parade (about 1 hour) before heading down to the Southgate food court for a casual lunch at around midday.

As it the custom with Christian Gatherings, at the lunch, we will have a short conversation with a Christian theme.

Given that this is Labour day (celebration of the 38-hour work week), I thought we would have a conversation about work and rest.

So the topic is: “What do you feel about work and rest? What do you feel is the role of work in our lives and the role of rest in our lives?”

What to bring:

· hat/sunscreen (weather prediction is warm, shade is limited whilst watching the parade)
· snacks/drink/water etc. for yourselves whilst watching the parade
· money etc. to buy your lunch (optional) at Southgate food court
