NOTE: HAVEN IS NOT YET OPEN, WE'RE STILL IN THE PLANNING PHASE
-- When do we meet?
We meet together on Sundays 5.00pm-7.00pm.
We finish on time and people can head home and put well-fed kids to bed and prepare for the new week.
Why Sunday evening?It means that Sunday mornings can be kept free to connect with friends through sport, markets, coffee or even visit friends’ churches.
Weeknights tend to be tiring and unsuitable for school kids. Saturdays are usually busy for people, Saturday nights are often about visiting or party time.
What happens?
The format is around focussing on God and some input and discussion around areas of faith and
life. It is accessible to children, aged roughly grades 5-6 or older, but with space for younger ones to play.
