Welcome

Wominjeka. Welcome. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge our gratitude that we share this land, our sorrow for some of the costs of that sharing and our collective hope and belief that we can move to a place of equity, justice and partnership together.

Located in the Hills, committed to serving our local community. At our heart is the wisdom and teachings of Jesus which include deep listening, compassion, hospitality, justice and loving one another, especially marginalised people.

Comfortable with all faiths/denominations and gender diversity. Collaborative and intergenerational. Friendly, and understanding, exploring spirituality and contemplation, evolving, and changing. Connected to and conversing with our community, offering marginalised people a place to feel safe. Grounded in Justice, thinking outside the square.

You’re welcome to call us on (03) 9754 2177,  contact us via email,  follow us on Facebook,  have a look around our website or come and visit us at 1566 Burwood Highway, Tecoma.

All Saints Day – Sunday Nov 10th

We are continuing the tradition of holding an All Saints Service, but will offer it one week later than usual to avoid the long weekend.

So join us on Sunday Novemeber 10th as we hold a sacred space for remembering those we have Loved and Lost.
Again we will be lighting candles for all those we hold dear and who continue to speak to us across the veil of time and death.

As in other years, we will ask people to bring a photo or precious item that speaks of your loved one: a teacup, a pipe, a pressed flower, a record, a rose, a ring …

 

Hall Hirer & Community Events

The Haven: Repair Cafe Running every week!

Barb has the clothing repair station running as well. Some come along with any clothing in need of mending, and we’ll help give it another life.
Also, bring your IT issues along to the “Talk about IT” table. If you are having any computer, phone or tablet challenges, roll up during Haven and get some help.

 

You can pop in to Haven to grab a cuppa, sit and be, or participate in some of the craft activities that our wonderful crew supply (or bring a craft activity you are working on) and then hang around for a hearty lunch!

Runs from 9:30am – 11:30am throughout school terms.
There will also be soup served from 11:15am.
Come and join in for a feed – whether or not you are able to come to The Haven.
