We will be heading up to Camp Kedron in Ingleside. Camp Kedron is a Christian retreat and conference centre next to beautiful Kuringai National Park. The site has great recreactional facilities including trampolining, basketball, indoor soccer, foosball, pool table and bush walking.

It will be a good time to encourage one another and study the Bible.

The theme of the weekend will be the 'Sovereignty of God':

‘Unspeakable Comfort' –
The Sovereignty of God and the Christian Life

"There is unspeakable comfort - the sort of comfort that energizes, be it said, not enervates - in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good." – JI Packer

While our neighbours talk…

Men’s Social Night - Pizza ‘n’ Pixels

2010-06-03T06:17:57+00:00

It's time for the men to hang out while Toby is away. We thought it best not to do anything too demanding – physically or financially. So, what fulfils all the criteria of being manly, social, easy and cheap? Pizza and video games of course.

There will be at least three consoles of various generations going simultaneously. So if you don't have the dexterous skills needed to master the real-life warzone intensity of Call of Duty you can surely manage the one button simplicity of Galaga.

This is a purely social night so feel free to bring along any friends who might be interested.

Where: Chris Herbert's Place
When: Friday 2nd July 7:30pm
How much: $5-$10 for pizza

Contact office@pec.org.au or ask at church for the address.
