March

The mornings are crisp and I was surprised to find that the leaves are already turning in the Adelaide Hills. There is a certain energy as the year begins and comfort as it settles into a rhythm. This newsletter is full of exciting news and events. Be sure to take the time to put events into your diary.

It has been a long time coming and we are so excited to be launching Walk As One – the new songbook from CMLA. It is full of fabulous music to enrich congregational life and music ministry. Come along and hear the new music on March 27. Bring your worship leaders, ministers, and musos and begin planning what will work for your community.

The Winter Retreat was such a delight last year that Sean and Sharonne and leading new opportunities in the Autumn and the Spring for creative community, practice, and retreat.

There are many more events planned such as another Art Journaling workshop in April and a Book Club in June. More information will be up on our website and in our newsletters as we finalise these in the next few weeks.

As the Lenten journey leads us once more through strengthening our faith in loss and hope, sorrow and joy, through prayer, story and song, may you know the company of community and the presence of Christ.

With hope,  

Jenni, Neryl and Anne
