7pm, Sunday 20 April 2014 Chapel by the Sea, 95 Roscoe St Bondi Free The Taize community is located in the small French village of Taize in Burgundy. It has become the fountain of a renewed Christian meditative spirituality. Thousands of people from all over the world join the community in prayer three times daily as well as the community life. The style of prayer, especially the hauntingly beautiful music, has spread around the world. Chapel by the Sea has hosted many Taize events in the past. This Sunday we will once again join in meditation, music and prayer. The Taizé community is made up of over a hundred brothers, Catholics and Protestants, coming from around thirty nations. They are a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples. Certain brothers live in some of the most disadvantaged places in the world, to be witnesses of peace there, alongside people who are suffering. Over the years, young adults have been coming to Taizé in ever greater numbers; they come from every continent to take part in weekly meetings. Church leaders also come to Taizé. The community has thus welcomed Pope John Paul II, four Archbishops of Canterbury, Orthodox metropolitans, the fourteen Lutheran bishops of Sweden, and countless pastors from all over the world.

Sunday, 13 April 2014 6pm dinner & 7:15pm concert Chapel by the Sea, 95 Roscoe St Bondi Free One of the things we most appreciate in our ministry at the Chapel by the Sea is the wide network of friends which we have. Indeed it is a core aim of ours to create a participative, sharing and supportive community. Our community includes everything from our long established ministries; Norman Andrews House, Iluka Long Day-care Centre, North Bondi Kindergarten and our Op Shops to new and evolving ministries linked to our arts and cultural programme at Ruby’s Place, ecological and justice work through Transitions Bondi, our healing and wholeness programme, and of course our worship celebrations in their different forms. With all that diversity we like to bring people together from time to time. So we are holding a Chapel Community Tea. We will put on a scrumptious meal followed by a concert featuring Peter Kearney. Peter is a great performer and raconteur. Many of you will be familiar with his songs as several of them we sing during our worship celebrations. Friday, 11 April 2014 7pm dinner, 8pm discussion & 8:20pm movie Chapel by the Sea, 95 Roscoe St Bondi Come to our exciting upcoming event and leave with a deeper understanding of the issues facing Indigenous Australians. How have things changed in the last 20 years? This April we're screening Utopia. Utopia tells the story of the Aboriginal communities in the northern Australian region. They are the oldest human presence on earth and also one of the poorest areas in this country. The documentary reveals stories of oppression and struggle by the Aboriginal community. Journalist and director John Pilger has looked back in time to see how Australians have treated this community, how they were depicted in the media and how Utopia has developed over the years. Cost: $15 (+ donations welcome) Time: Dinner is served at 7pm & the movie starts at 8:20pm A discussion will be held before the movie led by George Newhouse, an Australian human rights lawyer, former local councillor, political activist and ex-Mayor of Waverley (2006-2007). Newhouse is also Special Council at Shine Lawyers where he heads up their Social Justice Practice. Here is your chance to let someone with understanding and influence know your views on Indigenous issues and maybe just walk away with a bit more awareness. Music will be performed during the dinner by Sean Patrick Ryan, a master didjeridoo player. |
