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. 7pm, Sunday 30 March 2014 Chapel by the Sea, 95 Roscoe St Bondi Free What do At The Movies co-host David Stratton, Wayside Chapel founder Ted Noffs and high court judge Michael Kirby have in common? They were all investigated by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). Filmmaker Haydn Keenan poured over ASIO files and discovered some amazing stories. His four part series Persons of Interest was screened on SBS in January. Many people took notice of the series as, according to Haydn, 500,000 individuals were spied on. What began as an organisation to counter foreign communist influence soon became unnerving investigations on a number of Australians. To be worthy of your own ASIO file you only needed to be an actor, journalist, indigenous person or protester. On Sunday 30 March Haydn will talk about how ASIO changed over time and who it investigated. Don't miss out!. 7pm, Sunday 23 March 2014 Chapel by the Sea, 95 Roscoe St Bondi Free Mahboba Rawi has experienced the chaos conflict in Afghanistan has brought upon the country and people. She herself was forced to flee Kabul after leading a student protest. Now living in Australia, Mahboba has spent the last 16 years working to provide a sustainable future within a secure environment for disadvantaged Afghan women and children. There is an astonishing number of widows and orphans in Afghanistan without resources or education as a result of the conflict. Mahboba's Promise, an organisation she founded, aims to educate Afghan women and children on literacy, vocational training, life skills and their rights. This Sunday Mahboba will talk about the contribution of the Australian public has made to building orphanages, schools, health clinics and communities facilities in Afghanistan and the huge impact these have made on the community. Don't miss hearing this inspirational woman speak! |
