Happy Easter everyone! The sun has come out for what will be a wonderful long weekend. We hope you will use this time to spend with your family and friends. And perhaps drop by the Chapel for our Easter services and community lunch.
I like to treat this time of year as a moment for reflection. If you’re like me, New Year’s resolutions have nearly gone out the window. But during Easter I like to remind myself of resolutions I can make, not for me but for the people around me, including the Chapel community.
There are many charities, religious groups and not-for-profits around Australia that do extraordinary work. It’s inspiring to hear of the change that is made, especially for people in need of a hand up. Last weekend I attended Wayside Chapel’s 50th anniversary celebration. There was a fantastic number of people there, thanks to their strong community network and media coverage throughout the week. Wayside gives a tremendous amount to the Kings Cross community. In a year they served almost 10,000 meals to the community. They provide counselling services, showers and clothes for the homeless, health support and organise social activities. Wayside is an inspiration to us as we try to do the same for our Bondi community.
We have a lot planned this year at Chapel by the Sea including community dinners, great speakers every Sunday, fundraisers, song circles and more. I hope you can be a part of it.
Cheers,
Liana Di Stefano
