" Drink Water, Give Water " - Safe Water September, Embody

The aim of Safe Water September is to involve young people and members of our communities to helping raise funds for clean water projects across the globe.

At Living Faith Church, each year volunteers commit to drink only water for the whole month of September. Money that might have been spent on coffees, tea and soft drinks is repurposed towards clean water projects. As a community, we encourage and support those participating and can contribute to our teams fundraising goal.

If you would like more information about Safe Water September you can speak to our team leader Rachael, or visit the Safe Water September Website to read how our small contributions can make a huge impact in communities where clean water is needed. We are glad to be participating for an 12th year. The ongoing support of our community is truly awe inspiring.

Do you want to join our team this year? Speak to Rachael for more information or check out our team page to sign up.

More information can be found on our team's donation page at: https://safewaterseptember.org.au/t/living-faith-church.

Safe Water September is a peer-to-peer fundraising challenge run by Embody, the youth arm of Global Mission Partners (GMP).

The Living Faith Church CAFe group was formed in 2008 to provide a safe space for Carers And Friends (CAF) caring for people with memory loss. The ‘e’ is used to create the word CAFe as the group originally met in a local café in Greensborough.

Today, the group provides an opportunity for carers and friends to connect, offer support, have a chat and a cuppa, and, at times, offer practical assistance and advice when possible.

A Banyle Network of Uniting Churches event

The Café of Dangerous Ideas is designed to do two things: for those of us who are Christians of any persuasion – it is designed to make us ask how our faith impacts on the modern world. For those of us do not share that faith, it is designed to ask how does your morality impact on the decisions you make about various issues in our world today.

The Café of Dangerous Ideas gives you the chance to actively engage your faith and to make connections with others in the community who want to learn and discuss. We welcome you whatever your beliefs and understandings.

We usually meet on the last Friday of the month at the Sycamore Tree Café at 185 Burgundy Street Heidelberg from 7.30 – 9.30pm. A delicious supper is also provided.

Parking is available in the Uniting Church, next to the cafe.

The Craft Group is a safe and welcoming space for people to gather and do their own crafts, share their crafts with others, or learn new skills. It encourages new friendships both within and outside the church community. We hope this will, in turn, encourage the sharing of faith, leading to a closer relationship with God and the ability to offer practical support when needed within the group.

We have tackled many crafts, including woven paper baskets, Yo-Yo (Suffolk puff) making, punch board projects, notebooks, projects using buttons, macrame (it did not beat us!), colour wheel theory, quilling, polymer clay, teabag folding, lots of card-making techniques, and, of course, a full term of various Christmas crafts.
