Hey Adventurers, we have a special Adventurer Family Rally Day planned for you this year! There will be games, singing, craft and stories – this year our theme is “BIG AND SMALL GOD LOVES US ALL”, and we’ll be looking at all things lizards and insects and how God shows His love to the tiniest of His creations and some of the biggest!
Adventurers programs are designed for children aged 4–9. Family and friends of adventurers are invited to join as well. You do not need to be part of a club to join the fun of Rally Day!
Organised by Women’s Ministries, RENEW Women’s Conference is a weekend filled with food, friendship, praise, and worship. The RENEW conference is a supportive community full of like-minded women who sharpen each other with wisdom, kindness, and love.
