These Last Hours: Women's Teaching Series

All women are invited to our annual women’s teaching series to hear teaching, stories, and other creative elements from our own wonderful FAC women! This cross-generational event is meeting over three consecutive Tuesday evenings in May at Figtree Anglican Church.
The apostle John wrote much of Jesus’ famous last words to his followers in what is now called the ‘farewell discourse’ in John chapters 14 to 16. If we consider these parting words of Jesus to be important to his followers still today, let’s have look closer at some of them together. How might we choose to live out our ‘last hours’ on earth as women of God?
Week One: Walk with MeTuesday, 5 May, 7:30pmTHE WAY | John 14 | with Jac VermeerWhat words does Jesus share with his followers for them to understand THE WAY of the cross and all that entails for them afterwards? What does living THE WAY mean for us today?
Week Two: Abide with MeTuesday, 12 May, 7:30pmABIDE | John 15 | with Rachel DirksWhat encouragement does Jesus give his followers to enable them to remain true in the midst of persecutions, temptations, and suffering in a broken world? What does it mean for us to ABIDE today?
Week Three: Stay with MeTuesday, 19 May, 7:30pmTHE HELPER | John 16 | with Sarah KinsteadJesus warned his followers that they would soon feel abandoned, bereft, and broken. What kind of lasting HELPER does Jesus send in his stead for his followers that will last the rest of their hours on earth, and ours?

The Feed: Young Adults Teaching Night
2026-03-10 19:00 - 21:30 | Figtree Anglican Church, 4-10 Gibsons Road, Figtree, NSW, 2525, Australia
Information is moving faster than ever. Not only this, but it is so easy for ‘information providers’ to provide selective information, or outright falsehoods. AI, the speed of information, the monetisation of social media feeds, and an increasingly polarised world have all exacerbated this.
As young adults in Wollongong, how do we know what’s really true?
Come along to our Young Adults teaching night to explore this issue with a special focus on the Gospel of John. In John’s Gospel, Jesus makes bold claims about truth, life, and who He is. We’re going to explore how Jesus defines truth in John’s gospel and look for His wisdom on how to live faithfully in the misinformation age.
The night will involve an exploration and analysis of our current cultural moment, a Bible talk, and an open Q&A.
All welcome!
Date: Tuesday, 10 MarchTime: 7pmLocation: Figtree Anglican Church foyer

PTC Course - Promise to Fulfilment
2026-03-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Figtree Anglican Church, 4-10 Gibsons Road, Figtree, NSW, 2525, Australia
REGISTER

The Preliminary Theological Course (PTC) is an excellent way to dig deeper into your biblical knowledge, both to bless your own relationship with God, and help everyone who is leading others in places like LifeGroups, youth, or kids ministry.
‘Promise to Fulfilment’ follows on from the PTC course ‘Intro to the Bible’, it is Biblical Theology part two. The way the course is created means that if you have not yet done part one, you will not be at a disadvantage. Whilst ‘Intro to the Bible’ focuses on seeing the Bible’s big story, ‘Promise to Fulfilment’ is about learning to interpret Scripture with an understanding of the larger story and how it holds together. As it says on the jar, it is about seeing the promises of God, and their fulfilment in Scripture. It’s just the thing for when you find yourself in the back blocks of the books of Obadiah or Nahum. This is your compass to find your way to Jesus, and all the ‘so what’s’ for you. Biblical Theology is the essential method of interpretation for every keen Bible reader to understand, and now is your chance to learn or be reminded.
Full course notes are provided, so if you miss a week you will not be lost, and the exam at the conclusion of the course is optional.
Date: The course runs for 10 weeks on Wednesday nights, starting 4 March.
Time: 7-8:30pm
Location: Figtree Anglican Church
Cost: $30, including all course materials
Registrations close Monday, 2 March.
