All proceeds from tickets, games, and delicious refreshments will support the team heading off on our Fiji Mission Trip this July, so every wrong answer helps a good cause!
Team up!Bring your own team of up to eight people to dominate the leaderboard, or just rock up and join a table; we’ll find you some new trivia-loving friends.
Snacks will be available for purchase (because trivia is hard on an empty stomach).
Tickets:$10 per person$25 per family (school-aged kids included)
You can buy tickets at the door, but booking in advance helps us make sure there’s enough food, seats, and pens that work.

Everyday Evangelism Training
2026-08-31 10:00 - 12:00 | Figtree Anglican Church, 4-10 Gibsons Road, Figtree, NSW, 2525, Australia
Everyday Evangelism Training
Face-to-face training with Steve Abbott
Mondays from 10am-midday
Four sessions: 31 Aug, and 7, 14 and 21 Sept
Cost: $25 per person for materials and morning tea
How do you naturally talk about Jesus with the people God has placed in your life?
Everyday Evangelism is a practical, interactive four-session course designed to help Christians confidently share their faith in a way that is authentic to who God has made them to be. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, the course helps participants discover how to communicate the gospel in a way that fits their own personality, gifts and opportunities.
Throughout the course you’ll learn to:

Share your own Christ-centred story naturally.
Talk about Jesus with greater confidence in everyday conversations.
Grow in your reliance on prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.
Develop practical skills you can immediately put into practice.

At the heart of this training is a simple conviction: if we want to follow Jesus, we should share his priorities. Jesus was deeply committed to seeking and saving the lost, and this course equips us to join him in that mission with confidence and grace. One of the great benefits of training together is the encouragement that comes from learning alongside others. Participants consistently leave saying, “I can do this!”
Whether sharing your faith feels exciting or intimidating, this course will encourage and equip you to speak about Jesus in a natural, faithful way.
Speaker
Steve Abbott has spent many years training Christians in personal evangelism across Australia. His practical, biblical and encouraging approach has equipped thousands of believers to share the gospel with confidence in everyday life.
Register today and join us as we grow together in confidently making Jesus known.

This is an opportunity to gather with women of all ages, to be inspired by God’s word and real stories, share good food and conversations, and be refreshed with a day away.

Held in the Surrender
The God of the universe holds your life in his hands. In the waiting, in the worrying, we can surrender ourselves to the one who is sovereign, faithful, and worthy of our whole-hearted worship. Across the day we will look at the stories of three different women in the Bible, and consider God’s call to surrender our hopes, fears and hearts to him.
Meet Our Speaker: Grace Jones
Grace currently serves at Wollongong Baptist Church where she oversees Sunday gatherings and seeks to help the church to worship and magnify the Lord. She has completed theological study at both Mary Andrews College (MAC) and Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC) and delights in getting to spend time studying God’s word and unpacking it with others.
Prior to entering into ministry, Grace worked as a high school Drama teacher, and she enjoys stepping back into the classroom from time to time. Grace has been married to Tim for (almost) 16 years, and she relishes long walks down by the beach. Kiama is one of her most treasured places on earth, and she’s delighted to get to join us for a day down south at our retreat!
What to Expect
The day will include Bible teaching from Grace, time in worship and prayer, delicious food, wonderful company, as well as time for electives.
As this is a hired space only we need many hands to help make this event run. In the registration process you will be given some options of how you could serve on the day. Thanks for your servant hearts and hands if you are able.
