Occasionally the topics are challenging which promotes lively and thoughtful conversation. Hospitality is about seeing Jesus in ordinary people. Others in the group are all encouraged to lead the discussion if they wish. All are welcome any time to drop in.

This worship time differs from the other service formats offered at Manningham Uniting Church and Community Centre and many other Christian services. Through a variety of music genres…
