The Daylesford Uniting Church has been involved in a deep discerning process over many months about what it is being called to do and be as a church by the Divine.
Through sharing in hopes and dreams, in speaking honestly about failings in the past and our strengths, in sharing over meals, in silence, in brainstorming and in prayer and in ongoing discussion, the congregation has now adopted its vision
Embracing Difference - Sharing the Hospitality of Jesus
This vision will be lived out in many ways, but one of the first was launched last Friday with ‘Mingle at the Mitchell’.
Each Friday morning between 10:00am and 11:30am, members of the congregation are creating a ‘cafe space’ at the little hall at church. Here there is good fair trade coffee and tea all for only a gold coin donation.
Magazines and newspapers are available to flick through, music is in the background and here is the opportunity to get to know other locals - to meet others and maybe even make new friends. This aims to be a non threatening space in which all are welcome.
Last Friday’s ‘Mingle at the Mitchell’ was full of laughter and the sharing of hospitality. It was great to be part of. All are very welcome to pop by… come for as long or as little as you like.
Mitchell Hall, 56 Central Springs Road, Daylesford.
