Encounter event June '26

We had word, worship, testimony, prayer and art at our Encounter event for women on Saturday 6 June in St John's Newcastle. Local artist Jacqué McNeill brought along the Lion of Judah and 3 other stunning pieces created from broken and discarded materials which embody the transformative power of Jesus in our lives. Carolina Schmidt, visiting from Chile with SAMS, shared her amazing journey from atheism to faith and Karen Salmon for opened up Hebrews 10 and showed us how to respond to the truth of the new and living way opened for us through Jesus.
