Connect09 - Making Connections for Life
Connect09 is about making connections with people and making a connection with God. Our hope is you will connect with God by meeting the real Jesus.

As part of Connect09 we are linking in with the "Jesus. All About Life" prime time media campaign being run from September 15th for six weeks across NSW.
Coordinated by the the Bible Society, the “Jesus. All about Life” campaign is an exciting and innovative all-denominational program designed to raise awareness of the person Jesus.
Jesus says; “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”.
Jesus did not come to start an institution or an organisation, he came so that all people everywhere would not have to live under the burden of a broken relationship with God, but know the abundant life of a restored relationship with God.

If you would like to help us in this campaign it's all about PRAY, CONNECT, EXPECT!
PRAY - Connect09 starts with prayer. It is a call to prayer: prayer for our cities, our regions and our towns. Prayer for our whole community (our communities - some of us live within several).
How can you be involved in Connect09? By praying for the people God has placed around you that you might be light and salt to them.
CONNECT - The researchers say that many people in our society feel disconnected. Yet we don’t want to be disconnected: we want to belong. Christians are blessed with a connectedness, a community built around Christ. Of course we are fallen, and it isn’t always what it should or could be, but it is there. We need to work at connecting. Connecting won’t just happen. We need to make conscious decisions - both large and small - to connect. To love our "neighbour" as ourselves.
EXPECT - Expectation goes hand-in hand with prayer. We pray to a God who hears, a Saviour who loves, a Father who responds. We pray to a God who has told us his will and asked us to pray according to it, that he may work out his purposes through our very prayers. Do we expect things to happen when we pray? If we don’t, hasn’t something gone amiss?
Expectation also goes hand in hand with the Word of God. When God speaks, it is so. His Word is the most powerful force in the universe - in fact it both created and sustains the universe. And God’s Word does not go out without achieving its purpose.
