Church
As a family, we attend the New Life Church (north). This is part of the New Frontiers family of churches, of which there will soon be three in our city. We have recently outgrown our building and have yet to find a new one to suit our requirements, so we currently meet in the sports hall of a local high school.
The church is a very mixed group with people from all over the world and all walks of life. The range of accents, dialects and skin tones to be encountered within the congregation is very wide indeed. Most continents are represented!
We assist in the leadership of a midweek cell group which meets in the homes of the various members on a Thursday evening. The group enjoys socialising together and a good many of our meetings involve food!
Karyn sings in the church band, while John helps out on the Alpha course. Björn and Torvald are both "mini-stewards" and Björn has recently taken on the repsonsibility of operating the overheads for the worship. Karyn also helps out by creating the PowerPoint presentations to support some sermons. The boys attend the church youth socials on a Friday evening, where they enjoy a wide range of activities from ten pin bowling and quazar to death-by-chocolate and sleepovers.
The church forms the core of our social life and most of our friends are drawn from the congregation. There are many families with children of the same age group as our own, which makes it a very comfortable environment.
