Join us at New Life 2026 as Jocelyn Bignall opens the book of Lamentations and helps us discover how God meets us in our deepest grief and sorrow.
In seasons of pain and heartbreak, it can often feel as though God is distant or unaware of our suffering. Yet throughout Scripture, God invites His people to bring their sadness, questions, and struggles honestly before Him.
Together, we’ll explore the practice of lament – learning how God draws near to us in our darkest moments and offers hope in the midst of sorrow.
Come and be encouraged by the truth that we are never alone in our suffering, and that even in grief, God remains faithful and near.
Join us for the annual Armidale Hospitals and Aged Care Chaplaincy fundraising and support dinner. This is a fantastic opportunity to find out what’s been happening over the past year, find out more about how you can get involved, and contribute financially to the ongoing work of the chaplaincy.
Tickets are $35 ($25 for pensioners) and can be purchased online or in person at the Diocesan Registry during business hours: 118 Rusden St, Armidale
Join us at YOUTH MUSTER ’26 for an amazing weekend of fun, friends and hearing about Jesus. Hundreds of teenagers and their leaders will gather from all across the north-west to meet Jesus in the Bible. We’ll see from Mark 8-10 that Jesus is the Lord who saves, and that he calls each and every one of us to lay down our lives and follow him.
This year we’ll be joined by Miles Stepniewski from New Light Anglican Church, Riverstone (Western Sydney) who will challenge us to follow Jesus with everything we have.
Registration is via your local youth group. Tickets will go on sale soon!
