Upcoming workshops with Naomi Paget 

AVECA, in partnership with the NSW DRCN are pleased to advise that the following online training events are now available:

• 4 April 2023 – Moral Injury
• 5 April 2023 – Crisis care during traumatic grief

We join in prayer for those affected by the earthquake which struck the town of Cianjur in West Java, Indonesia on Monday 21 November 2022.

The other liturgy….care and compassion...in a space where God is and can be known. 

The coming into being of the NCCA’s international humanitarian agency decades ago (now called Act for Peace), was a reflection of the founding energy of the Ecumenical movement.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
