  4. The Synod’s Major Strategic Review is nearing its end, and is doing the rounds across the synod to give people the opportunity to hear and give feedback on its vision and plans as well as explore its findings and the potential changes for the church. The session to be held in this region is happening next week on Tuesday 8th March from 6:30pm-9:30pm (with a break) at Heathmont UC. It is an important opportunity to understand the directions the Synod may be taking in the future. More information can be found here and you are invited to register to help with catering.
