Winter is convincingly upon us. I hope all those winter-lovers are revelling in the crisp air, the lazy weekend mornings snuggled in a warm bed and snow on the ski slopes. Yes, ‘tis the season of scarves, beanies and coats, hot chocolates under gas heaters on Lygon St and swine flu. Winter for City Light also brings...

1. Students' exams. Continue to pray for the students who are having exams. May God grant meaning to their studies and wisdom in their preparation. Not long until it’s all over and holidays!

2. Church camp. "True Love Awaits" - July 10-12, Golden Valleys Lodge, Mornington. Registration is well and truly open! See Ben Ming, Lisa or any of the camp committee.

Praying that each of you keep warm and healthy during this winter. May our hearts be warmed by good fellowship (with good food!), the joy of blessing others and the love of God and the warmth of His promises in His words.

While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease.
-Genesis 8:22-

Fancy a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city? How about 3 days of fabulous fun and fellowship with friends? Then add to that thought-provoking talks and insightful discussions?

This Winter, come with us on a once-in-a-lifetime journey filled with the love of God into the awe-inspiring surrounds of the Mornington Peninsula.
