EQUIP Women 2023

EQUIP is an inspiring Christian conference for women. This year, the conference will be live streaming over the internet for us to watch together at Gosford Presbyterian Church. Come join us for a wonderful day with others from the Central Coast, being encouraged and challenged by the Word of God.

There’ll be Bible talks on the book of Haggai, and a live Q+A session, too.

EQUIP is also an opportunity to recharge away from daily life, catch up with friends or make new ones, as well as enjoying some delicious food together.

EQUIP is open to ALL women, so invite a friend to come along too!

Adult tickets are $28 each, with a delicious lunch included. And this year, teens can attend the conference for free!

You can find out more about the program for the day at the EQUIP website.

EQUIP Women Live Stream 2022

“How deserted lies the city, once so full of people … bitterly she weeps at night”. 

In 2021, we began a new series in the Old Testament, starting with the enchanting story of Ruth and Naomi. In 2022, we move to the often forgotten book of “Lamentations”.

Written as 5 “laments” in raw, heart-wrenching poetry, we walk the streets of war-torn Jerusalem after the Exile.  A deeply reflective book, it enables a deep understanding of ourselves, God and the future.

Join us on Saturday 18 June 2022 at Gosford Presbyterian Church to hear God’s Word to us in the book of Lamentations. Come join us for a wonderful day together being encouraged and challenged by the Word of God.

This is also an opportunity to recharge away from daily life, catch up with friends (or make new ones!), and enjoy lunch together.

Adults tickets are $25 each, and teens can attend for only $7! Reserve your seat today.

Schedule

10am - 12pm
Session 1: The City of Tears (Lamentations 1-4)

12pm - 1pm
Break for Lunch

1pm - 3pm
Session 2: The City without Tears (Lamentations 5)

*Please note that women and teens watch the same conference stream.

EQUIP at Home 2020

Eternity-Flourish-WCOC.jpg

We’re sorry that we won't be able to meet in person for our annual live streaming of the EQUIP women’s conference this year. But we are excited the EQUIP team are bringing us the same great Bible teaching re-imagined for this peculiar season.

Instead of a one day conference, they have prepared two shorter EQUIP at Home episodes. Perfect for watching at home on your own or with a small group.

There’s no better time than now to be thinking about Eternity. And it’s no surprise that the answers start with one man and one event - Jesus and his resurrection. See you on June 20 and 27.

What’s happening?

Each episode will premiere at 10am and be followed by a LIVE Q&A with that episode’s speakers.

EPISODE 1: Saturday June 20, 10am – 12 noon
Is the resurrection true? - Alli Muscat | Does the resurrection matter? - Tash Leong

EPISODE 2: Saturday June 27, 10am – 12 noon
Our resurrection body - Lesley Ramsay | Our resurrection work - Di Warren

How to use your ticket?

We know life is constantly changing at the moment, so don’t worry if you miss the premieres - your ticket will allow you to watch both episodes on-demand until July 27. You can even re-watch them!

We’re also aware that in addition to the virus, many people are facing unemployment or a reduced income. Whilst we can’t make registration free, we don’t want anyone to miss out because of the price. So, we’re asking you to pay $15 per person (which includes both episodes), whether you watch alone or with a small group. This will help us cover some of the production costs.

Your ticket will also give you access to resources designed to help you keep thinking about Eternity, whether that’s on your own or with your friends. There’s also going to be something very special for our teens!

About our speaker: Sue McConaghey

Sue is a recently retired clinical psychologist. She has spent the past 10 years working with cancer patients and their families at Gosford hospital’s Cancer Centre. She has always thought of herself as a planner but doesn’t have a plan for the rest of her life! She is confident that, with the help of a husband, three sons, two daughters-in-law and four grand-children, something will come up!

Sue is also confident that God is in control and will guide her steps. She knows that three decades’ worth of unfinished cross-stitch kits and patterns is not enough for quality of life! She is delighted to be speaking about advent calendars and sharing what she has discovered about God’s plan to love humankind and bring us back to Himself.

COST: $25 per person includes afternoon tea, drinks and a DIY Advent Calendar Kit

RSVP: Please sign up, pay and choose your kit colour by the 24th of November

Meet the guest speaker:

Clare Patch

Clare has enjoyed living and working on the Central Coast for over thirty years. It has been the perfect environment to raise six children, explore her interests in nutrition, public health and counselling, while being involved in a supportive Christian community. 

Married life with Phil began at Dooralong Lodge in the valley and their home has been a place of refuge for people to recharge, reconnect with God and learn valuable life skills. Together they have been involved with planting two churches in the Wyong region.

Clare is passionate about working with people to achieve their full potential. She has run numerous Bible based recovery and educational groups in her local community.  

Currently Clare is a volunteer case management at Destiny Haven (a women’s residential life skills training program), partners with her husband in an electrical and solar business and conducts occasional fermenting classes with the Picked Pepper Cooking School. 

Clare loves sitting around the table with family and friends over a home cooked meal. Her garden is her sanctuary where Clare delights in growing vegetables and herbs for the family.
