SESSION 1: MARRIAGE & MONEY
Financial stress can cause a great deal of conflict within a relationship.
What do you do when one is a spender and the other is a saver?
Is your marriage under pressure as the cost of living rises?
Do you and your spouse fight over money?
You’re not alone. In fact many couples find both marriage and money challenging. This presentation will discuss how to strengthen your marriage, manage your finances, and draw you closer together. Opportunities for Q&A.

SESSION 2: TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH
What can you do when someone’s going through a crisis or a challenge?
Here in Australia around one in five adults (and if you are under 18 one in four), will suffer from a mental health disorder at some time in their life. It is not a matter of ‘if’ but rather ‘when’ someone that you know will go through a mental health issue.
This presentation will provide an overview of mental health, anxiety, depression and how to support someone going through a situation. We will also explore the importance of building resilience. The aim is to provide you with greater confidence to know what to look out for, what to say and do should it arise in your family and friends. Opportunities for Q&A.

Life@Work Conference Watch Party
Life@Work Conference is City Bible Forum’s annual conference to encourage Christians in the workplace.
It is for Christians in all workplaces, uni students preparing to start work/thinking about faith in the workplace, anyone who is interested in sharing their faith at work!
Why attend the conference?
The working world has gone through a shake up in the last few years, the likes of which we haven’t experienced in our lifetime. New technologies. New ways of working. And at times new challenges unique to Christians. This can be unsettling, but also exciting!
How might the Christian faith help us reimagine a better way to work? A way that enables us to continue to love our colleagues and share Jesus. And cope with the increased feelings of tiredness and exhaustion many of us are feeling.
Join us at Life@Work Conference 2023 as we discover the answers. Feel confident to be a Christian in your daily work, in spite of uncertainty!

Vision & Prayer Night
Over the past year, four churches in Clayton (Clayton Church of Christ, Regeneration Baptist Church, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, All Saints Anglican Church) and Café Care, have come together to create ‘Together for Clayton and Beyond’.
To launch ‘Together for Clayton and Beyond’, we will be hosting a ‘Vision & Prayer Night' at Clayton Church of Christ. This is our first step in pulling the four churches and many others together so that we can share this vision and pray for the suburb of Clayton together.
Event One
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
