🌸 You’re Invited: Remembrance Service for Victims of Domestic Violence 🌸
Thursday 27 November • 9.15am for a 9.30am start
Southlakes Anglican Church, Morisset
Domestic violence is not just a statistic—it's a heartbreak felt across our neighbourhoods. In the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region, domestic-violence-related assaults have risen by more than 13% in the last two years. That’s mothers, daughters, sisters, neighbours… people we know and love.
But together, we can be part of the solution. 💜
Join us for a gentle and meaningful Remembrance Service where we’ll honour those whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence and stand together in hope for change.
✨ Guest Speaker: Rev. Melanie Whalley, Rector of Toronto Anglican Church
✨ Special Presentation: Wendy Cramp, sharing her vision for Jhouse, a new local women’s refuge
✨ After the Service: We’ll gather at the Red Bench to place crosses in remembrance—a powerful symbol of solidarity and love
This is a community moment. A chance to show up, stand together, and say: “Not in our neighbourhood. Not on our watch.”
Bring a friend. Bring your compassion. Bring your voice for change.
🕊 Let’s fill the church with hope, courage, and unity.
🕊 Everyone is welcome.
If you have any questions, please reach out—we’d love to see you there. 💜
