Dear Friend of Cafechurch Melbourne. It has been a long, strange trip, but the time has now come to merge this account with our new home of Northcote Uniting Church.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our community in all its many incarnations and locations, and we ask for your prayers as we start on the next stage of the journey which God is summoning us to!

You can read about this new stage here: http://northcote.unitingchurch.org.au/history-of-cafechurch

I will be making this change in the next few days.

On the principle that the weirdest, most alarming stories from the Bible are generally the ones with the most to teach us, we are going to be very brave and read the story of the time Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac. It seems a story that is not only alarming, but also completely alien to our world. Is there anything life-giving, or even useful, in it at all?

Join us on at Northcote Uniting Church - Chalice on Tuesday 4/7/23 at 7pm for dinner as we get stuck into this knotty, but maybe lifegiving, discussion.
