WMV Discipleship Conference
The last instruction Jesus gave his followers was to "Go and make disciples".
We know discipleship is important, but what does it really mean?
At our 2024 On the Road conferences, Anna Harris is going to look at Paul's instructions to Timothy to help us think through what it looks like to disciple one another. No matter your age or stage of life, discipleship is a vital area of Christian life that we should all be engaged with.
We hope you can join us at Bendigo to think through what discipleship is, why it matters, and how you can be involved.
Please note that refunds are not available, but if for any reason you are unable to make it to the conference, you will be emailed a link to the video recordings of the talks and workshop. Alternatively you can transfer your ticket to another person by contacting us at wmv@pcv.org.au
You can easily book right now…

Gathered Prayer
At this week’s Prayer Service we’ll hear a short sermon from Mark 2:18-22 on prayer and fasting.
We love to pray, and for those who don’t yet love to pray (but would secretly like to), this is for you too. Prayer is an expression of faith, of reliance on God our Father who cares for His children.
We live such full and busy lives that we must pray. The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:6, ‘do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.’
We see how good prayer is, by seeing how good God is, and you’re invited to come and pray with us too at our weekly Prayer Service.
At our Prayer Service, we’ll sing a song together (perhaps a song that is a prayer) and hear a short message from the Bible. We’ll pray through Scripture, take prayer requests and be led in prayer from the front. We’ll pray in small groups, in large groups and in small moments of silent personal prayer.
Everyone is welcome, kids are welcome. So, come along, bring your requests before God, we will be expectant in prayer together, we will not be anxious about anything, for we will pray about everything.

Women’s Brunch
Ladies Brunch is on Saturday at 10am. No prep needed, just bring your Bible and a plate to share.
Please RSVP to Aimee for using the form below.
Of course children are always welcome but it would be a great opportunity for Dad's to serve their family and give mums some time in the word.
And this is not just for mums! All women & teens are welcome. Our discussion and our time in the Bible is not a mum's club - it's a time for enriching all women. Feel free to bring a friend too.
This term the women of Reforming will be trained in how to handle the word of God using the Swedish method, to encourage and equip one another. This is a time of sweet fellowship and prayer.
Later in the year the women will be learning the character, conviction and competencies of preaching and teaching in women’s ministry. We pray that we can see women encouraged to handle the word of truth for the sake of teaching other women, for the glory of Christ.
Please RSVP by emailing Aimee, if you can join us: aimee.grinter@gmail.com
Men’s Breakfast
The Men of Reforming are gathering at Reforming House (17 Victa Rd) for our monthly BBQ Breakfast, 8am to 10am on the second Saturday of the month.
This year the men of Reforming have the option of two streams to be engaged in.
There is the Bible Study Stream, where we’ll be learning and using inductive tools such as the Swedish method. We pray we can see men equipped to handle the word of truth for themselves, their households and friends.
There is also the Preaching stream, where we’ll be learning the character, conviction and competencies of preaching. We pray we can see men trained to preach Christ, for His glory.
Bring a bible and $5 for breakfast.
Just RSVP by Friday morning so we know how much food we'll need. Hope you can join us!
