Manna Gum Afternoon Conversation (Brisbane)

“Reflecting on the state of the church in Australia”.

If you are in the Brisbane region, you are invited to join Jonathan Cornford in a Manna Gum Afternoon Conversation on Saturday 25 July.

This is a chance to hear a bit about the work of Manna Gum, meet others in the Manna Gum network and discuss some topics that don’t get much airplay in churches, all in the pleasant informal setting of Leesa’s Little Farm in Deception Bay.

To spark the conversation, Jonathan will share some thoughts on the state of the church in Australia in 2026.

  • The event is free, but please RSVP so we can know numbers.

  • Afternoon tea will be provided.

  • For those interested, there is the option of a quick tour of Leesa’s Little Farm (weather permitting).

When: 2pm-4pm, Sat 25 July
Where: Leesa’s Little Farm, 149 Old Bay Rd, Deception Bay
