Our Bengali Gatherings

For a small church community, we have a surprising number of people who were born or have lived in Bangladesh and the Bengal region. In 2019  we held our first Bengali gathering and, as it was such a significant event, we have responded to the interest of Bengali people from Victoria to hold 3-4 of these occasions each year. These Saturday morning gatherings begin with a cup of tea and include conversation, poetry, song and prayers. They always conclude with a delicious curry and rice meal. As our welcome has been wide, we have had people attending from Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and no faith, yet all feeling much at home.
