Zeal Impact is our opportunity to serve others and serve our community.

We head on down to the local skate park regularly, to help how we can and to build relationships with the guys and girls.

A big thanks to everyone
for the great work at Clean Up Australia Day – and for braving the rainy weather!

6 full bags of rubbish and 1 full bag of recycling. As well as 80 sausages cooked and eaten!

Check out the photos in the Zeal Flickr gallery.

Well it’s been a great year for Zeal in 2009.  Huge gaming at Connect, service at Impact, band and community at Pulse, discussion and encouragement at Equip – and lots of other activities and events.

What did you enjoy?  What would you like for 2010?

As we start putting together the plan for 2010 we would love to hear what you enjoyed in 2009 and what you’d like to do in 2010? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Stuck for ideas then maybe check out Dreamhack - a 10,000 person LAN just held in Sweden.

Well it’s almost the end of the year, and what a great year it has been for Zeal Impact. How as a group we’ve been able to participate and serve in the community.

Continuing the walk theme from the Walk a Mile in My Boots, you’re invited to join in our last event for the year.

Walk Against Warming 2009

Be a part of the biggest ever Walk Against Warming and join millions of Australians demanding action on climate change. Why is this year’s walk so important? It coincides with the critical United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, where world leaders are gathering to decide what actions they will take for a safe climate. The Walk Against Warming is Australia’s contribution to the International Day of Action on Climate Change, as people gather en masse across the globe to have their voices heard. This is BIG!

Where: Walk from Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga to Rymill Park/Murwillaburka
When: 11am this Saturday - 12th December
Cost: Free. Bring some money to buy lunch.  You can also make a donation.
What to bring: Comfy shoes, a hat and some sunscreen.
Where to Meet: Interested in going in together, or maybe catching the bus in?  Let us know and we’ll arrange a central place to meet and travel together.

The more that can make it the better – so invite your parents, your friends and neighbours.

What else for 2009?

Impact is a key part of Zeal. It allows us to serve others in our community, to build relationships, and to encourage and strengthen each other in active discipleship.

We are looking for two more Impact group events for 2009. So keep thinking and looking out for ideas. Is there a way we can serve in your neighbourhood?

Also, we need a few more helpers to continue the Skate Park service. Can you join a team of 4 once or twice a year for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon?

Thanks for all you’re doing in serving and supporting each other and our community.

Please email or call at any time.
