Join us at Powered by Hope – a day to fuel your faith, fill your cup with hope and inspire action.
When Jesus stood up in the synagogue, he proclaimed good news for people living in poverty and marginalised by injustice.
For 80 years we’ve been compelled by that hopeful vision to work for liberation, justice and love. We’ve challenged unfair rules. We’ve demanded change from those in power. We have stood in hope with people living in poverty.
But hope can be hard fought and fragile. What happens when it’s in short supply?
Join us as we wonder at the deep love of God for the world around us, dig deep into hope and explore the limitless ways that we can work towards a world free from poverty.
Whether you're curious about putting faith into action, a seasoned action taker or just want to pray with your legs, then this event is for you.
