The theme that was chosen, Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit”, is based on John 15.1-17 and expresses Grandchamp Community’s vocation to prayer, reconciliation and unity in the church and the human family.

NCCA resources are now available. The NCCA’s Faith and Unity Commission have graciously adapted the following resources for Australian use:

You will find these on the Faith and Unity page of the NCCA website.
