Church is more then a building, it is the believers meeting together through the week for prayer, study, and fellowship, encouraging one another, loving one another, laughing and weeping with one another.
Here at Lismore Anglicans there are many groups that you can participate in.
Groups can also share news with others on Lismore Anglicans Facebook.
