Mixing Bowl

IMG_6303

Mixing Bowl is a mixture of people exploring what Christian faith, art and community looks like outside of the traditional church context. We meet twice monthly at Shieldfield Art Works and always enjoy a meal together as part of our gathering. We creatively engage and reflect on a theme that has caught our attention, and pray together.

We meet on second and fourth Tuesday evenings each month, 6.30-8.30pm at SAW.

During August we take a break from our regular gatherings, and will restart meeting in September with the first Mixing Bowl on 10th September 2019.

Mixing Bowl has its own section within the Shieldfield Art Works blog - see our blog posts below to get a flavour for some of our previous gatherings.

If you would like more information about Mixing Bowl please send an e-mail to enquiries@saw-newcastle.org or join our Facebook group. You can also sign up to the SAW mailing list and make sure to tick the box for Mixing Bowl as an interest to receive emails about our gatherings (two emails per month).
