What to expect: Check out the timetable here with a cheeky FAQ!
Don’t miss out on a fun-filled weekend with your church! Featuring bacon and eggs & freshly brewed coffee for brekkie, wraps & sliders for lunch, spaghetti for dinner & home-cooked brownies & ice-cream for dessert.

Expect 4 cracking talks from Leviticus, beaching, basketball, board-games and bushwalks, capping it off with hilariously fun community time on Saturday Night.

Topic – Authentically Different.
We know how it looks and feels to be authentic. True to your beliefs, your personality, to who you are. We also know being a Christian makes us different, especially in a world that’s telling us “you do you”. So how can I be me and be who God calls me to be? Can I be my genuine self and be a Christian? Over the weekend Geoff is going to help us discover how to be authentically different – from, of all places, the little read book of Leviticus

FAQ:

1. What?! When?!

5pm Away is on the 24th to the 26th of May. We will be staying at the picturesque Chittick Lodge, nestled in picturesque Gerringong, offering picturesque coffee shops and a picturesque walk to the beach.

2. What time should we arrive, and when will we depart?

Sign in: 4pm
First session is at 7:30 PM to allow for travel after work.
Depart by 2 PM on the 26th of May, after a leisurely luncheon.

3. What are the sleeping arrangements?

Chittick only offers single-sized bunk beds. So we’re leaning into the “mid-00’s slumber party vibes” and splitting guys and girls into separate ensuite cabins. Your choice of top or bottom bunk!

4. What should I pack?

Essentials: Sleeping bag or sheets, blankets/doona, pillow, toiletries and towel, clothes for the weekend
Non-essentials: phone chargers, exercise gear, a deck of cards with a few extra aces, maybe a book?

5. Are meals provided?

Yes, all meals are included from breakfast on the 25th to lunch on the 26th.

IMPORTANTLY: dinner on Friday isn’t provided, so please pick some up before you leave the house/pick some up on the way down.
We recommend the fish and chips or pizza place in Gerringong (call ahead!)

6. How do I get to Chittick Lodge?

Chittick Lodge is accessible by car or public transport. Plenty of parking! Carpooling options can be arranged for those interested.

7. What if I can’t do the full weekend?

Chittick charges a base rate for day visitors to cover the cost of cleaning, utilities, etc. But we would hate for you to miss out on the goodness of 5pm Away, so we reckon it’s absolutely worth coming, even if it’s only for the day.

If you have any other questions or queries (e.g. “What if I only want to stay one night?”), please email adamc@saltchurch.info and we can make it happen!

Every year at Salt Away we dig into a meaty topic from the Bible and come away with a richer appreciation and love for Jesus. Have a listen to talks from previous years:
