The Temple Society Australia is an independent faith community based on Jesus’ core message - to love God and to love your neighbour as yourself.

The Temple Society Australia (TSA) is an independent faith community, free of fixed statements of belief. Jesus’ core message - to love God and to love your neighbour as yourself - underpins our religious purpose and the individual’s spiritual journey, guided by their conscience. The TSA is based on shared aims and ideals, valuing compassion, cooperation and diversity. Trust, acceptance and respect are the cornerstones of our community.

Yesterday we welcomed a lovely group to our Bentleigh Community Hub for one of our Victorian Seniors Festival community get-togethers. There was plenty to do and plenty of chatter.

Sleeves were rolled up and aprons went on as everyone helped shape a batch of pretzels to share. While they baked, we got pottering and everyone planted their own microgreens kit to take home. There were some very proud gardeners by the end!

The pretzels came out warm from the oven and were enjoyed over a cuppa and a good long chat. And while the microgreens were lovely, let’s be honest… we all know it was really about the pretzels.

A big thank you to Nanne for leading the pretzel-making, to Bunnings Moorabbin for supporting the day and to everyone who came along.

Today, some of our Faith & Spiritual Elders together with our Community Care Manager, Martina, took part in training focused on family violence awareness in multicultural communities.

It explored how faith leaders can better recognise the signs of family violence, respond safely and help create spaces where people feel supported, heard and cared for. It was a great opportunity to keep learning about an issue that affects many people and communities.

In April 2024, two Australian doctors from Sydney — Dr Sanjay Adusumilli and Dr Siraj Sira — entered Gaza as part of a small group of international medical workers.

Until the Sky Falls Quiet follows their journey into a world shaped by bombardment, displacement and scarcity — and the resilience and humanity they witnessed while working in overwhelmed hospitals.

This is a deeply human story. One that explores the limits of medicine and empathy, and the impossible choices faced in a collapsing health system.

Rather than a traditional cinema release, this film is being shared through community screenings, creating space to reflect, sit with the story and connect with others.

Following the screening, stay for a Q&A and complimentary afternoon tea.

Saturday, May 16
3pm – 6pm
51 Elizabeth Street, Bayswater

🎟 Tickets from $5
✨ All proceeds support Olive Kids

All are welcome!
