AnCon 2021
Given the current climate of the Greater Sydney lockdown, AnCon21 will look different to what was originally planned. Ironically, AnCon21 will no longer be ‘In The Flesh’. Under the current restrictions and uncertainty of the future, there is no plausible option to enable AnCon21 to go ahead as a full 5-day in person residential conference.
This saddens us deeply, knowing the joys of being together in person; in community as a whole Evangelical Union, hearing from God’s Word, singing praises to Him, reflecting on His Work in small and large group settings, growing old friendships and creating new friendships.
Despite all the raw and real emotions this news may bring, we as an AnCon team believe that God can and will still work amongst the modified AnCon21. Anything run online will be less good than what we could do in-person. We will lose, attention, personal connection, and the richness of meeting face-to-face. However, this is no reason to lower our expectations of how God might use AnCon: our Father can still work powerfully. In fact, we know he delights to show his power in the midst of human weakness.
We invite you to join us online for AnCon21 Refresh: Growing Spiritually during Lockdown and Beyond
AnCon this year will be a free online conference, from Monday 2nd – Thursday 5th August. Over these four days, we will be hearing from God’s Word in thoughtful talks from Rowan and in reflection time in smaller groups, meeting in day communities and regional gatherings, and hearing electives from our LRLR workers and EU Staff Workers and Howies.
As a current registrant of AnCon21, you will automatically be reimbursed full payment and registered for the free AnCon21: Refresh Online. AnCon21: Refresh Online. For now, save the date, and get excited to experience God’s gracious work amongst our EU community!
If you have any problems with registration, or have any questions, please email Lesley Zhang on ancon.rego@gmail.com.
The SUEU's Annual Conference (AnCon) is a 5 day residential conference run by the Sydney University Evangelical Union for all students to come and learn more about who Jesus is.
Jesus and the Search for Connection
Each year at AnCon we consider a core and essential aspect of the Christian faith. In 2021 our doctrine is Jesus Christ (Christology) and how he impacts everything. Understanding the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ is key to understanding the relationships in which we exist: our relationship with God, with one another, with our families, with his world around us.
What happens at AnCon?
The week will be jampacked with time learning together and time to rest and reflect on what you are hearing. Each day will begin with time spent in community with people studying similar things to you, learning from God’s word. We'll hear from people engaged in gospel ministry around the world. There are seminars to keep thinking together, and free time to hang out with the people you are meeting and make lots of memories. Every evening we will be learning about who Jesus is as the God-man who is Lord and Christ, and how that impacts how we connect with our family, friends, the world... everything!
