The Lounge Room
A space for women
What is The Lounge Room?
In a home, the Lounge Room is where you relax, where you kick off your shoes after a long day, where you chat with friends over a cuppa. It's a place of connection and comfort.
Our hope is that at 'The Lounge Room', women of different generations, cultures and backgrounds can experience that same feeling as we gather. Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for a long time, or have no faith background, you’re welcome.
The Lounge Room runs 3-4 times a year and will always involve delicious food and drink, fun connection opportunities and encouraging content relevant for women.
Ask Kim a Question
If you would like to ask Kim Smith a question, you can complete a short form via the link below.
You can choose to submit your question anonymously, but Kim will only be able to reply directly if you submit an email address.
Where permission is given, we will collate the questions and Kim's answers into a resource which we will share next week via our Lounge Room email list, and make it available via the webpage sb.org.au/loungeroom. All questions will appear anonymously in the resource.
Help make The Lounge Room happen
Our Lounge Room events happen because of the help of many people. Some contribute to catering, some to setting up or packing up, some contribute flowers, others help make guests feel welcome.
If you'd like to be part of supporting The Lounge Room through serving, click the button below and complete the SBC Volunteer Application, selecting 'Lounge Room' as the area you'd like to serve in.
Connect beyond The Lounge Room
We love getting together at the Lounge Room, but we'd love women to find community and connection at Syndal beyond our 3-4 events a year. Below are some of the ways you can get involved at SBC.
Karinya Counselling
If something we shared in The Lounge Room has stirred up emotions or thoughts which you would like some help processing, we encourage you to consider making an appointment with one of the wonderful counselors at Karinya Counselling Centre, located on Syndal Baptist Church property.
You can visit their website and make an appointment via the button below.
