Called to Abide is an invitation to step away from the noise and into the presence of the King.
Join us for a beautiful time of worship, rest, and renewal as we learn to rest in the Lord, abide in His presence, and exchange striving for the peace of simply being with Him.

The Awaken Ladies Event is a highlight on the calendar – it’s a powerful annual gathering created for women who are hungry to go deeper with God.
This is more than just an event. It’s a sacred space where we lean into God’s Word, His presence, and authentic community. Each year, women from across East London come together to be refreshed, encouraged, and transformed.
The first Shofar East London Awaken event was held in 2013. Since then, it has grown into a significant annual moment where countless women have encountered God in personal ways
Every year, our team seeks God’s heart to create an atmosphere where you feel seen, celebrated and invited into deeper intimacy with Him. From powerful times in worship and anointed teaching sessions to meaningful connection with other women – Awaken exists to leave you changed.
