Oasis is our primary aged children’s group which meets following morning tea each Sunday during school term time. Each year we need two leaders; one for terms 1 & 3 and one for terms 2 & 4. Ngaire Hosking is our leader for this term and then term 3, but we still need a leader for terms 2 & 4. All the material is provided and we see this as an important part of our church life. If you would like to discuss being a leader please see Mark.

Next Sunday First Sunday Converse and Café is on. A time of alternative worship and reflection with music, faith conversation & prayer. Beginning at 6pm, and then for any who would like we share a meal at a local café afterwards. All are welcome to this relaxed gathering.

The latest edition of With Love to the World is out. With Love to the World is a short daily devotional guide published by the Uniting Church. Each day has a brief reading, a reflection and some prayer guidance. If you would like a copy they are available in the foyer. If you are able to make a donation of $4 then feel free, but if you simply want to take a copy you are welcome.

Members of the congregation are being asked to consider supporting this opportunity by making a small weekly donation if you feel able.
