Greetings to the Gungahlin Uniting community
Our weekly series featuring THE GREAT ESCAPE is nearing the end. Today’s story of the golden calf reminds us how hard it can be to wait for answers when we are not sure where things are going. The temptation is to place all our trust in material securities and forget that we do not live “by bread alone.”
The Annual General Meeting for Gungahlin Uniting Church will take place after worship on Sunday 5th November.
This year we are electing up to seven new members for Church Council. It is up to everyone in the congregation to discern who you would like to nominate for Church Council – please read the information on the nomination forms and return your forms into the pink box in the church foyer TODAY!
Sunday 22nd October.
A Congregational Meeting will be held following worship next Sunday. The Joint Nominating Committee (JNC) will be recommending to the congregation that a Call be issued to a particular person as the new minister for Gungahlin Uniting Church.
Voting will take place by private ballot.
Inviting you to think about our own church community the wider church, the world!
The famous Ten Commandments are not just rules for “right” behaviour. They express the two primary commands: to love God and our neighbour. They are the visible expression of a new bond (i.e. covenant) between the one-real-compassionate God and those who have been set free from slavery. The prelude to the Ten Commands is “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery ….” therefore….live as those who have a similar compassion.
