Today at Gungahlin Uniting Church
Welcome to everyone who is with us for worship today; may it be a time of faithful encouragement. At Gungahlin Uniting we usually share morning tea together in the middle of worship. Today our youth meet with the Minister in the first half of worship, then after Morning Tea, Oasis for our primary aged children meets in the courtyard rooms at the end of the passage. Younger children are part of the delight of our church and if you wish there are some activates for them near the big windows.

Today – Congregational Meeting
Following worship today we have an important congregational meeting to which you are invited even if you just want to hear some of the news and information on our church. Congregational meetings at Gungahlin Uniting are about making important decisions through conversation and consensus. Today we will hear from our treasurer as we affirm the budget for 2012/13. We will also make some important decisions on the food pantry around our plans to go ahead, plans for the store and expenditure on this mission.
