Palm Sunday events for Refugees are taking place on Sunday 9th April all around the country. People from all walks of life, community organisations and faith groups gather each year to remember the plight of refugees and to call upon governments to act with greater responsibility and compassion.
This year’s gathering will be at 1pm, next Sunday 9th April, in Civic Square.
All are welcome to gather.

Rev. Mark Faulkner
Bible Readings
Ezekiel 37:1-14; Psalm 130
Romans 8:6-11; John 11:1-45
This Sunday….. daylight saving ends! So don’t forget to put your clocks back one hour and sleep in! And then…. I look forward to seeing you at 9.30am!
Jenny Batt will lead our first half all age worship while I meet for breakfast with Billabong. After morning tea Oasis will meet with Ngarie and Priscilla while the message this week is on both Ezekiel 37: 1-14 & John 11: 1-45.
At 6pm we have First Sunday Converse & Café. This is a time of reflection, listening to music, prayer and faith conversation. Following, for any who wish, we eat at a local restaurant.
Of course all are welcome both to come along and to invite others.
Peace.
Each year during the season of Lent, Uniting World (which is the part of Uniting Church that relates with our partner churches overseas) invites us to donate to their work. In their words ‘Your gift will build on the work of our global church partners as they share peace and good news, and overcome poverty.’
Oasis is our primary aged children’s group that meets most Sundays after morning tea. The group has a leader and also a “helper” each week. Leaders and helpers are rostered on term by term about so that they also get an opportunity to be in worship.
Girls’ and Boys’ Brigades are starting their fundraising for the year. Entertainment books are available for pre-order at www.entbook.com.au/24404h, or see Liz for more information.
