Spring Getaway – 18th to 20th Nov 2011
For those attending next weekend’s camp, an email containing information about the camp will be sent out in the next couple of days. Please see Elizabeth if you do not receive this by Wednesday, or if you would prefer to receive a hard copy. If you have any questions in the interim, please ask Elizabeth (ph 6241 6343). Even though 40 from our congregation will be away, Pam Thompson will lead worship here at GUCCC at 9.30am next Sunday.
With Love to the World!
The latest edition of With Love to the World is available in the foyer from today. With Love to the World is a daily devotional published by the Uniting Church with readings, commentary, and prayer points. This edition covers Advent and Christmas through to the end of January. Copies are $4 which can be popped in the box on the foyer table.
The Journey… Advent Bible studies
Starting today at 6pm and running for five weeks, you are invited to come along to Advent Bible studies and reflection as we look at the Journey of Mary and Joseph preparing for the birth of Jesus the Christ. These studies use a DVD presented by Adam Hamilton (similar to our Lenten studies) which will take us to Israel as we consider the events leading to the birth of Jesus. There will also be a time of reflection, reading and conversation.
Open to anyone who would like to come along! If you are able, bring a plate of sandwiches to share as a starter to our evenings together. If you would like more information please speak with Rev. Mark.
