Uniting Church Birthday
On Sunday 26th June in worship we will remember the Inauguration of the Uniting Church in Australia on 22nd June 1977 – thirty–nine years ago! We will also celebrate at morning tea time.

World Environment Day
5th June is World Environment Day, when people all over the world focus their attention on how we can better care for the planet.
The UCA Assembly agency Uniting Justice has prepared a World Environment Day resource that has gathered together reflections from Indigenous, Asian and Pacific perspectives and stories from around the Uniting Church. This aims to inspire us to meet the challenge of this year's theme: "Together for a World Made Whole". Look for it on www.unitingjustice.org.au
