UC National News - 20-27 Mar 2020 - Uniting in Adversity, COVID-19 Ministry Resources and more

Uniting in Adversity 
Doors may be closed but our hearts are still open, as the Uniting Church responds to the new normal during the global coronavirus pandemic. 
"Now, more than ever, as followers of Jesus, we are called to embody God’s love and compassion in our world," says President Dr Deidre Palmer.

COVID-19 Resources


From online church services to music resources and prayers, we've collated resources to assist you and your congregation in these unprecedented times.
 
The World Council of Churches calls on member churches to give the highest priority to doing whatever we can do to protect life.
Members of the Assembly Standing Committee met in person, probably for the last time in some time, in Sydney from 13-15 March.
Around 30 people who are engaged in justice work across the Uniting Church met via videoconference this week to bring together the work we do and focus on our national priorities.
PRESIDENT'S CONFERENCE 2020
This year's President's Conference will be held in Adelaide from 2-5 October, and explore expressions on the theme of "every member ministry". Registrations open, program now available.
