UC National News - 17-23 Jul 2020 - Sewing masks for Victoria, COVID reflections by church leaders, our interfaith Hiroshima Day service and more
Assembly President Dr Deidre Palmer and the Moderators of the six Synods have been reflecting on the challenges to the Church over the last few months and their hopes for the future.
How COVID-19 has challenged and changed us as a church was also the topic of a webinar hosted by the Assembly Resourcing Unit and the Being a Multicultural Church Circle. Assembly National Consultant Rev. Dr Apwee Ting chaired a six-member panel discussion on how churches need to adapt and evolve.
The Assembly is partnering with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons to host an online interfaith service on 6 August, 75 years since the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Frontier Services is offering to install contactless donation points in Uniting churches across Australia. If your church or organisation would like a contactless donation point please call 1300 787 247 or email fsfundraising@frontierservices.org - and click through to this cute animation.
The Pacific Conference of Churches is looking for an Ecumenical Enabler for its Youth Engagement Programme. The role is for three years from August 2020. Applications close on 31 July.
Online registrations have re-opened for Dr Deidre Palmer's President's conference from 2-5 October with an updated program and hosted hub arrangements.
