As the Uniting Church in Australia prepares to celebrate its 49th anniversary next Monday, 22 June, President Rev Charissa Suli has released a special video message reflecting on the Church’s journey and looking ahead to its Jubilee year in 2027.
Drawing on the image of a fala (Tongan woven mat), Rev Suli describes the Uniting Church as a community still being woven together through Christ’s love.
She gives thanks for the faith and vision of those who formed the Church in 1977, honours the Covenant relationship with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress, and encourages members to remain grounded in prayer, worship and service.
Looking toward the Church’s 50th anniversary, Rev Suli invites the Church to embrace the spirit of Jubilee as a time of renewal, reconciliation and justice.
The anniversary message is available to download and share in worship services, together with a PDF transcript. |
