Today at Gungahlin Uniting Church
Welcome to Gungahlin Uniting. Today we all remain in worship together as we share in communion and reflect on the word of God in creative ways. Everyone who is with us today is welcome to receive the bread and wine as an expression of your faith in Jesus Christ.

Bible Studies and Conversations at GUC on the Gospel of Luke.
Starting next Sunday evening at 5pm you are invited to come along to Bible Conversations on the Gospel of Luke. Luke is the Gospel that is the focus of our Advent readings and most of our reading throughout 2013 so this is a great opportunity for study, conversation and learning about this book. Everyone is welcome.

Today at Gungahlin Uniting Church
Welcome to everyone who is with us today as we come together to worship God. Everyone is welcome as we seek to be an expression of the breadth of God’s love for all humanity. At Gungahlin Uniting we usually share morning tea in the middle of worship. After this in the worship space, there is an activity for the Oasis group, (Primary aged), and a message from Proverbs and the Gospel of Mark.

Angel Tree Helper
For the past three Christmas periods, Gungahlin Uniting Church has been involved with Angel Tree, which organises a gift to be bought for a child of a prison inmate. The prison inmate indicates what they would like to give to their children, we buy it on their behalf and then we deliver it to the family in the week before Christmas. Often it is a grandmother or a single mother caring for the children, so last year we also organised a small gift of a Christmas cake and some soaps for them too.

Jenelle Martin who organised Angel Tree last year for our congregation is looking for a helper. This person would help wrap the gifts and deliver them. If you would be willing to help please speak with Jenelle (62554006).

Today our youth meet with the Minister in the first half of worship, then after Morning Tea, Oasis for our primary aged children meets in the courtyard rooms at the end of the passage. Younger children are part of the delight of our church and if you wish there are some activates for them near the big windows.

Mustard Seed Uniting Food Pantry
Last Sunday at our congregational meeting we were given a few different names and variations of those names as suggestions for our Food Pantry. The name that was strongly supported as a first choice or second choice was The Mustard Seed Uniting Food Pantry. From little things, big things grow!

Following worship today we have an important congregational meeting to which you are invited even if you just want to hear some of the news and information on our church. Congregational meetings at Gungahlin Uniting are about making important decisions through conversation and consensus. Today we will hear from our treasurer as we affirm the budget for 2012/13. We will also make some important decisions on the food pantry around our plans to go ahead, plans for the store and expenditure on this mission.
