That on 21 June 2009, when this congregation was still meeting at Ngunnawal Primary School, our special guest preacher for Refugee Sunday was the Rev Dr Jonathan Barker? At the time he was described as a person who had experience of working with refugees in detention centres in South Australia and was instrumental at Pilgrim Uniting Church, Adelaide, in setting up a ‘Circle of Friends’ who visited Baxter Detention Centre and supported many refugees on release.

Calling a new minister: The Joint Nominating Committee, which was elected by the GUC congregation to seek a new minister, has met several times. They have already met with one person for a conversation and have an appointment to meet a second person. When there are signs of a possible good match between a minister and GUC, there will be further conversations with that person. In time, a name will be brought to the congregation for confirmation. While this work is going on, we are grateful to have the ministry of Rev Dr Jonathan Barker over the next few months.
