Today at Gungahlin Uniting Church!
Welcome to Worship today on the last Sunday of June! Today we have morning tea in the middle of worship followed by a message on the Gospel, Oasis for our primary aged children and our youth meet with their Mentors. Everyone is welcome as we gather for community and to share our faith.
Billabong
This Friday night, 6.30pm-8.30pm, Billabong meet at the GUCCC for pizza and DVD! Bring your friends, beanbags, nibbles, and a few $$ for pizza. The movie will be rated PG… and not animated!
Grow One
At Gungahlin Uniting Church, Grow One is what we call our giving Sunday where we consider our level of giving for the coming year and the way in which we would like to give. Thankyou to everyone who responded last Sunday in worship and for your generosity to the life of your church. If you did not get a chance to indicate your level of giving last Sunday then more pledge sheets and envelopes are available in the foyer. This can be done completely anonymously if you wish and your pledge sheet then placed inside the envelope and simply put in the offering bag as part of worship. If you indicated that you would like to give using dated envelopes, they are available from this week in the foyer.

Food Pantry conversation
Our second open Food Pantry conversation is TODAY, around 12 mid-day after worship. We will have Barbara Campbell and Kirsty Baker with us from Tuckerbox Holy Cross in Hackett. All food pantry’s operate in different ways and it will be up to us to shape and mould our work depending on need and resources etc., but it will be good to hear Barbara’s and Kristy’s story. We’ll have the conversation in the courtyard rooms and hope you can join with us.
