Welcome to Gungahlin Uniting Church
Today in the life of the church throughout the world is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter where we recall the account of Jesus entering Jerusalem for the last time before his death on the cross. Welcome as we share in this time of worship together. At Gungahlin Uniting we usually have morning tea together in the middle of worship. Following morning tea there is Oasis for primary school aged children in the courtyard rooms at the end of the passage. Billabong youth all meet with their mentors. There is also an opportunity to reflect upon the Gospel for today, along with song and prayer, back in the main worship space.
Spring Getaway
Would you be interested in helping organise a Spring Getaway? 18 months ago we had a getaway in early November at Fitzroy Falls which was both relaxing and encouraging. Our getaways are designed for all ages, to be relaxing, creative, and fun. If you would be interested in helping organise, just pop your name on the sheet in the foyer.

Lenten Giving at Gungahlin Uniting
Each Lent we usually give up something, or raise some money for someone, but this Lent we are encouraging some simple giving. You are invited this Lent to particularly donate to our food supply. Each week over the past month people have come asking for food. As well, it will not be long before we begin to operate our food store. So when you are at the supermarket, put in an item or two for others, then bring your grocery items along to church! Here are a few ideas:
| * Pasta sauce | * Tins of stews | * Toilet paper |
| * Pasta | * Weetbix | * Tea/coffee |
| * Tins of fish/tuna | * Long life whole milk | * Tins of spaghetti or baked beans |
| * Sandwich spreads (Vegemite/Jams) | * Tins of fruit | |
