Welcome!
Today we welcome Peter and Rachel Carlson and their family to church. Rachel is Peter and Joan Woodward’s daughter. Peter and Joan were a part of this congregation some years ago. In our worship today, Peter and Rachel will share with us their work with Wycliff and their plans to travel to PNG.

Community Vegetable Gardens at GUCCC?
A number of people have independently suggested we might consider using the back part of our land for community vegetable gardens. Community Vegetable Gardens provide a secure space, fenced, with a shed, water, tools, where members of the community ‘rent’ a plot to grow their own vegies. This is particularly helpful for those who love to garden and live in units or town houses. The suggestion has been made that perhaps some of the produce could be given to those in need. Perhaps the shed could have an awning, with a table, providing a space for community friendship.
What do you think? Anyone who is interested in hearing about community gardens, how they work and if it could work for us is invited to an open conversation on the idea; Sunday 23rd. October at 4pm.
Transport Help
My name is Bella and I have just started going to the Gungahlin Uniting Church. I am having difficulty getting to church due to lack of public transport. If anyone can pick me up from my house on Sundays at 139 Kelleway Avenue in Nicholls I would appreciate it. I can be contacted at work on 6261 4240 or you could leave a message with Mike Voitl on 6242 4636.
Thank you.
Bella Morgan.

Participating in your church in 2012
Every year we ask every person how they would like to be involved in our church throughout the following year. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the church or if you have been here for years…. you are invited to think about how you would like to be involved. Grab a sheet, read through all the jobs that make this place happen, fill in the sheet, then pop it in the box in the foyer. Remember if you would like to know more… Just ask!
