Special services will include a service celebrating the life of St Columba on the 15th June and John Brentnall's last official service with us on the 22nd June. More details are here. 6.30pm Evening GatheringDuring June we'll be looking at "War and Peace", and in July we'll be celebrating a dedication and baptism, so we'll look at the theme of sacraments. More details are here. Crazy Hair NightThe Crazy Hair night raised a little over $3000 for the Leukemia Foundation. Pictures are in the gallery. Informal GatheringThe Informal Gathering will no longer be meeting regularly on a Sunday morning. Details and past services here. Lent EventKeiraview Uniting Church is proud to be able to support LENT EVENT. The challenge is to give up something non essential (coffee, muffins, beer etc) and to donate the money saved to Lent Event. That money is then used for projects in South India, Zambia, West Timor, PNG and Sudan. Look at their web site for more details. Carols on the Lawn Lovely weather, good attendance, and relaxed singing. A good evening! Photos are now in the gallery.
From the Informal Gathering Dear fellow Christians of Keiraview, from you fellow Christians int he Informal Service as we struggle together to live out God's Word. We are encouraged by your faithfulness and your commitment to God and to each other.
As we journey into Advent we recognise that we are imprisoned by the materialism and wealth of our society which makes it hard to proclaim the good news of Christmas with our words and our lives.
We want to remind you and ourselves that Jesus was born at Christmas without any of the trappings that we associate with Christmas. In the ordinary event of a child's birth there was for us all an extraordinary message. God came down to live among us in vulnerability.
So this Christmas may we remember those in our world who are vulnerable and find practical ways of helping them.
Let us make room to experience the wonderful love of God this Christmas.
Grace and Peace to you all. Kids Fun Day  The Kids Fun Day for all children aged between 4 and year 4 was held on Oct 12th and a great day was had by all. With 70+ children moving from play to crafts to a "God spot" to morning tea, followed of course by a BBQ lunch with families, we were pleased to have the time with the children and that all went smoothly. Thanks very much to the faithful workers and many helpers we had today which made the day possible. Some more pictures are available in the Gallery . OP SHOP Ball
On Saturday 10th November we shall be holding an Op Shop ball. What does this mean? It means you get to go "Op-shopping" to find something interesting to wear and come to a fundraiser ball for TEAR. Our goal is to buy a WELL for a community in either Afghanistan, India or Sudan. This will provide much needed drinking water and save some women and children hours of walking to fetch it. It will include dinner and music, as well as prizes for those snazzy dressers. More information and ticket details on the news page! Church PicnicA great time was had by all those who attending.
