NOTICES

THRIVING IN THIS LAND:

We are joining together as a church to explore this 3-part series together, beginning this Sunday! Our idea is that we will have our church service and morning tea time as usual, and then around midday gather together and work through this series for everyone that wants to.

BYO lunch to eat as we talk, listen and share our thoughts. As the introduction to the series says: "We’ll engage with theology, and hear from experts and people on the ground...to explore some of the big issues of our time and consider how God is calling us to respond." We will be holding the 3 sessions on the last Sunday we meet together at JUC for worship in each of the next 3 months - September 27 (this coming Sunday), October 25, & November 22 (November 29 is a HUB service). BYO lunch as mentioned and everyone is welcome to come and share your thoughts and ideas.
