Face-to-Face Worship services
Due to changes in government regulations we are now able to resume face-to-face worship. There are limits to our numbers. For June this will be 50, rising to 76 in July. We won’t be singing or taking morning tea and there will be sanitiser and all the other precautions that you are probably familiar with.
For those who don’t feel able to return, or who are unable to be there we will still be streaming the service on our Facebook page from 9.00am. It’s still there later if that helps! (https://www.facebook.com/campbelltownunitingchurch/). You’ll need to have a Facebook account, and like or follow us to be able to get it.
Giving
Although we are able to worship face-to-face and bring our offerings, we’d encourage the continuing use of direct debit. Details below.
BSB 634634
Account Number 100014276
Westpac – Financial Services.
The church office will be open on Friday mornings until further notice.
What we do ecologically
https://www.insights.uca.org.au/we-cant-change-the-world-but-we-can-do-a-little-bit-towards-it/
A couple of years ago, prompted by the War on Waste program on the ABC, some of us got together to talk about why we are interested in our responsibility for the environment as Christians and as concerned individuals. We know that we reflect a wider concern within our congregation. Our church life profile from the recent survey tells us that there is not one of us who thinks that, as Christians, we do not have a responsibility to care for the environment. While 74% of us said we are active, 26% said that they were not.
Our conversation was wide ranging and lively. We have so many ideas. Each of us has taken away one thing to research for the next meeting. The aim is to help each member of the congregation find ways that we can act to lessen the impact our lifestyle has on the environment. We will also be looking at ways that Campbelltown Uniting can take steps to recycle and make well informed purchases.
