Rev Noel Williams (NSW) and James Nevien (Admin officer, Vic) came from Frontier Services to share that mission with the joint AireysInlet-Bellbrae-Torquay UCs today. We were blessed with Noel's strong message: “I am“ and all that it encourages. Musos Keith Bremner and Christa Carey joined Rev Noel in leading some old favourites plus 2 new hymns. Our thanks to Rev David Thompson for initiating and Carey and others for organising this. Our thanks also to the AV and outdoor lunch teams from across the congregations.

Artificial intelligence will affect all our lives. How might it change the way we live, work, learn and connect with one another? Commentator, Anna Goldsworthy, argues that AI is a rupture that makes us confront what it is to be human. As it learns human ways, AI invites us to consider what is irreplaceable in us.
Come and join our guided conversation at the Aireys Inlet Community Hall on September 20th at 4.00pm.
The event is free but bookings on Trybooking are essential. https://www.trybooking.com/DONRH

Today, 25 August, is AUSTRALIAN SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS' RECOGNITION DAY. From the 1860s people from the Pacific Islands were brought to Australia to work on farms. Some were brought to Australia against their will. Others were not aware of what the working conditions would be like. Many were deported after federation, when the White Australia policy began.
Why do you think Australian farms were looking for cheap labor in the 1860s? Thanks to Booth of Monash Uniting Church for this info.

Di**le is a special place with its tourism and fishing industry, St Mary’s Catholic Church, Beehive stone huts that are over 2000 years old and have been used by monks. The music is traditional, reflective and heartfelt. There’s some beautiful 1920’s stained glass windows in the art centre I’m not allowed to share online. Let me know if you want to see them.
