Greetings –
The theme for first Network Gathering for 2012 on Thursday 23rd February at Modbury is Sharing Resources: Church and Community. You are invited to bring a group from your congregation to hear Modbury and Para Vista congregations’ stories on this theme, enjoy their hospitality, share your own stories, renew ‘old’ acquaintances and make new connections. RSVP to me (email: Christine Secombe) by Sunday evening 19th February 2012.
The induction of a Minister into the life of a congregation is an exciting moment and Christ Church Wayville have invited us to share with them in welcoming Rev Nicholas Rundle into their congregation. It will be lovely to see you at Nicholas’s induction at 7.30 pm on Friday 10th February.
Also available for download (see below) is a registration form for the Workshop for Chairs and Secretaries of Church Councils and Congregations to be held at Scots Church Adelaide on Saturday morning 11th February. Thank you to those who have already registered. If you have not yet registered, I look forward to hearing from you soon – I’m happy with an email advice if that is more convenient than using the registration form.
Kind regards
Christine Secombe

What is the UMN?
Members from nineteen Uniting Church congregations meet about four times a year at different participating churches around Adelaide encouraging each other in ministry and mission, sharing resources and providing mutual support.
The participating churches are all of a similar size in their communities and located in prominent shopping precincts. The Urban Mission Network provides an opportunity to support each other and education on topics that will help us grow. It is important to find out what the other congregations are doing and offers the chance to share resources. It is organised to replace presbytery’s.
