January 15, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Our Social.Justice.Church January service will be a time to observe a Day of Mourning.
On the Sunday before (or close to) 26 January, all Uniting Church in Australia congregations are invited to hold worship services to reflect upon and lament the effect of the invasion and colonisation of this nation upon First Peoples.
We are pleased to be joined by Rev Mitchell Garlett in a Welcome to Country. Mitchell is a Nyungar man and Uniting Church minister.
Our speaker will be Mark Brisbane who will offer a reflection on the theme.
“In marking the Day of Mourning, we live into our covenant relationship to stand together with, and listen to, the wisdom of First Nations people in their struggle for justice. We affirm the sovereignty of First Peoples and honour their culture and their connection to country. ” UAICC Interim National Chairperson Rev Mark Kickett and UCA President Rev Sharon Hollis
Join us at 5pm on Sunday 15th January at Wesley Church in the city. Everybody welcome!
