At the inauguration of the Uniting Church in Australia on 22 June 1977, five congregations formed the Wembley-Floreat Park Parish. They were the four Methodist congregations (Wembley, ‘Forum’ of Floreat, Wembley Downs and West Leederville) plus the Floreat Park Presbyterian Church, ‘All Saints’.
On 1 July 1988, the Presbytery of Perth agreed to a re-grouping of the parishes in the area and the new Parish of Floreat Park was inaugurated, with the two congregations of ‘All Saints’ in Peebles Road and the ‘Forum’ on the corner of Brookdale Street (now Kirkdale Avenue) and Berkeley Crescent becoming one congregation.
There are therefore two roots – Presbyterian and Methodist – in our origin and, in both cases, the beginnings were in Sunday Schools. After much prayer and deliberation the buildings in Peebles Road and the church in Berkeley Crescent were demolished. The decommissioning service was held on Friday 13 August, 1993. The Peebles Road property was sold and building began on the new church complex in Berkeley Crescent.
In May 1995, the All Saints Floreat Uniting Church was officially opened by Moderator, Lillian Hadley on the site of the Forum Uniting Church in Berkeley Crescent Floreat.
A caring community is a happy community, especially when everyone shares in the responsibility of loving their neighbours. Caring is a team effort. Our Care Group aims to work with our Minister in caring for the people of our congregation and meets once a month to discuss any pastoral concerns and to find effective ways of communicating and bringing the congregation together in love and care for each other.
A system has been set up where Elders and Carers are allocated a number of families in our congregation to take ‘under their wing’ to keep in touch regularly and offer friendship and a listening ear. In addition, another group looks after visitation of elderly folk.
A ‘List of Attendees’ is kept and is updated every month to ensure that new people are included and allocated a Carer. A number of families now receive the Monthly News & Notes bulletin electronically but some people can receive a hardcopy version.
‘Welcomers’ play an important role in greeting new people at the door before the church service and ensure they receive a Visitors’ Card and an Information Leaflet of our activities. Once a month a ‘Getting to Know You’ profile (with photo) introduces a new family to the congregation. The Care Group also looks after the smooth running of relational groups such as the Friendship, Thursday Fellowship, Craft and Prayer Chain. Visiting the sick is important and meals are prepared in emergencies.
