A very significant event in the life of Manning Uniting Church will occur with the induction service of Rev Nich Cole as Minister of MUC, the first full-time Minister of this church since 2017.

It is a delight to invite you to celebrate the Induction of the Rev Nich Cole as our new minister.

The induction will take the form of a morning service led by the Northern Presbytery at 11.00am on Saturday 14th November in the Manning UC, 29 Albert Street, Taree. The service will be followed by a light lunch.

The service will be conducted by the new Northern Presbytery of the Uniting Church in NSW/ACT, and the preacher will be Rev Stu Cameron, CEO and Superintendent of Wesley Mission.

We hope you will join us and take the opportunity to meet Nich and his wife Sam and their family.  The service is open to anyone who would like to attend.

The employment of Rev Nich for a period of five years has been made possible by a special Synod Growth Grant and the financial and spiritual support of Wesley Mission.

Rev Nich Cole will be leading the 9.30am Worship service at Manning Uniting Church on Sunday, 15th November. All are welcome.

 

This week we explore what things we need for this new season and what things we need to consider leaving in the old season.

We explore with Solomon what it means to have change and where God is with us as we start a new season of ministry and mission together here in the Manning region. 

 

Bible Reading:  Ecclesiastes 3:1–11

 

Afterwards we gather for a time of connecting and chat over a cuppa in the auditorium. New people and visitors are most welcome to join us.
