We worship as a community at Manning Uniting Church every Sunday at 9.30am. All are welcome.
Our Worship Service involves participation, both formally and informally. Music, singing, words and images are part of our worship.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of the month. The offer to share in the Lord's meal of bread and wine/juice is open to anyone "who loves the Lord and wants to love Jesus more".
Following the service everyone is invited for a cuppa and to enjoy conversation and community time in the auditorium.
All are welcome to worship with us this Sunday, 13th September, at 9.30am, led by the Worship Team on the 16th Sunday after Pentecost. The Reflection will be from Project Reconnect and presented by Rev Jon Humphries, Ministry leader at St Matthews UCA in Baulkham Hills NSW, asking the question: “Who are we to judge?”.
Based on the Matthew gospel reading, Rev Jon explains that we are called, even with our flaws and failings, to be in unity within our diversity. We need to relate with each other with grace, mercy and love.
The Congregation AGM will be held at 11.00am after our morning cuppa and time of connecting and chat.
Bible Reading: Romans 14:1-12 and Matthew 18:21-35
Project Reconnect is an initiative of The Hunter Presbytery of the Synod of NSW & ACT and the Uniting Church in Australia.
