Bathurst Uniting Church will be holding a number of activities during this season of Lent leading up to Easter.
Target Christmas Appeal
Each Year Target and Uniting Care partner together to help raise money and gifts during the Christmas period for disadvantaged people across Australia. They have collected over 2.1million gifts in the last 25 years, and have raised in excess of $2 million dollars in the last 2 years alone.
For those who headed into a Target store over the Christmas period, you would have noticed a Christmas tree near to the front of the store with gifts under the tree and gift cards attached to the tree. The main aim is to make Christmas more special for the thousands of Australians, who for various reasons are unable to celebrate Christmas.
What is Advent?
Advent (from the Latin adventus) means ‘coming’ or ‘coming to’. The season of Advent is designed to help us pause in the midst of our frantic business and end of year exhaustion to remember afresh a timeless truth: God comes to us, and to our world.
Advent & Christmas services
This year Bathurst Uniting will be holding a number of services during Advent leading up until Christmas.
We welcome all to come and join in at these services to celebrate this coming Christmas.
The Church in Lego form
One of our bright young KUCA children made this fantastic replica of Bathurst Uniting Church and the 1837 Hall out of Lego for the Kids of Praise service this morning.
