All responses will be kept in confidence 

Paper surveys are available at the church, alternatively you can complete it as a Word doc (attached) and email it Rev Allison – minister.toronto@nswact.uca.org.au

Congregation to pray for this week

Raymond Terrace Uniting Church is one of the five congregations in the Grahamstown Congregation. We are a welcoming group of about 20, meeting each Sunday at 9am. Every month we have Sunday lunch after the service. A Discipleship Share & Care group meets weekly to discuss the upcoming lectionary readings. We join with our other Grahamstown centres for the monthly GrUnCh21 social gatherings, on the 21st of each month. This is an opportunity for all Grahamstown folk to come together in a social and casual setting in different localities

PRAYER

We pray for Raymond Terrace Uniting Church and the Grahamstown Multi-centre Congregation for guidance in continuing to seek ways to appreciate the similarities and value the differences that build a diverse and responsive church, locally and beyond. Amen.
