MtE Update – MM DD 2017

Friends,

the latest MtE Update!

  1. TONIGHT: Church of All Nations is sponsoring a “Conversations that make a difference” series, the first event of which will feature Andrew West (ABC Radio National), and Janet McCalman (UniMelb) discussing the place of religion in public discussions. See here for more info.
  2. Our next study series begins in a few weeks – on Wed August 9 (Nth Melb) and Fri August 11 (Hawthorn), and there may yet be another group. These groups are a great opportunity to spend some time together thinking about Christian faith and practice. First you read and then you join to discuss. We learn heaps together in the groups! The next book – “Migrations of the Holy” – is a study in “the political meaning of the church, and looks into the relationship between the church and contemporary Western culture. You can read more about the book in a brief account by the author here. Plan to join one of the groups if you can!
  3. There will be a congregational meeting following worship on Sunday August 6; the main business will be considering a document on ministry and ministry focuses for the next 18 months.
  4. The latest Presbytery news (July 17) is here
  5. The August Pilgrim College News is here.Brunswick UCA is presenting a speaker next week on Peacemaking in the Modern World; details are here.
  6. For those interested in some background reading to the readings for this Sunday, see the links here. We are presently hearing the Series II OT readings on Sunday.
