HOLIDAY CLUB<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What an amazing time we had for the 4 days of Holiday Kids Club at the Church in January! We played games, sang songs, did crafts, and generally ran around having a great time. There was also a daily puppet show and a devotional story, all around the theme “Treasure in heaven”. Our thanks to all the helpers who came along to make this happen – see the photo of the helpers (and add Margaret Thompson, who was working on the Friday when we took the photo). Well done, Goulburn Uniting, we have taken a significant step forward!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHRISTMAS DAY LUNCH<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

What a Gift of a Day!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our Goulburn Uniting Christmas Lunch<\/strong> was a beautiful expression of compassion, generosity, and community. Together, we shared food, conversation, laughter, and dignity with those in our city who are feeling lonely or doing it tough this Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We give heartfelt thanks to the local churches, community groups, businesses, and individuals<\/strong> whose generous donations of food, gifts, time, and resources made the day possible. This was truly a shared effort, and it showed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A special thank you to Councillor Daniel Strickland<\/strong>, who didn\u2019t just drop by but rolled up his sleeves \u2014 serving lunch, washing dishes, and helping with the pack-up. Your presence and practical support meant a great deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND there was a Christmas Tree with gifts so that everyone could take something home with them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasions like this remind us of the power of community
when we choose kindness, hospitality, and care.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
