Uniting Church

Posted on August 15, 2013 by Alice

Sounds rather inviting, doesn’t it, the Uniting Church. I already feel included, and not a toe has stepped past its sandstone precipice. But I did stumble upon this beauty of a building constructed in honour of the Big Fella, by those who wished for the Sydney suburb of Maroubra to congregate under the Uniting Church’s commitment to love of God and neighbour alike…

In fact the Uniting Church was first formed in June 22, 1977, as a union of three churches: the Congregational Union of Australia, the Methodist Church of Australasia         and the Presbyterian Church of Australia. All welcome! Ad those who congregate know and love Jesus of Nazareth: he who announced the sovereign grace of God whereby the poor in spirit could receive God’s love.

I feel loved already.

About Alice

I run, I jump, I sing, I dance. Whether climbing trees, walls or stairs I do it at a clip. When out, my date is always Trusty Nikon (who never lets me down in the attire stakes; so smart in his black, with a pop of red!). Where does it lead, this love affair of mine? Well, its lead me to Dubai, via the matrimonial aisle, thanks to a gorgeous husband who whisked me from Coogee beach, Sydney into the Arabian Peninsula - to my new home, Dubai. I am a freelance writer and photographer and my wish is to snap away, to scribe and to share it all with you. Enjoy.
