Three of our congregations Leighmoor,, Coatesville and Murrumbeena Uniting Churches (aka LCM) first combined worship service on Sunday 7 May.
The LCM churches share in worship twice a year and are at a different worship space each time. Our combined service this time was held at Murrumbeena Uniting
where some 90 members across the 3 congregations gathered to share communion and to hear what each church is exploring in their local community.
We also had members from all 3 congregations join together to be our band for the day – the music was great!
Our theme for the service was ‘Go Boldly’ as we explored the first chapter of Romans. This theme gave us the opportunity of sharing with each other the different aspects of missional life within the congregations – our current activities as well as those
hoped for and dreamed about.
Murrumbeena UC had their recently appointed Community Development Worker (Ann van Leerdam) share some of her hope for the role as she connects with the community and the congregational members.
Coatesville UC spoke of their emergency relief program, aiming to provide a Free Food pantry, their connections with the Food Bank organisation, their fund-raising BBQ and the plan to create a street library.
