2004 –2005Annual Report

Uniting Church Synod of South Australia

Uniting Church . . . there when it counts

An innovative, growing church An innovative, growing church An innovative, growing church An innovativeGreeting

The past year has been one full of contrasts.

In December 2004, a Tsunami swept through Southern Asia and just over two weekslater, tragedy struck closer to home with fires devastating the Eyre Peninsula. TheChurch responded to both of those events with compassion and practical assistance.The SA Synod, through UC Invest, gave $500,000 to Tsunami relief. We also released$58,000 to support victims of the Eyre fires.

While the pain of those events is unimaginable for most of us, we have been part ofsharing the love of Christ through those donations and the ministry of individuals whoserved on behalf of the Uniting Church.

The SA Synod also provided a pivotal point in the faith journey of many young peoplewhen it hosted the National Christian Youth Convention in Adelaide in January.

The 2004-05 Annual Report illustrates these and many other stories. These stories areyour stories. Not only because church members donated over $1 million towards theUniting Church’s ministry last year, but because these stories are interwoven with yourown unique stories of ministry and lives changed in your own local area.

May the stories inspire all of us to discover afresh how God is calling us as individualsand faith communities to share the love of Jesus Christ.

Grace and Peace

The television series Big Brother, has inspired acongregation to “lock up” some of their churchmembers for two weeks.

Goolwa Uniting Church is a vibrant congregationwith a service called DriveTime on Wednesdaynights.

DriveTime provides an alternative time and forumfor exploring faith.

“It is geared towards people who aren’t churchgoers and those looking for an alternative,”explains Associate Pastor, Deb Sorenson.

The service, which started in May, has 40 – 60

people attending. It starts with coffee andconcludes with a meal.

“We do things differently – there’s drama, multi-media – it is always interactive.”

Perhaps “different” is best illustrated by thedecision to send four housemates to a secretlocation in Goolwa. The housemates took on thechallenge of living “kingdom principles”. Notonly did they have to deal with each other and“intruders” but they also undertook communityprojects. And just like the television show, theywere on display with live web cam and footageshown during DriveTime.

“Big Brother” comes to church

“For others, journeying with asylum seekers hasled to much cross-cultural learning.“

Changing face of ministry

“No matter the congregation – the issues are thesame. We’re all asking the question ‘what does itmean to be inclusive?’ And we’re all discoveringthat people from other cultures have a deep faithand much to teach us.”

More than 80 people from many parts of Africa worship atAdelaide West Uniting Church. The Ecumenical LeadershipCommittee holds worship services fortnightly with specialevent services filling the church to capacity.

Youth convention … a life changer!Since NCYC (National Christian YouthConvention) was first held 50 years ago, it hasinspired and challenged young people fromacross the country in their faith journey.

Around 15% of participants at the conventionheld in Adelaide in January were Indigenous.

With people coming from as far away as ElchoIsland, Townsville, and the APY Lands - includinglarge numbers from Pukatja (Ernabella) andAmata - it was the largest group of Aboriginalparticipants on record.

“It was awesome” said NCYC Bible Study leader,Rev Hohaia Matthews. Hohaia and the Port

Augusta community played a significant role withtheir own music band and Indigenous hospitalityteam. Denise Champion also led an electivearound a campfire.

Congress greatly appreciated the support ofindividuals, churches, Community Benefit SA andthe Morialta Trust in assisting Indigenousdelegates to attend the convention.

NCYC is just one example of the church’scommitment to building bridges betweenAboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.

Learning: Lifelongand StatewideSteph and Jan are proof that no matter how oldyou are or where your passion for ministry lies –there’s plenty of opportunity to learn.

Both are Flinders University students at Parkin-Wesley College. Jan has just completed herMaster of Theological Studies and Steph is doinga Bachelor of Theology (Honours) in OldTestament.

The College faculty are committed to helpingpeople grow in faith at every stage of life. Theyknow that formal, on-campus study is not foreveryone.

Some of the college’s most popular offeringshave been intensives – like the children’s storytelling workshop with authors Mem Fox andChristobel Mattingley – or workshops held at therequest of local churches – with topics rangingfrom pastoral care to worship leading.

Distance is also no barrier to education with anincreasing number of training events held in ruralareas, and over 20 students undertaking theirstudies by distance mode.

Perhaps the question for all of us is “what wouldI like to learn?”
