Hi all, Well, we tried out live streaming of worship for the first time this week, and, apart from a few technical difficulties, it seemed to go well. For those who were unable to join us live, you can still watch the recording of the whole service, or just the message on our Worship Recordings Page. This evening we have also launched…
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Hopefully you have already heard from your Pastoral Partner in the last day or so, but I am writing to confirm that Church Council met on Friday and on the very strong recommendation of both Presbytery and Synod, has agreed to immediately suspend all worship services and public gatherings on church property, including Adult Fellowship, Lenten…
Epiphany (Jan-Feb) 2018 At Crookwell Uniting Church, our worship follows a pattern of readings called the Revised Common Lectionary. This is a three year cycle of readings which allows us to hear a broad variety of Scripture.

I have had a few members of the congregation request that I record my sermons for those who like to relisten to ponder in their own time. Recording sermons also makes sense in a multicentre congregation, where not every location has a service every week. As such, I started trialling recording my sermon today. This has been interesting for a few reasons.…
Winter has well and truly arrived after our overnight freezes last weekend. It seems like perfect weather to wrap yourself up in a blanket in front of the television and hibernate until the summer returns. If we were in the Northern Hemisphere however, winter would be a really important time as churches, families and communities got ready to celebrate Christmas. In fact,…
