Elanora Uniting Church – “The Church in the Pines”

Welcome. We meet and serve God on the traditional land of the Yugambeh Nation and pay respects to the elders and leaders past, present and emerging. As the first peoples have cared for this land, this congregation continue to be a caring community with Christ. So we extend our care to you.

Whether you are looking for a new church home, curious about the Christian faith or would like to connect socially, you are welcome here. Feel free to look around the website and contact any of the necessary people to find out more. We look forward to meeting you.

Our Community Pantry is dependent on the collection of goods from
Brisbane approximately once a month. Currently Kerri and Andrew are doing this but would
love some help to share that responsibility. If one more person or couple could put their hand
up for this, it would involve a trip once every 2 months. Obviously, if more people could be on
the roster, trips would be less frequent. If this is an area of service that you may be able to
fill, give Andrew or Kerri a call. Andrew 0401 958 321 Kerri 0403 044 037

Leisuretime are still looking for an enthusiastic person to join their team
in the role of wardrobe mistress in charge of their popular “Boutique”
which operates each Wednesday morning at the beginning of
Leisuretime. Over the years, the Boutique has not only been a fun way
to supplement our own wardrobes at minimal cost it has also been a
vital means of raising money for Chaplaincy, Cancer Support Group,
Frontier Services, Flying Doctor and Compassion children.
If this sounds like you, call June Freiberg on 5520 2412 or have a chat
to her at Leisuretime.
