Mudgeeraba Uniting Church
FAIR-TRADE MARKET
SATURDAY 31ST AUGUST, 2024
The Mudgeeraba Uniting Church is hosting a FAIR-TRADE MARKET ON SATURDAY 31ST
AUGUST, 2024 from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm. The day before Fathers’ Day.
The purpose of this market is to bring together stallholders who are committed to providing us
with goods which have been manufactured so that the producers received a fair wage and
worked in healthy conditions.
We hear much about the exploitation of workers, often school students trying to earn some
dollars to make life more comfortable. If this happens in our own country where there are rules
governing such mistreatment, imagine what it is like in society where no such rules exist.
On the day stallholders will be selling products from Asia, Africa, Central and Southern America
as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people in Australia. Some of the products are from
Palestine which benefit Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities.
As well as assisting to lift people above the poverty line, Fair Trade is a way of educating us
about the difference Fair Trade purchases can make in the lives of people in distant
communities.
BAPTISM – Sunday 18th August
Dominic is to be baptised next Sunday 18th August at Thrower House at 11.30am.

Blue Care Grief, Loss and Dementia Program
The unique experience of caring for someone who has dementia, is that feelings of grief and
loss may be experienced while the person is still with you. This grief, however, can change over time.
This is referred to as ambiguous loss. Carers also experience something called
disenfranchised grief, a grief experience that is not recognised, or understood by self or others.
Aim of the program
• To provide carers with an understanding of dementia, and the grief and loss relating to dementia.
• Validate feelings within that process and promote self-care and resilience strategies.
• Suitable for family members/primary carers/support person of a person living with dementia.
The Group
The group meets regularly, with trained facilitators, to provide emotional, social and practical
support for group members. This is a structured program of 2.5 hours per week over 5 weeks.
Participants really benefit from sharing their experiences in the safety of a small group.
There is also another Grief and Loss 8-week program starting at Robina New Life on July 22,
which might be of interest to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
*Both courses are free
