Palm Sunday

You're invited to journey with us to Jerusalem this year, as we commence Holy Week and Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.

This year we will follow the Lukan text through Holy Week and culminating on 8th April - with the Road to Emmaus.

Our Palm Sunday Service picks up the theme of Jesus declaration to the Pharisees "if they were silent, the rocks would cry out".

On Palm Sunday we will attempt to situate ourselves in that scene - the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem, and the political and revolutionary expectations of a crowd shouting out Hosanna to the King. We will look at some of the individuals who had experienced Jesus and their response to him and see if we can't find ourselves there.

These are all age worship services for people of all ages and stages of faith. There will be participatory elements for all at both our 8am and 9:30 services.

Church Camp 2024

In 2024 Emmanuel is committed to pursuing Christlike growth - one of our core values. This year we want to see people continue grow in faith and maturity as Eph 4:13 says.

In two months from now, Emmanuel Uniting Church will be gathering people together to kick-start this growth journey through a church camp.

This will be an intentional time for us to withdraw from our normal routine and spend time with each other, learning and growing together as we are blessed by the teaching ministry of Rev. Dr. Andrew Prince. We will also be spending time together, building relationships with each other and enjoying something of God’s good creation.

Our camp location will be familiar to many of our Brigades families, as we utilise the Boys Brigade site, Camp Glengarry.

https://bbqld.org.au/glengarry-education-centre/

To keep costs to a minimum we have elected to self-cater. Glengarry has large commercial style kitchen facilities where you can use their walk-in fridge; gas stove tops and ovens, microwaves and kitchen utensils. Meal times are set as part of our program and we have tried to ensure they are at ‘family friendly’ periods of the day. Please have a look a the glengarry website for information about the kitchen facilities onsite.

People can choose to stay in cabins or byo tent / camper / caravan and camp onsite.

Registration for camp is now open. To register PLEASE attempt to do so through the online registration form.
