WIDER MISSION
Supporting the work of Uniting Church Australia and other organisations
It is better to light a candle than blame the darkness.
SHARE – HELPING THOSE WHO NEED A HELPING HAND
The people of the Echuca Moama Uniting Church provide a lunch program most weeks of the year. This is made possible through the ministry of the SHARE program. Community-based organisations and some businesses generously support this important ministry through donations and volunteer support.
Lunch helps women and men who are struggling to raise families, people who are unemployed, lonely or with some of the other difficulties that people of today face. Those who can, give a gold coin donation for their meal.
A team of volunteers provide appetizing food as well as a friendly face and an encouraging word. Meals are served except on public holidays and a short break after Christmas & New Year. Enter through the Pakenham Street entrance (next to Marketplace Crafts Shop) of the Church.
If you would like to volunteer to assist with this program, please call in and speak to someone in the church office.
The Uniting Church of Australia
Our Church belongs to the Uniting Church in Australia with its wide-ranging ministries throughout Australia in aged care, community service, the outback (Frontier Services) and Chaplaincy in schools, just to name a few.
