Hi <<First Name>>,
 
We're facing an unprecedented, and rapidly shifting, public health and safety crisis. Like many of you, we've been keeping up to date with the COVID-19 pandemic (have you actually seen updates on anything else??), and changing plans accordingly to minimise risk, with health and safety for our communities at the forefront of our decision-making.

This means that many of our planned upcoming events will be moved to an online platform. We believe this gives us the opportunity to get creative, take action and build community in new and different ways.

So, we'll "see" you online for:
We'll continue to physically distance to "flatten the curve" and give our health system the best chance at responding to this crisis, and treating those in need of care - and while physically distanced, we'll build community and solidarity, and remain socially connected. 

So, continue to be good to each other. Support friends doing it tough, reach out to your neighbours, donate to Foodbanks and charities supporting those most vulnerable during this time.

Let's be "there" for each other - even if there means over the fence, or through a computer screen. Let's explore what Love in a Time of Coronavirus looks like.

For the sake of justice and peace,

Geoff and Kate.

The Uniting Church Synod of Western Australia acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on whose land our Synod office stands. We acknowledge their elders past and present, and their people.

At its 7th Assembly the Uniting Church formally entered into a relationship of Covenant with its Indigenous members, recognising and repenting for the Church’s complicity in the injustices perpetrated on Australia’s Indigenous community, and pledging to move forward with a shared future. Congress’ generous response to this statement, among other messages, called upon the broader Church to take up the mission of reconciliation.

The ongoing and continually renewing nature of the Covenant calls the Uniting Church to continually act to remove the systems and structures of discrimination and oppression in Australia.The Uniting Church works for just, inclusive and equal relationships, recognising the place of First Peoples in Australia.
