A space to light candles for those we have lost
Remembrance Day 2008
A space to write a note to someone who has died
On Wednesday 3rd of September we set time aside to remember loved ones that we have lost. It was a time of special significance for those who attended. There was the opportunity to light a candle, write a note, sit and reflect – there were even some tissues if needed.
Next year in May we will have another Remembrance Day. The aim is to make space and time for this special remembering once in each semester.

This is the new logo for Revival
This is the new logo for Open
Well here are the two new logos for our evening worship at HSUC (High Street Uniting Church). There has also been some changes of time and format – and it is all really exciting!!!!
Revival is 1st and 3rd Sundays and is at 7pm at the Hight Street Uniting Church (16-18 High Street Frankston). Our 1st Sunday of the month will now be a bible study/reflection time with the 3rd Sunday of the month a time of praise and worship, guest speakers and other fun stuff.
Open is moving to 5pm to allow for those who would prefer to meet a little earlier and finish a little earlier. It is still at HSUC (details above) and will still be a time to question and explore, as the logo suggests, and open to all to come and share. We may even share a meal together. Come along and let’s find out!
