​Our Motto:


"Proclaiming Christ,
​serving the community
with love"

Our Mission:
“To preach the good news of Christ and to be a tangible, growing expression of God's acts of love through relationships and partnerships within the congregation and the community.”

Worship
We have resumed in-person worship! 
​All the usual requirements will be in place as before. In addition, please bring and wear a mask.
We have a QR Code and encourage everybody to download the Service NSW app.
Our greeters will be asking everybody if they have been out of the area during the previous 14 days and following up if the answer is "yes." 
However, we also offer worship via Zoom.  If you wish to join our Zoom service, please email secretary@berryuniting.org for an invitation.
​The service on the first Sunday of the month is usually a Communion Service.

Send your support for
​the Statement from the Heart

The NSW/ACT Synod  has launched an advocacy initiative that allows people to send an email to Members of Parliament, seeking their support in achieving the aspirations of First Peoples as embodied in the Statement from the Heart.  You can join this action simply by clicking this link.
It will take you an automatically generated email which we invite you to read and affirm by sending to an MP in your name.
 
In sending this email you are asking the NSW and ACT Governments to establish a process of agreement-making with First Nations, and truth-telling about the history of Australia’s First Peoples.  

​You are also asking the Commonwealth Government to implement a First Nations Voice, enshrined in the Constitution, to empower First Peoples to have a greater say in policy and legislation, improving autonomy and prosperity.
 
Another way to join the call for a Voice to Parliament is to add your name to the Uluru Statement Canvas. To do this click here to visit fromthe heart.com.au
