Julie Greig:
Over 130 people gathered in Merriwagga on the 28th June to celebrate the 80th anniversary for the Uniting Church. With the church packed the singing was "roof raising" and very inspiring, and the service was a holy time of worship. Some of those attending were previous ministers and pastors who had served the congregation over the years, and the locals were delighted to welcome them back, including a couple from Tasmania. Quite a number of locals and visitors took part in the service and communion was delivered by Geoff Flynn, President of the Riverina Presbytery.
After the service everyone adjourned to the Merriwagga Hall for a delicious lunch and a talk on the history of the church. All in all a beaut time of worship and sharing and catching up.
