Pastoral Message and Prayer following TC Narelle

A pastoral message and prayer from Uniting Church WA Moderator Rev David Jackson following the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Narelle.

Tropical Cyclone Narelle crossed the Western Australian coast near Exmouth on Friday. The cyclone hovered around Exmouth for 6-8 hours causing widespread damage to structures and bringing a lot of rain in its wake.

The WA Synod Disaster Relief and Community Recovery Working Group has reached out to our congregations in the regions to offer support if required. 

Our Moderator Rev David Jackson has offered a prayer which he invites people to share in our churches and communities.

The opening of the exhibition took place at a special evening event at Margaret River Uniting Church on Friday 27 March where artists and their families, the congregation and wider community were invited to attend.
