Painting with light

14th June 2015 by

On Thursday 18 June the Museum of Brisbane will launch an Exhibition for the work of William Bustard entitled “Painting with Light”. William Bustard designed the Good Shepherd stained glass window which spans the front of the Stanthorpe Uniting Church building. William Bustard was primarily a painter but his designs for windows are featured in many buildings in Queensland.

The Rogerson family provided the memorial window in memory of Susan Elizabeth Busby Rogerson (12 May 1944 – 12 October 1960). There is also a plaque for Colin Rogerson 2 March 1899 – 4 April 1968.

The beauty of stained glass work is best appreciated when light streams through the glass. Our lives are also more beautiful when the light of Christ shines through us.

Grace and Peace,
Kaye

Target & Uniting Care Giving Box

3rd December 2014 by

With the holiday season just around the corner, an overwhelming number of families in Australia will be feeling anxiety over the lack of resources to buy Christmas gifts for their children.

That’s why we have teamed up with Target Australia in an effort to spread Christmas cheer to families that won’t be able to buy gifts for their children. You can help out by visiting our local Target Country store and place an unwrapped gift/s inside the giving box or take a bauble gift tag to make a donation at the register.

What a great way to be involved and help someone less fortunate at the happiest time of the year!

Operation Santa

5th December 2012 by

Help someone in need!

UnitingCare and Target have joined forces again for the 21st year of Operation Santa – The UnitingCare Christmas Appeal. This appeal runs from 8 November to 23 December.

This year the Operation Santa team is reminding people throughout Australia that ‘a little gift makes a big difference.’ The simple gesture of donating a gift, no matter how small, will go a long way towards making Christmas brighter for someone in need.

Help us replace the children in the picture with gifts this Christmas. Not all children are as lucky as these children and many won’t receive anything this Christmas. Help us to brighten the lives of many on Christmas morning.

How to make a donation:

Simply place an unwrapped gift under the red Operation Santa Christmas tree located in any Target or Target Country store around Australia. Alternatively, purchase a gift card at any store register.

People are encouraged to DONATE EARLY so that UnitingCare representatives can ensure the gifts and gift cards are distributed in time for Christmas.

If you would like anymore information please ask any Target staff member or Jean Pyle at Granite News who is organising this appeal on behalf of the Uniting Church.
