The Gisborne Uniting Church is located right in the centre of Gisborne and has facilities used by many of the community. We have about 25 people attending each Sunday for Worship and a friendly cuppa after. Quite a few groups meet socially and for study during the week or weekends ..
Gisborne Uniting Church offers a range of worship, service, educational and social activities to which you are warmly invited. If you are interested in any of these, or think the church could be of help to you, please do not hesitate to contact one of the people mentioned.
Our Worship Services are led by Ministers on 2nd Sunday monthly, and by lay preachers on other Sundays.
Communion is held on 4th Sunday monthly by an Ordained Minister.
We are a part of the universal Body of Christ, ecumenical in outlook, committed to the proclamation of the Word of God, and witnessing to God’s redeeming love to our community.

EASTERN ORTHODOX ICONS
Observed by a Western iconographer
Peter Blackwood is a retired minister of the Uniting Church who has served both in parishes and on the Synod staff in Melbourne. His doctoral thesis was on the Old Testament psalms and he is a keen amateur musician.
Peter has painted many icons and he conducts workshops in Melbourne for people interested in painting (or "writing") their own icons.
These workshops are called "icon schools".
Icons are vividly coloured representations of people and stories from the Old and New Testaments, also of notable Christians down the ages.
Every Orthodox church around the world has numerous large icons, and many Orthodox believers have smaller icons in their homes.
Icons have both teaching and inspirational functions. Even more, they are a focus for prayer and reflection.
The largest Orthodox Church is in Russia, but there are self-governing Orthodox churches in many countries.
The largest Orthodox Church in Australia, by far,is the Greek Orthodox.
See our Resources page to watch a video of Peter's lecture.
The Macedon Ranges Partnership continues to explore new ways or fresh expressions of being missional Churches.
Carols by Candelight
The Gisborne Community Carols by Candlelight was held this year on Sunday evening 8th December in Dixon Field. Some of our congregation members made significant contributions to the success of the evening. The event was well supported by the community with around 1,000 attending.
