Hi all.
The excitement builds as we count down the days leading up to the Stations of the Cross Art Exhibition.
On Monday afternoon the tour guides came together for the first time this year and we received a peek viewing into some of the artists and their work. Catherine Czerw, our Curator, shared some hints and led us through an exciting presentation as we prepared for the exhibition.
On Wednesday, Catherine and I and Rev Viv Larkin, visited three more of the artists. It was refreshing to hear and see how each of the artists is processing the issues surrounding the journey of Jesus to the Cross. The question of how we “deal with our mortality” was there with all three artists. Each one entered that question very subjectively, conscious as one artist quietly said, “We all die”.
The woman I mentioned last week did die and will be sadly missed, particularly by her daughter. We hope to have a funeral either Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
From this and other experiences I realize that we leave behind us a legacy and in the end we choose whether it is a positive one, with deep loving as a consequence or a less helpful one where estrangement, sadness and hurt are the only memories.
Thanks for Reading.

Sunday 28th February. During the Service I will be interviewed by Paul Coates using the questions that were gleaned from members of the congregation last year. It should be fun. I will also be offering a reflection on “Blessing”.
Opening night for the Stations of the Cross Art Exhibition will be 6pm Friday 26th March.
Please let Kerri know on admin@ucic.org.au or 6103 4222 if you would like to attend.
Volunteers for Stations of the Cross Art Exhibition.
We are still interested in receiving expressions of interest from those who would like to act as volunteers, either just to ‘be there’ or to be ‘Tour Guides’. The Exhibition will be open from 9am till 5pm from Saturday 27th March through to Monday 5th April.
Please contact Revd. Lee Edwards at leerev@optusnet.com.au if you are interested.
For the ‘Tour Guides’ there will be an initial briefing at 4pm, Monday 22nd February and then the final briefing in the presence of the 2010 artworks at 5pm, Thursday 25th March.
8.30am Discussion Group.
A reminder for some that the 8.30 service is still happening. A small group gathers, we get a ‘good’ coffee from across the road and then sit together for 45 mins and talk about the Gospel reading for the day. It's really a ‘chat with the minister' or could be seen as 'minister's corner'. It a great time for me, not only because I get a coffee to get me going but we get to think more about the reading and discuss it’s impact on us. Please feel free to join us.
