What is happening at the Anglican Church of St.Matthew’s Dunoon

The re-building project has reached another hurdle.  The plans are in the hands of five builders and we are awaiting quotes.  Hopefully, the building should start going up in another month or two!!
In the meantime, we continue to hold our services in the Uniting Church Building on the corner of Dunoon Road and Fraser Road every Sunday morning at 9.30am.  
On Sunday September 13th this year thousands of people across Australia will be inviting someone special BACK TO CHURCH.
This is to be known as ‘Back to Church Sunday’. People lose touch with church for all sorts of reasons but we hope that millions would come back with an invitation.
Back to Church Sunday began in one Anglican diocese in the United Kingdom in 2005 and since then has spread to all 44 dioceses and also across other denominations. On ‘Back to Church Sunday’ in the UK in 2008, people in 3,000 churches invited and welcomed back 37,000 friends.
We look forward to welcoming many people back to church on 13th September and in the process, encouraging church members to become more invitational and assisting churches to become more welcoming.
I should personally like to invite anyone from Dunoon to come along on that day. If nothing else, you will enjoy one of our famous morning teas.  Everyone is welcome!!
