| It was agreed in November 2006 that the Presbytery establish Reconciliation Sunday in Reconciliation Week(27 May to 3 June) annually, to be celebrated across the Church, and request Church Councils to include this day in their worship calendars.
In 2011 Reconciliation Sunday will be on Sunday 29th May. Worship Resources for 2011 are available for downloading from this page. Additional resources may be available later so please come back.
Feel free to copy, all or part of these resources in planning worship for this day. They may also be used later during NAIDOC week celebrations (Sunday 3 July 2011) if this fits in better with your worship planning. Resources from previous years may also be downloaded.
The 2011 resources include: 1. A complete order of service. 2. Some material for consideration when sermon writing.. 3. General information on the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress and Covenanting. 4. Suggested hymns with notes and a children's story.
