Activities start at church

Activities at the Umina Uniting Church have started for the year, according to Broken Bay Uniting Church secretary Annette Strong.

"A coach load of folk had a most informative tour over Burnside Homes recently," said Ms Strong.

"There is a wonderful museum established detailing so much of the history of that great activity which for so many years was home to so many children, and today is still very involved with foster care and numerous other activities under the banner of Unitingcare.

"It is open for public inspection and well worth a visit.

"Unitingcare is the recipient of the well publicised Pancake Day which is normally held on Shrove Tuesday, February 28, and numerous forms of activities are held all over NSW to raise funds."

At Umina Uniting Church, pancakes will be served for morning tea after services on Sunday, March 5.

"Everyone is welcome," Ms Strong said.

"Plans are well under way for the first Umina Market Day on Saturday, March 28, and many folk are busy preparing for the Religious Education Ministries Fete at Umina High Campus on Saturday, March 11.

"This year the World Day of Prayer will be held at 10.30am in the Umina Uniting Church.

"The order of service this year has been prepared by women of South Africa and the speaker will be June Cameron, of Belmont Uniting Church and leader in the Guiding Movement."
