Calling Easter people

ONE hundred and fifty Uniting Church members gathered in Mt Louisa House of Praise in Townsville for worship over the
Easter weekend.

Congregation minister, Rev Anne Harley, said this year’s Easter Call was a success and attendees were changed, inspired, healed, and more equipped to serve.

“We believe God has far more for us in the Uniting Church in North Queensland than we are demonstrating.

“The Call was an exciting two days of worship, teaching, electives, food, fun and fellowship,” said Ms Harley.

This year’s theme was refreshed, redeemed and released.

“The event was born from a vision of Ezekiel 37 and the need to call the dry bones of the church to rise up and live.

“We were so fortunate to have speakers of the calibre of Sandra Sellmer from Elijah House ministries, David Sylvester from YWAM and Maria Moriconi who organises Ignite NQ.

“At one of the sessions Sandra shared on healing trauma.

It was so powerful and healing for many of us in the north,” she said.

“There were many healings over the weekend.”

Ms Harley said the highlight of the weekend was Easter Saturday where local band Elevate led worship.

“Many young people gave their hearts to Jesus and made recommitments of their lives.

“Over the weekend adults, youth and children all got a renewed sense of God’s call in their lives.”
