MIDDLE Ridge Uniting Church has responded to the Queensland Synod Call statement of 2010, and the challenge set by their minister Rev Rob Callow to "do the theme", with the creation of a special banner.

Church member Jan Pennington spent 18 months designing and creating a banner to symbolise the themes of the statement, using hand appliqué.

The completed banner is three metres long and 1.2 metres wide, and is on display in the church auditorium.

Other challenges included: Uniting in Christ – attend a mid-week service at St Luke's or St Patrick's Cathedrals.

Acting with love – visit a resident of Blue Care Village.

Living with hope – write someone an encouraging letter.

Witnessing in faith – discuss with your children or grandchildren the good things you can do and how these help to tell people about God.

Working for justice – with the help of your children or grandchildren, make a card or send a letter to a politician encouraging them to do a good job.
