Blue Care gives Morayfield a new home

Morayfield Community Uniting Church has found a new home at the local Blue Care centre.

After worshipping at the local Blue Care centre since January 2004, the congregation placed a relocatable building on the site for worship and use as a community centre and officially dedicated it on 23 October.

Rev Beryl Nielsen said, “The church is most grateful for the generosity of Blue Care and we hope to become a permanent fixture on the site in the years to come. We have a vision to forge links with the community and discover ways we can live our mission to ‘Cultivate Seeds of Hope’.”

Blue Care Regional Director Bob Gilkes said the 11 acre site was gifted to Blue Care by Morayfield couple Jack and Jean Linsday.

“Our vision for this site is to combine health and residential aged care together with a wide range of community services,” he said.

Moderator Rev Dr David Pitman was guest speaker at the service followed by morning tea and a traditional family picnic with a barbecue lunch and games.

The Morayfield Community Church is co-located with the local Blue Care centre at 12-16 Weier Road, Morayfield. To contact the church phone 07 5432 4770.
