Our church and meeting room are air-conditioned! Lovely and warm this winter!

Our location is in a peaceful setting and provides the right atmosphere for retreats. Several church and other organisations regularly use the facilities, particularly the meeting room which is air-conditioned and carpeted. There is a good kitchen with a refrigerator and a stove for reheating food. With an abundance of natural light, there also is a good-sized deck outside with lovely rural views. There is a large video screen and a high definition projector that can operate from cable or WIFI. Please contact the secretary for more information. .

Thanks to the Cherry Gardens Garden Club and dedicated volunteers from our congregation, we have a developing garden with beautiful heritage roses and a growing selection of suitable plantings.

CHERRY CHURCH GIVING

We believe that God in response to his incredible grace, calls us to give him our first and our best – including our finances. Through tithes and offerings and other gifts, we are able to bless our church community but more importantly make a difference in the community that exists beyond us.

We make regular donations to many organisations because so many of the congregation are so generous with their giving.

We are so thankful to God for the wonderful generosity from people at Cherry Gardens Uniting Church.

SUNDAY OFFERING

Tithes and offerings are collected at each of our Sunday worship services.
