Caring for God's Creation - a short video presentation The Service at Henley Fulham Uniting Church on Sunday, 17th October 2021, was "Cafe Church" at The Temple Worship Centre (Henley Beach). The Service is held cabaret-style in the Church Hall and is much more informal than usual. The theme was "Caring for God's Creation", in which parishioners were invited to talk about how the local environment had changed, and in what ways they as individuals could help care for the area. Both Henley and Fulham are central to the area known to the Kaurna First Peoples as Witongga, the Reed Beds. A four-minute edit of my video was played to seed the discussion.
