| Aboriginal Sunday/Day of Mourning on 21 January On January 26 1938, Aboriginal leaders met for a Day of Mourning, seeking equality and full citizenship (though that would not happen for another 30 years, as an outcome of the 1967 Referendum). The Australian Churches were then asked to set aside the Sunday before January 26 as Aboriginal Sunday (previously called Aborigines’ Day), a day for Christians to act in solidarity with Aboriginal peoples and the injustices being experienced. Rev Sandy Boyce (Executive Officer, Victorian Council of Churches) will lead the service this Sunday, the January 21st, which will include reference to Aboriginal Sunday and the work of Aboriginal Christian leaders like William Cooper. |

| Pastor Kim Kiessling is still on vacation until January 21st. If you require pastoral care during this time please contact: Fr Michael Bowie Vicar, St Peter’s Eastern Hill 0432 072 213 |
