Aspley Caring Through Service (Dorcas ACTS)

Our Church operates an active Community Service initiative called Aspley Caring Through Service – ACTS. It provides financial relief from poverty or misfortune, particularly to people who are not members of our Church and who live far away from us. The focus of Dorcas ACTS is to have a personal ministry to individuals in genuine need, particularly victims of floods, droughts and bushfires as well as broken families, homelessness, the unemployed, refugees and asylum seekers. Dorcas ACTS also offers assistance to various School Breakfast Programs.

Dorcas ACTS Vision Statement

Dorcas ACTS is a Community Fund of the Aspley Uniting Church which is financed by the gifts of caring people who strive to express the compassion of Jesus of Nazareth. We provide direct financial help to people in difficult personal financial circumstances in and outside Australia. All of the Dorcas ACTS team are volunteers who respect the confidentiality of all whom we help. Dorcas ACTS carries out its mission without incurring any overhead costs. Every day, we are easily accessible to those in need by sending an email to office@aspleyuc.org.au

Circles of Care

Within the life of the Church we have 12 groups that comprise the Circles of Care. Each Circle provides friendship and pastoral care to all members of the group. Each person is encouraged to be aware of, and pray for the needs of people in their Circle eg illness, hospitalisation, family celebrations and bereavement. Through the Circles of Care, all members of the congregation can be involved in pastoral care.

Uniting Early Learning Aspley

Uniting Early Learning Aspley is a place your family can call home. Here in our flourishing community, we nurture relationships that nourish body, mind and spirit.

Here, we encourage supportive exploration, both in our rooms and outside in our expansive outdoor play areas.

We delight in our children and rejoice in watching them thrive.

Yesterday’s Youth (2Ys)

The 2Y’s, Yesterday’s Youth, have a membership of approximately 50 men and women aged from 60+ who meet monthly to enjoy friendship, fellowship and devotions while being engaged in a variety of social activities. Some of these include Australia Day BBQ breakfast; Guest speakers from various organisations; visit to Botanical Gardens; Mother’s Day breakfast; Fish and Chips outings; Boondall Wetlands picnic; Train trips – just to name a few.

Friendship Club

The Friendship Club comprises of members of our congregation for meetings and outings. Usually we participate in the World Day of Prayer service wherever it is held in our locality and we always enjoy our fish and chips lunch at a close-by seaside location. We take advantage of talented persons within our congregation and invite them to speak to us on a recent trip, a past experience or hobbies; also some use their musical skills to entertain us. We have one annual outing to the Aspley Special School for morning tea. We also have a Christmas luncheon in December.

Ladies Fellowship

The Ladies Fellowship meets once a month. The meeting commences with Devotions followed by a short business meeting and then either a guest speaker or some interesting activity.  We organise a couple of social fund raising functions each year and also help with catering for other church activities.  When required we provide refreshments following funeral services which is something really appreciated by bereaving families. We are a happy, caring group and new members are always welcome.

Needlework and Craft

The Needlework and Craft Group is a small group that meets at 9.30 am on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month for Three C’s (coffee, craft and chat). We each work on our own projects in a relaxed atmosphere, offering admiration and encouragement, help and advice if required. We would love to have more ladies join us.
