Our Brick by Brick♥ campaign, which officially closed on 31 August 2024, was a monumental effort to rebuild our church, guided by God's grace and love at every step. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this project, ensuring that, with God's blessing, the story, memories, and community connections continue.

Our Project and Continuing Support

The Proserpine Whitsunday Uniting Church has a rich history on the corner of Main and Herbert Streets, serving the local community since 1899. Over the years, our church has evolved from a humble wooden structure into a larger, more solid building, becoming St James Uniting Church in 1977. Unfortunately, Cyclone Debbie brought an end to this beloved building, and we launched a fundraising campaign to build a new church that would stand strong for future generations.

While the official campaign has ended, we still welcome and appreciate all further donations and contributions. These funds will be used for the ongoing administration and maintenance of the new church building, helping us to sustain this vital community hub.

SUPPORTING OTHER WORTH CAUSES

Beyond the church rebuilding project, we also support various initiatives that address critical needs within our community, with members of our Congregation past and present providing service to the local community for nearly 125 years.   Our current outreach and support programs include: –

♥ Annual Flower Show

♥ Annual Harvest Thanksgiving & Celebration of Life Service

♥ Ecumenical services for Christmas, Easter and other special occasions

♥ Religious education in local schools

♥ Local nursing home services

♥ Anzac Day services at the Proserpine Cenotaph and local schools

♥ Fundraising drives contributing funds to local projects, e.g. 4 Tiny Houses

♥ Youth engagement

♥ homelessness

♥ court support

♥ Family Food and Fun with Jesus.

Donations from our community help us make a difference in these areas.   While we have been of help to thousands of others over the years, it is with God’s grace that we received the help of many within our own local community and from others around Australia to support the Brick By Brick Campaign Thank you ♥ ♥ ♥
