NEWS & EVENTS:
Coffee Morning Meetings
Coffee Mornings are held on the first Thursday of the month between March and November.
Our meetings are held in the Church Hall. Refreshments are served from 10.15 am, followed by a guest speaker. Topics are varied, stimulating and interesting.
Everyone is welcome and we encourage you to come when you are able. A small donation is appreciated to cover expenses. Any excess money is given to the Boroondara Community Outreach – this is a program organised by the Uniting Church in association with Boroondara City Council in assisting the most disadvantaged local citizens.
To receive regular updates of speakers, we invite you to join our email service by contacting us at mail@auburnuc.com.au , leaving your name and email address – this way you won’t miss out on program updates.
PROGRAM 2026
The coffee morning program will conclude on Thursday, 5 November, when we will have an outing to a Synagogue in the south-eastern suburbs. Full details have been sent to all coffee morning participants. Coffee mornings will resume on Thursday 4 March 2027.

Church Garden:
Come and enjoy the gardens around the church.
You are welcome to walk through the grounds which adjoin Oxley Road, Hepburn Street, Duffy Place and Edlington Street - set back from the SW corner of Burwood Road and Auburn Road.
The exterior of the church was renovated in 2021 and the gardens are for everyone to share. The pop-up garden cared for by members of ASPECT, a local group of young neuro-diverse people, recently featured on Gardening Australia.
