In light of the Victorian government’s announcement of a five-day lockdown, the St Michael’s Uniting Church building will be closed from Friday 16 July to help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

While the church building is closed, our hearts remain open.

Unfortunately this means the church doors will not be open for the Thursday Lunchtime Organ Recitals.
Please keep checking our website for updates. We hope we will be seeing you soon.
