== Outreach & Social Justice Missional Group ==
 * This is the successor to the CommunityOutreach missional group established in the OnTheWayTogether process. 
 * We see our role as:
  * Supporting and advocating for social justice projects outside of GWUC, including Congregational Outreach Projects.
  * Encouraging members to pursue their outreach and social justice passions.
 * Groups and programs overseen by this group can be found at [[MissionalFunctionalGroups|Current groups]]
 * See the regular [[https://justact.org.au/newsletter/|Synod Social Justice newsletters]] for issues of interest.

=== Upcoming events ===
 * Monash City Council have arranged [[ https://www.monash.vic.gov.au/Community/Diversity-Inclusion-and-Equal-Access/First-Nations-Reconciliation/Reconciliation-Week-2024|an evening with Uncle Bart Willoughby]] on Wednesday, 29 May 2024, 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.  As a member of the Stolen Generation, Uncle Bart's music is incredibly moving and deeply rooted in personal and cultural heritage.
