Together emagazine – Issue 12 Autumn, 2026

April 1, 2026

Welcome to our Autumn 2026 edition of TOGETHER.

There is something truly beautiful about this time of year. Easter draws us together to give thanks and celebrate the hope that God’s grace brought to the world — through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus on the cross, and His triumphant resurrection. Easter changed everything, and we have every reason to live joyfully and to share His love with those around us.

In our feature story we recap some of the wonderful ways prayer has been making an impact across our union. I’d love you to join with me and many others in deepening prayer for our union of churches as we seek God for a deeper and wider reach across this state of Victoria. I invite you to visit our prayer page where you’ll find ways to engage in union wide prayer and to keep connected via our quarterly People of Prayer newsletter.

In other stories, we celebrate: more disciples in the making with a fresh wave of baptisms across our state; the wonderful women in our union working to balance the scales for women and girls locally and globally; and some beautiful examples of people and churches on mission across our state – transforming lives within their local communities through engagement with those who do not yet know Jesus.

I particularly pray a blessing over you as you experience Easter – may the hope and grace of God be present in your life and may you be encouraged to share these gifts we have been given with those around you.

God bless

Rev Daniel Bullock

Director of Mission and Ministries
