Reflection 12th July: Mikaila on Romans 8
July 14, 2026
Menu
We are a community of faith seeking to live out the radical good news of Jesus.
We open up our land, buildings and resources in the heart of town with the hope of creating a ‘meeting place’ for people of diverse backgrounds.
Despite some of the news headlines about our town we believe that everyone has a gift and part of our gift is that we are placed in the heart of Alice Springs.
We are diverse community that aspires to:
– Know God and grow together as followers of Jesus;
– Share the transforming love of Jesus;
– Seek justice and pray for our community, for the land and all who share it; and create a welcoming and caring place for all
In the name of Christ.
We meet on Sundays @ 9.30am.
Join us every Sunday for our weekly intergenerational 9:30am service.
There is a program for kids and our community and visitors gather together for morning tea afterwards.
Our Church Council
The Alice Springs Uniting Church worships on the lands of the Arrernte people, the lands they call Mparntwe. Through this land God has nurtured and sustained them for some 50,000 years.
We are located in the heart of town in the John Flynn Memorial Church building. Grateful to those who went before us, we seek the Kingdom of God in this time and place.
We are a proudly intergenerational, multicultural and affirming church. We have Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and languages sharing in ministry together. We are a safe church for all no matter their background or where they are in life or faith.
We value the deep stillness of the land in which we live. We allow the creation and the community of which we are a part to shape our discipleship.
Justice, sustainability, reconciliation, and equality are key expressions of the holistic faith we seek to nurture in each other, and in the wider community which we serve.
The Alice Springs Uniting Church is about bringing people together.

Sending lots of love to you all today- she truly was an incredible woman x
Thanks to the crew that put this together for those who couldn’t be there❤️
Jan was a wonderful friend to me in all our years in Alice Springs and I often reflect on those memories. Watching the service this morning brought a tear to my eyes and I am so happy I was able to visit Jan 12 months ago. This is how the conversation began “NOW Libby sit down and tell me how are you and what have you been doing”? So typical of what has been said today in the Eulogies.
🙏a beautiful service sending love to all Jan’s family and friends

A beautiful, caring woman who was a valuable volunteer at Adelaide House. She kept the verandah mopped no matter the weather. A great cake baker and decorator who generously shared her skills. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother who was proud of her family. 🌻
Very sorry to read this news but so grateful for Jean and her life. Condolences to all. She will be missed but always remembered. A real treasure. ❤️
