Adelaide House

Adelaide House

Adelaide House was designed by John Flynn in 1920 and built by the Australian Inland Mission in 1926. One of the earliest buildings in town, this ‘bush nursing hostel’ offered health services and hospitality to those living in the tiny town of Stuart.

Museum features outback nurses stories, Flynn’s story, Pedal Radio invention and passive outback architectural design.

Anangu Connections

Anangu Connections

The relationship between Christian people in the APY lands and the Uniting Church in Alice Springs goes back more than 80 years. It is founded in the history of the church’s involvement with the Ernabella Mission at Pukatja in the Musgrave ranges of South Australia.

Throughout the Northern Synod, urban congregations have entered into partnership relationships with indigenous congregations in their area. Anangu and other First Nations people attend our services on Sunday morning. Components of our service are in both English and Pitjantjatjara.

Meeting Place

Anangu Connections

The Meeting Place: that is what we hope and dream to be. Our land and buildings are located on the Todd Mall in Alice Springs, and many people pass through or stop by on our lawns each day. It is our vision to help people connect: visitors and locals, across cultures and ages; to be the beating heart of our town. In collaboration with volunteers from across the community we run a drop-in centre, an Op Shop, and the Adelaide House tourist centre. In all of these activities we want to welcome people in a safe and inclusive manner, and play our part in helping revitalise the centre of this wonderful town and region.

Sorry Rex and I can’t be with you to celebrate the life of a beautiful man. Much love to Margaret, Heather and family. Farewell , dear David , you have lived a lifetime of giving , caring and kindness. X

Praise God from whom all blessing flow 🙏

We love you Dave, Margaret, and Heather. A beautiful service. Dave... we will meet again.

Prayers for Margaret, Heather, Steve and grandchildren. Amen - Steve and Surleen x 🙏

Beautiful man

The inspirational and beautiful man I have the honour to call 'friend' - including his beautiful wife, Margaret. X

Thanks for sharing the service. Love to all and we join you in giving thanks for David’s remarkable life.

David's life is an inspiration, 'to make every day count'. Thankyou to Margaret , Heather and all the family and friends who have shared so generously with us today. To God be the glory!

Is this for David Hewitt's funeral, as it's hard to tell just by the photo, especially as l'm not in Alice at the moment.

Many people have lost a strong advocate, a voice and pen that stood up for those who were voiceless. Thank God for his faith in action. Thankyou to Benj and the church for sharing this service with us throughout our country and beyond.
