Uniting Church

Golden Journey ​Carmelle Beaugelin - A Sanctified Art
Would being part of this life of faith interest you?
We are followers of Jesus Christ. 
With God's help, we share Jesus' good news of life for all people,
learn together how to be followers of Jesus in an
open and affirming congregation,
celebrate and try to live out God's call to care for, and justice for, all people and God's creation,
​discerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit amongst us as we each serve in ministry and mission,
and caring for each other and this city as we travel along the way.
Come and see, and, we hope, experience this grace of God.

Thomas Lorenzo is a celebrated Flamenco, Jazz Guitarist and Composer. Born in Dharawal country and son of Spanish immigrants that fled fascism. When democracy was reinstalled, Thomas returned to Barcelona. He spent 36 years devouring Mediterranean culture and gradually became a world class contemporary composer and guitarist. Thomas says. “I heard music for the first time on the slopes of Mt Keira where I grew up as a child. Since then whenever I walk through the bush and nature I hear music. My compositions are a reflection of mother nature.
In 2022  I returned to my birth place and asked the Aboriginal Elders for guidance and since then my music is more connected to who we all are.
Come and enjoy music that has always been a reflection of country from a Spanish Immigrant´s eyes and heart.”  
Thomas has released five solo instrumental albums in contemporary Jazz, Blues and Flamenco styles. His  release Spanish Breeze debuted at #36 on the Top 50 JazzWeek World Music Album Charts in 2010 and was #32 on the College Music Journal Jazz Chart. The album features Grammy nominee Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Grateful Dead) on Bass, Dave Garfield (George Benson) on Keys, and Walfredo Reyes (Santana) on Drums, and was produced by Grammy nominee Bruce Sugar (Ringo Starr).
