Previous CommUnity Day Awards (2013)

All of the Uniting Church congregations involved in CommUnity Day worked hard to creatively and effectively connect with the wider local community through varied events. To recognise the effort made by so many people and groups involved, the Uniting Church SA Communications team created the CommUnity Day awards.Appreciation Awards have been presented to individual volunteers for their outstanding contribution to their congregation’s event.

The recipients of these awards were all nominated either by the minister of the church or the congregation’s CommUnity Day contact person. There were also three major overall event awards provided to congregations who showed strength in: supporting community partnership, service to the community and innovation in their choice of event. The award recipients were chosen by key Uniting Church SA members who reviewed all of the events. Congregations who excelled in these categories have been provided with a plaque and a MediaCom voucher. ‘Honourable Mentions’ were also appointed across these award categories.
