SUMMARY:Koonung Heights Uniting Church Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Koonung Heights Uniting Church Open Day\n \n  \nKoonung Heights Uniting Church \nSunday 11 October from 10am to 12noon \nThere has been a church building of some kind on the corner of Belmore and Winfield Roads since 1952. Back then it was a small\, prefabricated Methodist church on an undeveloped block. Both the churches who sponsored it are gone now\, but Koonung Heights continues to flourish\, now as a Uniting Church. \nThe open day invites members of the local community to visit and experience something of the warmth of friendship the church offers as well as learning a little about what keeps its members coming back each Sunday. \nDuring the two hours the church will be open there will be a short worship service\, beginning at 10.15\, activities for children\, coffee and tea\, music from the church’s musicians and opportunities to learn about other activities such as the Social Justice Group\, the Coffee and Craft afternoons\, and the Practice your English group. \nCheck out the website at https://koonungheights.unitingchurch.org.au/ \nRosalind Kentwell

SUMMARY:Canterbury History Group and Surrey Hills Historical Society. Here Comes the Bride
DESCRIPTION:Here Comes the Bride\nMaling Heritage Centre. 190A Canterbury Road\, Canterbury \nMonday 28 September to Friday 9 October (Monday to Friday 2pm to 5pm. Sunday\, 11am to 5pm) \nOver the last few months\, the Canterbury History Group and the Surrey Hills Historical Society have been researching the social history of weddings\, the traditions behind them and the changes that can be seen over time. Why the white dress? And why were orange blossoms so commonly used in bouquets\, buttonholes and bridal coronets? \nTraditionally\, and continuing in some cultures\, marriage reflected class and inheritance\, with partners often chosen by family. Today in Boroondara and more broadly\, weddings still celebrate the marriage of two people and the joining of their families; they demonstrate love and are a time for the couple to celebrate with family and friends and to publicly state their commitment to each other. \nThis exhibition draws upon material held in our collections and within the local community. It includes dresses from the late 1890’s up until today\, over 50 wedding photos\, memorabilia including accessories\, cards and wedding invitations\, over 1000 local marriage announcements and newspaper reports\, and individuals’ stories. \n
