Church Notes

ANGLICAN

ULTIMA’S monthly service is on today at the Ultima Hall at 7.30pm. All welcome.

Last Sunday, parishioners took the opportunity to give thanks for highlights of recent years, reflect on opportunities and challenges looking ahead and, finally, some thoughts on the personal attributes they would like to see in our next leader.

Archdeacon George has left extra questionnaires at the church for written responses.

On Sunday, we will give thanks for all fathers, for their love and care just as our father in heaven gives.

A prayer preparing for a new incumbent will be offered and made available for people to take home and use.

We are thankful for the continuation of services and church activities while our Rector is on holidays prior to his new ministry.

GRAIN SHED

WHAT a great weekend was had last week with Sharing Hope as our guest speakers.

They spoke about Hope in Conflict for the Karen people.

Thanks again to all the families who so generously opened their homes billeting the group.

Tonight our Grain Shed youth meet at 7pm and what a night it will be. Open to all secondary students who are looking to connect with others, have fun and learn about Jesus, contact Liz at youth@thegrainshed.org.au

Sunday at 10am, Pastor La’Mont is back with another message and we look forward to seeing old, new, visiting or just curious faces.

Mainly Music Monday starts at 9.30am. It’s a wonderful, interactive music program for little ones with their mums/dads/grandparents/carers.

Wednesday, 2pm to 3pm, La’Mont leads a church bible study and all are welcome.

Thursday 10am our creative craft ladies meet and are always open to a good coffee to start their morning.

It is Operation Christmas Child time. Come and collect a shoebox and start filling them with gifts for children in need.

Let’s make a difference this Christmas for the young ones around the world receiving them.
