ALERT! : Car Park Safety! As a community we need to be mindful of the increase in the number electric and hybrid vehicles, leading to an increased risk of accidents occurring due to the lack of engine noise. When cars are backing out drivers should be mindful to check for cross traffic behind you, meaning pedestrians as well as other vehicles. It has been brought to our attention that EV and Hybrid vehicles are silent and due diligence should be observed by both drivers and pedestrians to avoid any unforeseen accidents

A Message from Jan White and AMUA:
Please keep in mind the Deanery Day at Caboolture on the 8th May at
9:30 am.
Quick Message from Di Thatcher - Due to our Patronal Luncheon coming up on Sunday the 6th of July, it has been decided that a Church Stall will be run on the same day. As there will be one combined service on that day, it will be a chance for the entire congregation to check out the stall. It will be situated at the front of the church as was done with the Easter stall so people can browse while having morning tea after the service and before they proceed to Cooinda for the luncheon.
Once again, we will be asking for volunteers to help with set-up, arranging goodies, selling items, and raffle tickets on the day.
To make the stall a success we do need keen bakers and craft makers to assist in donating their talents. We would be grateful of any types of cakes, biscuits, slices or confectionary. Also Jams, Chutneys, Pickles and preserves. As always a list of ingredients will be required for each baked and cooked item. Craft items could include any sewn, knitted, crotched, cross-stitched items, cards, decorations, artwork, woodwork, etc.
Also: We are looking for some volunteers, especially from the 7:30 am Service, to join our Social and Fundraising Group. This group helps to organise upcoming activities on our Social and Fundraising Calendar to ensure the smooth running of each event. If you can spare some time and would be available for some of these events, your assistance would be most welcomed.
Please contact Di Thatcher 0409 846 471 or di@thatcher.com.au for further information.
