ALERT! : Car Park Safety! As a community, we need to be mindful of the increase in the number of 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 them, 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

Quick Message from Di Thatcher - Due to our Patronal Luncheon coming up on Sunday the 6th of July, there will be a Church Stall after the combined service with goods for sale, during morning tea at the front of the church.

Seeking volunteers for set-up, arranging goodies, selling items, and raffle tickets on the day. We need assistance from keen bakers and craft makers to assist in donating cakes, biscuits, slices, confectionery, Jams, Chutneys, Pickles and preserves. As always, a list of ingredients will be required for each baked and cooked item. Craft items could include sewn, knitted, crocheted, cross-stitched items, cards, decorations, artwork, woodwork, etc.

A list has been put into the Narthex to record your generous donations.

Message from Debbie Eustace: ABM used Stamps
If you have any used stamps at home, could they please be brought to church on Sunday, 15th and 22nd June and placed in the box in the narthex. These are taken to Synod, where ABM will collect them as part of their fundraising.   If you have any old stamp collection albums you no longer want, these can also be donated. It is important to leave all the stamps in the album, and not to take them out.  Likewise, if you have stamps in perforated sheets, it’s best to leave them in that format.  All donations will be gratefully accepted.

We are still helping 'the poorest of the poor gain dignity through self-sufficiency'. We support 30 destitute widows and 60 orphans. They live in the rural areas with no running water or electricity. We sponsor a young man doing a degree in Metallurgy at Zimbabwe University, and a student at a private secondary school. 

If you feel the Lord calling you to help either by prayer and/or funding, please contact me. Phone 0448 107 401, email -  timdufton@gmail.com

Jesus said "...I appointed you that you may bear fruit." John 15:16
