Tim Writes

We're got a great team
of volunteers for
Sunday School but it
would be good if there
was one person who
had a vision and passion for the
ministry. Pray that God will raise such a
person up.
MISSIONS GIVING UPDATE
An update on how we give to missions.
I forgot one method which are the blue
Anglican Missions boxes at the back of
some of the churches. You can take
these home, fill them up with loose
change over several months and then
bring them in and put them in the plate.
If you write your envelope number on
the white space on the back it will be
recorded with your regular giving for
the year and will be included in your
end of year tax receipt.
AUDIO SERMONS UPDATED
We're back to putting the sermons
online again as audio recordings. You
can browse to the parish website, click
on sermons, click on the one you want
