St Luke’s Enmore Supports ABM Australia

through pray­er, fin­an­cial com­mit­ment and per­son­al involve­ment of its mem­bers in the work of ABM.

ABM stands for Anglic­an Board of Mis­sion and its web­site is at www.abmission.org

We sup­port three major pro­jects.

2. The Bish­op New­town School of Theo­logy in Pap­ua New Guinea
3. Health­Care and Edu­ca­tion in the Dio­cese of Jer­u­s­alem, The Holy Land

Dona­tions for these pro­jects come from

• the Op Shop (20% of the pro­ceeds)
• the Len­ten Offer­ing pro­gram
• Offer­ings spe­cific­ally for ABM made every Sunday of the year

We are a charitable organization sponsored by the Anglican Church parish of St Luke’s Enmore.

All our friendly and help­ful staff are volun­teers, and there are no wages, com­mis­sion or admin­is­tra­tion charges pay­able.

We sell good qual­ity clean cloth­ing, lin­en, and house­hold items, includ­ing crock­ery, glass­ware, and books, at very reas­on­able prices.  Dona­tions of these items are very wel­come.

Pro­ceeds from our sales go towards loc­al, with­in Aus­tralia and over­seas char­it­able organ­iz­a­tions. The shop also sup­ports the Anglic­an Board of Mis­sion, the Al Ahli Hos­pit­al in Gaza, owned and run by the Epis­copal Dio­cese of Jer­u­s­alem. This hos­pit­al does not dis­crim­in­ate and is open to all sick and injured people.

We do not accept fur­niture (space lim­it­a­tions), and we can­not accept used elec­tric­al appli­ances, com­puters and parts, bike hel­mets, prams, strollers and health appli­ances such as wheel­chairs, walk­ers, frames and sim­il­ar items.

St Luke’s Memori­al Garden is a quiet, tran­quil place in a noisy sub­urb. A brick path bordered with Clivi­as (Clivia mini­ata) leads from the War Memori­al Gate on Stan­more Road to the door of the Organ Cham­ber and the Side Door of the Church. To the left, against the wall of an old build­ing there are Mini­ature Box (Bux­us sem­per­virens) hedges sur­round­ing plots where the ashes of the dead rest in peace. To the right against the Church wall is a vig­or­ous Canary Palm tree (Phoenix canari­en­sis) which provides branches for our Palm Sunday Pro­ces­sion. It also provides small dates from which count­less seed­lings grow.

Also in the pic­ture to the left are Tree Ferns (Cyathea aus­tral­is) and Aus­trali­an Sword Ferns, (Neph­ro­lepis oblit­er­ate) as well as oth­er nat­ive and exot­ic plants.
