Notices_Sunday 14th May — Sixth Sunday of Easter

NOTICES:

 

 

The flowers in the church today have been donated by Michelle Park­er in lov­ing memory of her moth­er, Dawn Sparkes.

 

 

 

Our Myan­mar Lunch last Sunday was abso­lutely deli­cious and the talk giv­en by Colin and Lyn Ban­ner­man, and Tony Naake was col­our­ful, inter­est­ing and inform­at­ive.  Every­one real­ised just how priv­ileged we are in Aus­tralia and gave gen­er­ously to the appeal.  So, a hearty thanks to all who atten­ded and to all who donated.  At this stage the amount giv­en was $1910 in cash; $1235 on Eft­pos and $200 donated through our church account which the Treas­urer will for­ward onto ABM as soon pos­sible.  Our total raised was $3,346 and as prom­ised the War­dens agreed to round it up to the nearest $500 which will then amount to $3,500.  A mys­tery donor is also match­ing the first $2,000, so all togeth­er this amounts to $5,500!  Colin and Lyn Ban­ner­man and their team, togeth­er with Edwina Waddy and Lina from ABM are so very grate­ful to you all.

 

 

Next Sunday – 21^st May: Par­ish Coun­cil meets after morn­ing tea.
