St John’s Weekly Bulletin – Sunday 12 February 2017

Last year at our Annual Meeting, we agreed to put $10,000 towards the cost of air conditioning the church building, to make it as welcoming and comfortable as we can for the many guests who come to St John’s evey week. Due to the financial pressures of last year, we couldn’t put that money towards the project, but we realise how important this is as every summer gets hotter. Parish council is meeting this coming Thursday and we hope to be able to announce a start towards an Air Conditioning Fund very soon. If you have ideas for fundraising, or have some money put aside that you would like to contribute to this project, please see me, or contact Howard Benson, our parish treasurer.

Please stay safe in the heat this weekend. I do hope that you can join us for worship.

Blessings, Murray

This bulletin was emailed to members of the parish on Friday 10 February 2017 – if you would like to join the Weekly Bulletin email list, please call the church office on 02 4927 5399 and we will happily arrange this.

The first was the Cooks Hill group, meeting on Wednesday nights, currently in the Church with Ken and Margret. For more, please contact Fr Ken on 0438 281 379.

Starting for the first time was a new Women’s Group meeting on Thursday mornings in Windale. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Fiona on 0422 099 264.

We are keen to get other groups going, so if you are interested in joining a group, please get in touch straight away on 02 4927 5399.

So if you aren’t able to make it to church – if you are in hospital, if you are temporarily housebound through physical illness, are suffering from depression, have mobility problems, whatever – we would love to come and share the Eucharist with you. It doesn’t need to be a long visit, but we are always happy to come.

Please contact Murray on 02 4927 5399 if you would like to be visited at home or in hospital, or if you know someone who would like a visit.

If you are interested in teaching Scripture in schools, please speak to Rob Woolfrey, our youth minister here at St John’s.

This is a vital part of our spiritual development, whatever age we are. St John’s provides daily resources for prayer on our church website. At www.saintjohns.com.au/pray you will find fresh resources for prayer Monday-Saturday every week. We would love you to make use of those resources in developing your relationship with God.
