St John’s Weekly Bulletin – Sunday 3 December 2017

In the Anglican church, Holy Communion is a central part of our worship. It’s a beautiful gift that Jesus gave to us, to comfort and strengthen us.

In our church it’s the responsibility of parents to determine when their kids are ready to take part in Communion, and it’s their responsibility, with the church, to ensure that their children have an appropriate understanding of what they are taking part in.

I recently met up with two families who wanted their children to be able to take part fully in Communion in our church, and I look forward to “admitting” them to Communion in our church services in the near future. I’m looking at having another Communion discovery session for families in the near future, probably in the January school holidays. If you haven’t done so already, please let me know if you would like your family to be involved.

Blessings, Murray

If you had a key that gave you entry to the hall, it will still open the toilet door but not the front door. Please contact Murray on 02 49275399 to get either a PIN code or a key-tag that will open the door.

If you don’t have a key but need access to the hall, the location of the key is still the same, but you need to swipe the tag rather than open the door with the key. If you have any questions, please let us know!
