LENT approaches, and Ash Wednesday is 22nd February. Now is the time to start returning your old palm crosses so that they can be burnt to make the ashes.
Our parish Lenten Study this year is called "From Adam to Abraham" -- a study of the first 11 chapters of Genesis. The notes can be used privately by you each day in Lent, and if you wish you can also come to a group discussion of the material once a week: groups, 11.30am on Sunday and 7.45pm on Wednesday. ALSO parishioners are encouraged to make a Lenten Rule for themselves, to follow this Lent, and to place a "Lenten symbol" on the prayer tree as a sign of this. Contact us for further information about this.
The year is now fully underway and in the next few months there are a number of signficant events for us to mark in the diary:
Please note that the correct phone number to use for all parish business is 9723 5099.
Unfortunately the "white pages" still has the old "office phone number", which was disconnected over a year ago.
Used stamps can be left with Iris Hollingsworth (8am) or Harry Jackson (10am). The stamps are sold to dealers to make money for missions.
