Spring Getaway
18th to 20th Nov 2011
Spring Getaway is an opportunity for us to spend the weekend relaxing down at Fitzroy Falls. Accommodation is very comfortable, all meals are provided and the surrounds are lush and peaceful. If you haven’t already done so, get your camp registration forms and money to Elizabeth Phythian ASAP. We need all money and forms in by last Sunday!!!. If you would like to pay by EFT, please see/email Elizabeth for details. For those wishing to camp rather than stay in the cabin accommodation, please ensure you have an updated form (available in the foyer) as the original forms contained an error re the camping costs.
With Love to the World!
The latest edition of With Love to the World is available in the foyer from today. With Love to the World is a daily devotional published by the Uniting Church with readings, commentary, and prayer points. This edition covers Advent and Christmas through to the end of January. Copies are $4 which can be popped in the box on the foyer table.
The Journey… Advent Bible studies
Starting next Sunday evening (13th.) at 6pm and running for 5 weeks, you are invited to come along to Advent Bible studies and reflection as we look at the Journey of Mary and Joseph preparing for the birth of Jesus the Christ. These studies use a DVD presented by Adam Hamilton (similar to our Lenten studies) which will take us to Israel as we consider the events leading to the birth of Jesus. There will also be a time of reflection, reading and conversation.
Open to anyone who would like to come along! If you are able, bring a plate of sandwiches to share as a starter to our evenings together. If you would like more information please speak with Rev. Mark.
