Celebrating & Sharing
This week we will celebrate the extraordinary work of our Op Shop Volunteers. The Coffee & Desert Night is just a small token of our Parish’s appreciation. Despite a year of many challenges, they exceeded budget by $12,000 in 2007. They continue the tradition of sharing their success by supporting ministries in Dapto, Wollongong and throughout the world.
Their generosity has enabled our Children’s and Youth Ministries to continue our tradition and employ 3 trainees this year.
- Amy Brown will be engaged in designing personal development plans for each child and leading the follow up teams.
- Mel Humble will co-ordinate the Kids Club and is also establishing a Children’s Dance Ministry.
- Christine Lane is working with the Youth Teams and helping Pete Gold co-ordinate the Friday Night Programs.
The Children’s and Youth Ministries are raising the additional funds to afford these great additions to their teams.

Reaching for the stars
“Look up at the heavens and count the stars – if indeed you can count them…” “So shall your offspring be.”
Genesis 15:5
Abraham received this promise at a time when the chances of him having a legitimate heir looked desperate. God came through. Now there are millions of Christians at work in the world bearing testimony to the faithfulness of God.
We believe He has given us a great mission field in the Illawarra. As we reach for the stars and seek to build God’s kingdom at this time, in this place, please pray.
Pray for the communities that surround us each day, that God will shower His love and forgiveness on them. We need to reach for all the stars God will make from our family, friends and colleagues.
