NEW TO THE MISSION TABLE

Anglican Aid Abroad December Issue – AAA is our chosen overseas mission giving for 2014/15.

ACCESS ministries leaflet answering frequently asked questions

Anglicare Imagine Magazine – the back page includes these words from a foster child; ‘I don’t like Christmas. You wish for things and they never come.’ The little girl says this because in her past Santa has always ended up being sick or getting lost. It is so good that through Anglicare Morwell and our Thanksgiving Tree we can help restore hope for children like this. Thank you to our Mission Secretary Olive Lang and others who have delivered our gifts to Morwell in time for distribution.

THE GIPPSLAND ANGLICAN OUT TODAY- collect your copy from the foyer at Holy Trinity. The Reverend Philip Muston our diocesan administrator writes about the Holy Family. Philip also writes, ‘By the time you read this it is possible that the name of our new Bishop will have been announced.’ This is an exciting development and an answer to our prayers.
