Pray for our Missionary Agencies
Prayer for CMS – God of
love, whose will it is that everyone should be saved, bless the Church
Missionary Society and all who have gone out in its fellowship to preach, to
teach and to heal. Guard, guide and use them; raise up more people in your
worldwide Church to pray and to work, to care and to understand, to give to you
and to go for you, that your Church may grow, your will be done, your kingdom
come, and your glory be revealed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for AAA – O God,
our Heavenly Father, who didst send thine only begotten son into the world to
teach us to love one another, grant that the missionaries of St Andrew and
their co-workers may so faithfully obey his command that all people may live
free from want, in peace and security, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord,
who liveth and reighneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world
without end. Amen.

PROPOSED COMMUNITY GARDEN at Holy Trinity
INTRODUCTION -
The Yarram and District Health Service have been working
on creating a community vegetable garden for some time. At a recent meeting it
was clear that their proposed site within the grounds of Crossley House was not
suitable and it was at the rector's suggestion that some land within Holy Trinity property might be
available.Parish
Council has discussed this and agreed in principle because we believe it is a
viable proposal and that it addresses one of our key Strategic Plan items i.e. to adopt new ways to engage with people in
our community. We
have also sought feedback from the Holy Trinity Congregation. We are grateful
for the gracious way people have brought many aspects of the proposed garden to
our attention.
In addressing these concerns people directly affected have been consulted; Diocesan Registrar, lawn mowing, coordinator of Red Cross Catering and the verger.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS -
Who will be responsible? A committee of management will be established
under the auspices of YDHS. The committee would include members from YDHS,
Anglican Parish of Yarram, interested community people
Does our insurance cover people working on
our land?
Yes, we hold a certificate of currency with a limit liability $20,000,000 covering
bodily injury, personal injury or damage to property. The eligibility of those
who work at the garden has been checked with Registrar.
Who is the garden for? The garden is for
the use of anyone from the community. It is not limited to Crossley House
residents or YDHS clients.
How many garden beds and where? At present the
committee intends starting in a small way with 3 – 4 raise beds 2.4 x 1.2
meters behind Holy Trinity (see sight map)
Will any proposed structures make it
difficult for Richard to mow? Richard Stackhouse is happy for the project
to go ahead and foresees no problems with mowing.
Where will they store their tools? Richard is happy to
share the shed for storage of their tools until they are able to build their
own shed.
Will there be fixed structures or paths? The raised beds will
be semi-fixed. No concrete paths will be constructed. A compost bin is planned
again - semi-fixed in construction only.
Will there be any trees planted? No trees will be
planted on our land. If fruit trees are to be planted they are planned for
Crossley House site in consultation with YDHS.
Will there be less parking for funerals? Yes, there will be
the loss of 4-5 car parking spaces. These spaces are usually taken up by Red
Cross Catering who have indicated that they are more than happy to unload their
goods and then park in the street. We will investigate an agreement with the
Uniting Church to use their car park in the event of large funerals.
What about maintenance of driveways? It is true that our
driveways already suffer during the winter months. As a Parish Council we may
decide to restrict parking on the grass and vehicle access to the property
during the winter months.
Will they have access to our water supply? This question will
be raised with YDHS at the next Community Garden meeting to be held 18/8/15.
