MISSION NEWS:

The Winter edition of the Mission Aviation Fellowship [M.A.F.) has arrived full of interesting information as usual. Once again they are asking for donations towards fuel to keep them flying their life saving missions. You may remember we gathered money for jerry cans of fuel as a Father's Day gift last year. How many jerry cans can we fill this year? .Any donation is welcome; rivets, tools, windsocks, all help keep the planes in the air. During August we will have a retiring collection for M.A.F. on the Mission table. Can you help?

PEW SHEET 6th September

 

We wish all fathers, grandfathers and those who father a very Happy Father’s Day

God, bless all the fathers, grandfathers and those who father. Guide them to be good role models and loving to all their children. Help them to be a father like you are. Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way.
Amen

Mission Aviation Fellowship Father’s Day Appeal see www.mafgifts.org.au  

The purchase of a Jerrycan of fuel can help make the difference for people who need medical aid in remote areas. Sonja (age 16) who lives in a remote village in Papua New Guinea needed to go to hospital because she had been in labour for 5 days. Three jerry cans of fuel meant that she could go to hospital in Mt Hagen, give birth to her baby and receive much needed help and support.

 

 

This year we seek to be changed
