Special focus:

June - A Month of Prayer

September – A Month of Hospitality

If you have any suggestions about how we might enrich our prayer and/or hospitality please talk to any Parish Councillor.

The gradual sale of pews at Holy Trinity is being discussed with a view to replacing with chairs. If you have any questions or comments to add to the discussion please talk to a parish councillor.  We have received feedback from a few people. This is an on-going discussion. Parish Council values your comments.

Fire Wood – as you collect wood for yourself please consider dropping some off at the rectory.

Christians caring for our environment

This week’s challenge is: take a moment

to watch the sunrise or the sunset,
and fully absorb the miracle of light and life.

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

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.

ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER is easy, you don’t even need a computer.

If periodic payment by electronic funds transfer appeals to you, you can simply contact your bank and request a form to set up a regular periodic payment that suits your income stream. You might decide that a monthly payment suits you because you receive a monthly salary or perhaps a fortnightly payment because that’s when you receive your pension or superannuation payment. Any regular period can be selected.

The important information you will need when filling out the form is as follows:

Account Name: Anglican Parish of Yarram Parish Council

Reference: (see notes below)

‘Reference’ please select from the following-

NEPAL EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY APPEAL -

Devastation in Nepal

Just before midday local time (approx. 4pm AEST) on Saturday 25th April, Nepal suffered one of the worst earthquakes to hit a populated area in living memory.  To put this in perspective, the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand in 2011 was a 6.2 magnitude. The Nepal earthquake has led to at least 2,500 people confirmed dead, the destruction of countless homes and buildings and has left many people sleeping on the streets in freezing temperatures. Anglican Board of Mission has earmarked $10,000 in order to provide emergency relief for those affected. ABM is working through ACT Alliance members a network of Churches

around the world providing Aid to the world's poorest, in order to provide emergency relief. ABM's Executive Director, the Rev John Deane, said, "This (Nepal) is one of world's poorest nations substantially due to its ruggedness and the task of rebuilding will be massive and take years." Please help ABM support the people of Nepal by donating and spreading the word. www.abmission.org/nepal-emergency  Please pray for the earthquake victims, and all who are helping in the relief effort.
This year we seek to be changed as we listen to God in prayer
