Join us at 12.00 noon for soup and rolls  Guest Speaker The Reverend Ken Rogers; Ken is an Anglican Priest who retired from Foster in October 2006 to live in Forest Hill, Melbourne.

His interest and involvement in the Mission to Seafarers stretches over twenty years and he currently serves on the Board in Melbourne. Ken is looking forward to sharing with us on Sea Sunday.

Thank you to all our knitters – we have collected 14 hand-knitted beanies to warm the heads of seamen who are far from home and need to know that someone cares enough to lovingly knit for them.
MISSION NEWS
               A colourful poster has arrived from the Bible Society featuring people and partnerships around the world, as representatives from many nations meet in Sydney to share in the most significant event in our Bible Society calendar-the Roundtable  Exchange. This will be part of the celebrations of  200 years of Bible Society work around the world and your donations have helped so many people to own a Bible, THANK YOU. There are still so many people who haven't heard God's word or don't have access to the printed scriptures. Can we give a donation to help  spread the Word? Last year, with your help, the Bible Society movement undertook more than 800 projects which are likely to reach over 500 million people with God's word, BUT, more than 500 projects didn't go ahead because the money ran out. Do have a look at the poster, I'm sure you will find it of interest.
