You are welcome in this church family. Take time to share the friendship of others after worship, including tea and coffee, each Sunday


Love One Another As I Have Loved You

Here is the key
which will unlock
the obscure cause
truly unsearchable
since the ‘big bang’
brought time and space.

Here is the clue
which will reveal
the rich source
beneath faith and hope
and the true light
of every race.

Here is the crux
which will unveil
the driving force
of genes, stem cells
and the wonder
in each child’s face.

Here is the end
to which we rise
after remorse
and the omega joy
which is attained
solely by grace.

A Mother’s Love
There are times when only a mother’s love
can understand our tears,
can soothe our disappointments
and calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a mother’s love
can share the joy we feel
when something we’ve dreamed about
quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a mother’s faith
can help us on life’s way
and inspire in us the confidence
we need from day to day.

For a mother’s heart and a mother’s faith
and a mother’s steadfast love
were fashioned by the angels
and sent from God above.

Disciple 1 Group Bible Studies
Commencing in July. A number of people have expressed interest in commencing Disciple 1 studies - “Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study.”

This group will be meeting on a fortnightly basis as 2 participants live at Karana Downs. It is intended to have 2 meetings a month - one meeting at my place (River Hills) and 1 meeting at Karana Downs. No doubt, car pooling would be the best option when numbers are finalised.

To date, we have 3 members of the Anglican Church, Middle Park, 2 attending the Ipswich Catholic Church and myself. We would love more participants to join us in this journey of understanding more clearly what God is saying to us through His Holy Word.

If you are interested and would like to know more, please see me or phone.

Liz Bowering.
