Dear All,
Please note the following (7) announcements and reminders:
1. Weekly Spiritual Message
Spiritual message for the week by Father Mark:
Has Jesus ever appeared to you? During these holy 50 days we focus on the many appearances of the Risen Lord in Scripture. If you read the scripture accounts, you should find at least 12 times of such appearances. There were probably many more not documented. These eyewitness accounts cannot be denied โ one of them was to over 500 people at once.
However, itโs not just His appearances that are significant, itโs also His disappearance that is of significance. Jesus appeared to the two disciples on the Emmaus road but He also disappeared from them. Letโs take a closer look: โNow it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.โ
Saying goodbye is always hard. Jesus didnโt even say goodbye. He just vanished.
Why does Jesus disappear? and more importantly, why at that moment?
That moment was a critical one. He vanished after He took bread, blessed and broke it. Jesus is pointing to the way in which He would always remain and be present among themโฆin the Eucharist. They may not have realised it, but this was the answer to their request โ STAY WITH US. In every Liturgy, He answers this request of STAY WITH US. Saying โI am with you always, even to the end of timeโ.

6. New bins at church
As God continues to bless the growth of our congregation, the more cleaning we need to do around Church.
To help manage our waste, you will notice we have new bins in certain locations around Church.
We want to promote recycling using the yellow bins- where cardboard, and paper go.
We have also brought in Purple bins, which are called return and earn bins, so for every can or bottle with a 10c sign on it that we put in a purple bin, we receive 10c from the council which will go towards St Wanas Charity.
As well as two coffee bins to dispose of the coffee cups and liquid
We need to work together as a community, to teach our children how to care of their house- the house of God and to look after the environment and country we live in. We urge you to please help us, because we can only do this together.
