Stewardship Reflection

“My God will supply whatever you need…” - PHILIPPIANS 4:19 

God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are sceptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are sceptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time in prayer, talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God provides for your needs. We pray that we learn to depend on God to supply for our all needs.

Caritas Carnival - Let's Go Further Together

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor." (Luke 4: 17)
What a wonderful event!  Thank-you to the families who supported our carnival this year. The total amount raised was $913.  This will be presented to Caritas Australia as they continue to support the work in Food Security, Emergency Relief and Education Programs.

Plenary Council 2020: Listen To What The Spirit is Saying

The six themes that have been discerned as 17,000 peoples’ responses to the question ‘What is God asking of us in Australia at this time?’ are now published in six booklets offered for our reflection.  You are encouraged to explore these booklets online.

Theme 5: 

HOW IS GOD CALLING US TO BE A CHRIST-CENTRED CHURCH IN AUSTRALIA THAT IS                                 

A Joyful, Hope-Filled & Servant Community? 

Australia has been blessed with great natural beauty, an abundance of resources, democracy, peace and prosperity. It is a land that prizes freedom, equality and egalitarianism, a ‘fair go’ and mateship. However, mental illness, sickness, loneliness, family or financial pressures afflict many Australians. Many lack the hope and joy that are features of a good life. Fear of the future and a distrust of institutional authority are part of the social reality for significant numbers. Climate change is making extreme the Australian cycles of drought, fire and flood, threatening lives, homes and livelihoods.
