CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Last time we met, there were 12 children for Sunday School and so much activity that we nearly missed Communion A couple of issues arise, needing attention:
(1) If parents want their children in for Communion, please come and get them
(2) We need another table and four chairs for the Kids’ Corner in Church. Ikea has a setting for $100 – but second-hand may be the go. Do you have any suggestions?
Sunday School resumes on 18th July


Seventh Sunday after Pentecost – 11 July 2010
Who is my neighbour? A man I know told me a story recently. He watched people pass by a woman sitting near the footpath. He was amazed that no-one said hello. He stopped and said hello to the woman and her face lit up. In the gospel story today many people (of so-called ‘high’ social and religious standing) pass by someone in need. Who are the invisible people in our society? Or Who is my neighbour? Why is it that people become invisible? This week’s gospel reading challenges me to think about who is society’s ignored? The gospel challenges me to include, giving full attention, hearing and telling stories at the table, breaking bread and sharing the feast of God.
• Pray that those who are ignored by society, those who are homeless, and those who are mentally ill may be given full attention to, both by their individual and structural neighbours.
• Give thanks for the Anglican Church of Melanesia.
