SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robyn and Clare ask interested people to spend a short time after the 10am service this morning to consider initiating a second Sunday School group for older youngsters. As numbers have grown each week, the ladies ask for a ‘brainstorm’ to look at ways of responding to this growth.


Ross Hill-Brown will be taking part in the 40 Hour Famine which be from 8.00 pm on 20/08/10 to 12.00 pm on 22/08/10. Other than for water and fruit juices Ross will have nothing else and he seeks sponsors to take part. The Forty Hour Famine is run by World Vision to raise funds for children from impoverished countries who do not get enough to eat. The area represented by the Mitcham Hills Interchurch Council last year raised enough money to help 600 children for a year and hopes to help 1000 this year. $40 raised helps six children for a month. If you want to know more, in the foyer there is a party pack containing a DVD which you can borrow." To 'break fast' the Forty Hour Famine will conclude at 12.00 hrs on 22/08/10 with a BBQ at the Hewitt Oval, next to the Hills Baptist Church, Coromandel Parade. Proceeds go to the Forty Hour Famine funds. So after your Cream Tea at church come along for a BBQ for your chance to take part in this major event. Pledges/donations for Ross Hill-Brown who is taking part in the famine, can be given to him on 22nd or at any time before 6/09/10."

Question Time’ event, TONIGHT at 7:30pm – Holy Innocents Anglican Church,
Basically, is God a greenie or does the creator just see the creation as a nice backdrop to the important stuff? Are we free to destroy the world while God looks on? And even if we are - should we? Got a question about God, faith and the environment? Then turn up and ask it! We’re really excited that our speakers will be: Rev’d Dr Lucy Larkin She has a PhD in Eco-Theology Rev’d Paul Hunt an evangelical priest with a biblical view Dr Greg Kerr Behavioural Ecologist & spider-hunter! Come along and listen, then contribute to discussing these questions from your own experience. I’m hoping that we can open up what we know about this in a way that sheds light.
QT happens at the Anglican Church in Belair. It’s an experiment in reaching out to meet the needs of our local community, aimed at discussing the big questions of life, faith and spirituality. It’s for people who like to think about issues and then ask difficult questions.
The ABM Lamington Drive is on again and there is a list in the foyer for names of people requesting orders. These must be in by 20th August, so place your name this week. Lamingtons are $9.00 per dozen.
