MISSION FOCUS for March – the ABM Lent Appeal

During Lent we are encouraged to pray, fast and give alms. Prayer and fasting are the easier of these disciplines for us to achieve as they are part of our spiritual journey. To help us in our alms giving there will be an ABM envelope in the pew sheet during Lent ~ be encouraged to make a weekly donation by using the envelope and placing it in the collection bowl.

Word and the Words @ St Peter’s

Something a little slimmer is on the menu for March…. It’s Caroline’s choice, The Lost Art of Sleep by Michael McGirr. Available in NeutralBay, I am delighted to say!

The next book group meeting is the fourth Friday in March which is March 26. That day is Esme’s 81st birthday, so if you would like to join in her birthday bash from 6.30 pm, she would be delighted to see you there.

We will be pushing the boat out a bit for that one, and so I wonder if you could tell me if you will be if you plan to come, and what you might like to bring. Remember though you don’t have to bring anything, and you don’t even have to have read the book! My email is CHogan@churchresources.com.au, telephone 0429 219 184.
