LCA Story of the Week:
We may think of cross-cultural ministry as a relatively recent focus of the LCANZ. But that’s far from the case, as a joyful anniversary celebration held last month shows. It marked 150 years since Queensland’s first Scandinavian-language worship service.

Delicious and Delightful:
As a part of our continuing support for our wider community, our church would like to participate in our annual ‘Delicious and Delightful’ festival to be held on Saturday 27 August. After consulting with the ‘Delicious and Delightful’ committee, it is thought that we could run the children’s activity tent. As we haven’t had our usual Holiday Fun Time, we are hoping we could put our talents and resources into this event. We are looking for volunteers to:
· organize activities for in the tent
· supervise activities on the day
· sell tickets for jumping castle
The activities for the children will be craft related. The tent will be running from 12 midday through to approximately 6pm. We will have a rooster set up so even if you have one hour to spare, it will be greatly appreciated. Or maybe help prior to the event by organizing craft activities. It is thought that we could either wear our blue St Mark’s shirts or our HFT blue shirts (with something underneath them for winter!) We also need a few people to help coordinate this. Anyone interested in helping, please see Lois Strand or Cameron Brauer.
Creating Caring Communities
This short course aims to build a foundation to grow parishes as supportive communities. Many are unaware of actions and words that can cause others to feel excluded or not valued. Course Duration: 4 Sessions, each 3-4 Hrs
When: 30/07/22 – 20/08/22 (4 consecutive Saturdays)
There is a cost involved and interest in this can be directed to Barry Weier for more information.
Happy Birthday this week to:
Joseph Heintze (Sun today); Michael Johnson (Wed); Ben Conway (Sat);
Baptism Anniversaries:
Angela Gooderham; Steven Muller; Mackayla James;
If we missed your birthday or baptism anniversary, please contact Gayle at St Mark's church office
