Eva’s Place
There is no more critical time than an unplanned or challenging pregnancy when she needs LOVE, hope, compassion and support. Without discovering Eva’s Place, how will she know that it is possible to find solutions that will allow both her and her baby to flourish? Will you be one of 250 households to give $100???? Whether She lives in Toowoomba, Dalby or Kingaroy, your end of financial year tax-deductible investment will unlock the work of Eva’s Place so that She is supported to be her best, to love and nurture her baby. www.givenow.com.au/evasplace

Prayers for the Week
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; that they may act wisely.
· For the Church, LCAQD; for the continued preaching of the gospel and the right administration of the sacraments
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Paul Smith; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; parish workers, youth workers, elders, pastoral assistants, leaders in the church, and all those who help bring the gospel to a world where people are blinded by popular opinion and cannot see the truth
· For our nation's leaders - the Queen, her representatives, the parliaments, the prime minister and cabinet, and departments, the opposition and the whole system of government
· For all Christians throughout the world who are persecuted for their faith
· For those living close to or below the poverty line; the homeless, the unemployed, pensioners, students, Indigenous people
