A second Worship Service in English catering for youth and young families is to be launched in February using the Brick Hall. Items needed for the new congregation including a data projector, sound system, musical instruments, chairs, song books, prayer books etc. Talk to a Warden if you would like to contribute in the purchasing of the above mentioned items. Please pray for God’s guidance as we are looking for gifted young people to help in the setting up and leading of the services. Consider giving a gift to St Mark’s Church in your will. Your children & others share in your hope. Thank you. We collect used Postage Stamps for Anglican Board of Mission as a fund raising project.

It was a very personal experience. But Mark lets us into this secret from the beginning as we walk with Jesus to the crucifixion. Pray that we may see our own baptism as commissioning for ministry in the name of Christ. Pray for the Anglican Church of Australia, giving thanks for all that is done in the twenty-three dioceses of our Church to further God’s mission in the world.
