This service resumes on Friday for 2020 – and this year will be each month on the first Friday of the month. Anyone is welcome.

Bishop Kate Prowd has called parishes in the Oodthenong Episcopate to pray for all those who have been affected by this summer’s fires, on Sunday 2 February at 5pm. This service is one of many taking place at the same time, as we join in prayer for comfort, healing and renewal.
Everyone is welcome.

Here is one way to offer practical support for those caught up in the ongoing bushfire disaster:

Anglicare Victoria are urgently seeking donations to support those who have been devastated by these bushfires.
Donations can help us provide emergency relief to people and families who are running out of supplies. Your donation today can help us provide the necessary support to those who need it most.

Visit https://www.anglicarevic.org.au/donation/bushfireappeal/ to find out more and make a donation.

Is this what you need at the moment? Half an hour of stillness, as we pray and long for Jesus to come into the needs of our lives and our world. Everyone is welcome: starting Wednesday 4 December.

Our final service of healing and wholeness for this year will be on Friday 6 December, 1pm at St Eanswythe’s. Come as you are – no burden is too big or too small to entrust to the love of God.

Come, Lord Jesus!
Advent is a season of preparing ourselves for Jesus to come into our midst, and for waiting and hoping for the coming of God’s kingdom on earth as in heaven.
There are many ways to enter more deeply into this season: here are a few online resources to explore:

• Advent in 2 minutes
• We Are Longing: daily Advent reflections (Common Grace)
• Songs from a Strange Land – an Australian Advent journey (Anglican Board of Mission)
• Advent Reflections (Anglican Overseas Aid)
• Advent Devotional: Peace on Earth (TEAR Australia)

Whatever shape it takes, may your Advent journey bring hope and blessing, and make you ready for the coming of Jesus.

This service is a chance to acknowledge before God our continuing love for those whom we see no longer. There will be readings, prayers, music and silence. Everyone is welcome.

Everyone is welcome this Friday, as we pray for ourselves and those we love: 1pm at St Eanswythe’s. Why not come beforehand and enjoy soup and sandwiches for lunch (from 12pm)?
