Please be aware that, on 6 November, children will need to stay inside the church building with parents during the Eucharist. Winnie Talanoa and Bishop David will join us that day as our guests. ALL SAINTS DAY All Saints Day is always on 1 November. It is a day to remember all the saints who have gone before us in faith, and to remember that, as Christian people, we are all saints. This year we will observe All Saints Day on 30 October. The Intercessions on All Saints Day are traditionally replaced with a litany of the saints. Anglicans do not pray to the saints, but we do ask the saints, living and dead, to pray for and with us. In the two weeks leading up to All Saints Day, you are invited to write the name of saint (or two) that you would like to be named in the litany.

NCLS - Sunday November 20 Every five years the Churches of Australia spend fifteen minutes completing a survey. From the results, each congregation receives a profile pack which can be used as a source of information to build on strengths and also outlines how a church may have changed since the last survey. The Diocese is able to compare NCLS data with Census data to help with long-range planning.
