CONNECTEDNESS
BOOK CLUB St Cuthberts Book Club meets monthly - with a delicious supper and some wine to help along the discussion! The next meeting will be Tuesday 8 November at the home of Vicki Mizen, 17 Lindsay Place, Glen Forrest. Our next book is Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende. If youd like to read ahead well be watching the movie or discussing the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett at the meeting on Tuesday 6 December. For more information please speak to Jill Mackenzie or contact the Parish Office. LAY PASTORAL MINISTERS Our Parish has never had a licensed Lay Pastoral Minister (LPM). According to the Diocesan Pastoral Handbook, an LPM is a layperson authorised by the Archbishop to conduct any lay ministry on behalf of a parish. This might include: conducting services (e.g in a Nursing Home); preaching on occasion; pastoral visiting; conducting a ministry program; formally representing the parish or; leading a community project. LPMs are officially licensed by the Archbishop of Perth and are required to undergo criminal and child protection checks. During 2012, it is hoped that ministry leaders in our parish may be discerned and licensed as Lay Pastoral Ministers.

FORMATION
STORYTELLING WORKSHOP, Monday 17 October 7.30pm For the whole of Jewish and Christian history, the faith has been transmitted by storytelling. Long before bulky bibles and wordy websites, people passed the faith to the next generation by repeating stories until they were embedded in peoples spirit. At the 10am Eucharist, we are taking the time to tell bible stories to our children, and inviting them to respond to thstory. This workshop will teach you how to tell a biblical story, whether publicly or privately. CLAIM THE DATES: THE GREATEST PRAYER Mondays 14, 21, 28 NOVEMBER @ 7.30pm In the lead-up to Advent, Father Chris will be presenting three sessions of teaching and discussion based on The Greatest Prayer: Rediscovering the Revolutionary Message of the Lords Prayer.
