MARCH NEWS.

We have had a very generous response from the Parish community to help flood affected communities in northern NSW. Donations of cleaning equipment, portable butane stoves for cooking, tool kits, electrical accessories, water bottles, mops and buckets etc. Father Phillip is delivering all the goods to the ‘Volly Hub’ in Murwillumbah this week so that they can be distributed to those in need as soon as possible. We will ask them for an update of current needs. Many thanks to all.

On Shrove Tuesday we had a very successful Parish Pancake lunch in the hall. Savoury and sweet pancakes were on offer.

Meditation classes continue on Thursdays. Morning teas after the Wednesday and Sunday services are well attended.

ANGLICARE has a full range of activities in our hall.
On Monday, Lungs in Action. a gentle but helpful exercise class.
On Wednesdays, in the light of Palm Beach Pool closing for renovations, they are starting a new programme called Triple M (movement, mobility and mindfulness).
On Fridays there is a Seniors General Fit Club, a program focusing on exercise, coordination and having fun.
NB Parish members are welcome to attend but must have a My Aged Care referral.

The Parish Pantry continues to give food (and now hygiene items as well) to those in need.

The Choir has been busy with Friday practice under Claire’s guidance. There is even talk of a musical performance of Jerusalemma with line dancing later in the year.

Craft Group is well attended on 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesdays of the month under Jill’s expert guidance. We embroider, sew, knit, plan charity events and sometimes chat.

We love celebrating birthdays and June made a lovely cake for Betty’s 98th birthday this month. It was enjoyed with morning tea after the Sunday service.
We celebrated Noelle’s birthday at our recent craft group with celebration photo.
