GONG MEN’S DAY
We’re getting the lads together for God’s word and a great gathering! Saturday morning 5th June at Dapto. Special guest speaker: Andrew Heard. Save the date. Not to be missed.
NEW GIVING BUDGET AND TARGET
Our Parish Council decided to increase our budget and target to fund a new staff position. Our new budget is $4,100 per week, and our new target is $4,600. We praise God that we’ve already reached the new budget in March, and that we’re half way to the new target!
NEW OPERATIONS MINISTER
Our Parish Council decided this week that we’re going to invite an ‘Operations Minister’ to join our team in the coming months. Pray we find the right person and that we can raise the funds to support them.
DINNER AND COFFEE MONEY
We’ve decided not to collect cash for dinner or coffee anymore, but to cover the costs from the general giving. Enjoy!
