Wayne’s last Sunday at Christ Church will be 27 June. Covid restrictions permitting – this will be a combined 10am service followed by lunch. RSVPs to admin@ccd.org.au or 9551 7871 are required for the lunch.

Wayne’s commencement at the Parish of St Michaels and All Angels Beaumaris will be marked by a commissioning there on the evening of Weds 11 August 7pm. All are welcome to attend. (RSVP to the CCD office is again required for this event)

Kids’ Hope Mentors Needed
Would you love the opportunity to come alongside a young person and encourage them through developing a significant friendship? Who would believe that one hour a week could mean so much to a child?  Yet it does, and so also for those who mentor them. Training will take place in June, so please do not waste any time in letting Tanya know of your interest.

Silent Auction
In support of the work of ‘Hands at Work-Africa’ in Baraka we are holding a Silent Auction to be concluded at Wayne’s farewell.
Items of genuine value and interest are invited to be provided or sourced by the congregation to contribute to this auction. Currently, our prime exhibit is a delectable Hamper of Honey generously provided by Paul Fong Lip. (See picture)
Bids may be made by email or phone to the office. All proceeds go to the work at Baraka.

Great viewing during Lockdown
For those who have not yet discovered it, the largest crowdfunded project of all time is the current serialized movie production of Jesus’ life called ‘The Chosen’. With seven seasons of eight episodes each planned, it is now five episodes into Season Two and an absolute joy to watch. Faithful to the spirit and character of Jesus and the gospels it supplies a creative back story to the familiar events in an utterly authentic historic and cultural setting. The Chosen is a breath of fresh air and grace. (Google ‘The Chosen TV Series’)

Pleasant Tuesday 8 June 2pm – if no lockdown!
