PRAYER FOR THE NEW INCUMBENT
Bountiful God,
Give to this parish a faithful pastor
who will faithfully speak your word
and minister your sacraments;
an encourager who will equip our people for ministry
and enable us to fulfil our calling.
Give to those who will choose, wisdom,
discernment and patience
and to us give warm and generous hearts,
for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
Charity of the Month – January
CBM/Fred Hollows Foundation
The Fred Hollows Foundation has a very clear goal: to put an end to avoidable blindness. When this day
comes, people in developing countries will get the same quality eye care the rest of the world takes for
granted.
CBM is an International Christian development organisation devoted to improving the lives of people with
disabilities in the poorest places on earth. Poverty and disability go hand in hand creating a cycle of
inequality, isolation and exclusion that leads to the most extreme forms of poverty.
ANNUAL LEAVE: Rev’d Ingrid will be on holidays over the next two weeks. Wardens Judy Sperling
(0421 020 447) and Cathy Richards (0407 637 515) will attend to any incident arising. Thank you

Thought for the Day ……
MARK 1:14-20
Jesus is calling His disciples!
Let us reflect on our own calling.
When did we make the decision to follow Jesus?
Sometimes “The Call” can be so subtle that we don’t recognise that God is calling us!
Many of us hear God calling in the night!
Would we give up what we are doing to turn and follow Jesus the Christ?
Have we faithfully followed Jesus all our lives?
Have we surrendered our lives to Jesus?
Are we willing to follow, to change, to heal, to become who God would have us be?
To follow the call that is written on our hearts?
As we begin a New Year, let us reflect on these times in our lives!
In Jesus words “Come Follow Me!”
Blessings Deacon Di
Prayer of the Week
O God,
the strength of all those who put their trust in you:
mercifully accept our prayers,
and because through the weakness of our mortal nature
we can do nothing good without you,
grant us the help of your grace,
that in keeping your commandments
we may please you both in will and deed;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE NOMINATORS: The Nominators are seeking suggestions from the
parishioners, for potential priests’ names to be put forward in consideration for the position of parish Rector.
There are many parishes at present without a priest. This reflects the current difficult situation which is
making the search for a suitable priest a challenging one. Your assistance with names is valuable input for
the Nominators.
The Parish Nominators would like to inform the Parishioners, that since there doesn’t appear a suitable
Priest for our Parish available at present in our Diocese, we have spread our search further afield into other
Dioceses. Continue to pray for us please. Thank you for your support

DID YOU KNOW? There is a Maintenance Book placed on the back table at St Andrew’s
for you to record any minor maintenance jobs noticed on the church site.
Otherwise, please notify Rowena in the Office promptly, of urgent and/or dangerous
maintenance issues via email. Thank you.
LADIES WHO LUNCH:
With January racing away, and the tourists almost gone, Monday 25th seems to be
the day most suitable for the majority of ladies ….quite a few restaurants are closing
on that Monday and having the 2 day break for Australia Day …. Makes sense I guess
food-wise.
So ...join us to celebrate at least 6 birthdays … Heather, Jan, Marlene, Marg Liley,
Helene, Mary and don’t forget dear Jean Pennells … Meet at Pelican Waters Tavern
at Mid-day. Please email Val (kvfield@bigpond.com) if you plan to join us.
Bring a gold coin to donate to a worthy cause! The folk at Mallacoota are still waiting for their houses to be
built. Val
ST ANDREW’S LAs TRAINING SESSION: A reminder for LAs—There will be a training session
held at St Andrew’s on Saturday the 6 February 2021 beginning at 10am for LAs based at St
Andrew’s regardless whether the LAs fill duties on Sunday or do home communions during
the week. Thank you
THEOLOGICAL STUDIES: St Francis College has a wide variety of subjects
available for study in Semester 1, 2021 in the areas of Biblical Studies,

CALLING FOR ALL USED POSTAGE STAMPS:
The need for used postage stamps has not stopped. People used to leave stamps in a
box at the back of the church for collection however COVID-19 hit and for a while the
churches were closed. If you do physically attend worship at one of the Parish’s
centres please bring your used stamps. Alternatively, seal your used stamps in an
envelope to be dropped off into the locked greenbox adjacent to the front door of the Parish Centre for
collection. Your assistance to maintain the support of this worthy endeavour is most appreciated. Thank
you everyone Eric Nickelson

CONTACTING THE OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR: Dear Parishioners, the best method to contact the parish office
and to communicate with me is via email. I do have a hearing loss which means that certain tones of speech
are more difficult than others to hear clearly over the phone. Rephrasing sentences, speaking clearly at a
normal pace rather than rapidly all helps, though the best method to reach me is via email,
caloundra@anglicanchurchsq.org.au. Thank you for your thoughtfulness & consideration, Rowena
OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR: The office will open Mon-Fri 11am – 1pm for matters that need face to face
attention. The use of the collection box and locked green box adjacent to the front door of the Parish
Centre will continue to remain in use for items to be dropped off or collected. Thank you for your
assistance, Office Administrator
