News from St Luke’s

By Di Ayscough

Our Car Boot sale held on 11 March proved to be a great day. The prediction for very inclement weather did not happen and we were very thankful.

It was a day of meeting new people, selling, sharing our goods, finding a bargain or winning one of the raffle prizes. If you came along, or supported St Lukes in any way we offer our sincere thanks. The maintenance fund for our church has been substantially boosted.

As part of the traditions of the Anglican church we are now in the 40-day period of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday. This period is a time when Christians reflect and prepare for the celebration of Easter. Some people fast, give up treats or even give to a charity. Have you given anything up?

My confession is, I have not given up things such as my favourite foods or beverages. However, I do enjoy my early morning walks where I am alone and can talk to God, share in the beauty of my surroundings and really be thankful for all I have.

Easter is not about chocolates or Hot Cross Buns, but being together with family and friends can be very rewarding.

It is a time to reflect and renew our relationship with God.

This month will also see our “Little Lukies” take a break during the school holidays.

It is so good to see such an enthusiastic group of children and adults gather together each week for fun, food and fellowship.

Later this month we will also remember the Anzacs and those who have protected our country throughout the various wars. St Luke’s will distribute Anzac biscuits again this year in recognition of our appreciation of those who served.
