THE TIN CAN BAY Anglican congregation, led by Lay Preacher, Mrs Lillian Lochel, is convening this year’s World Day of Prayer Service, which has been prepared by Christian women in Taiwan.
Our Cooloola Coast WDoP Service will be at 10am on Friday 3 March 2023 in the Cooloola Cove Veterans & Community Hall, corner of Nautilus Drive and Santa Maria Court, behind the Cooloola Cove Shopping Centre.
How topical that the country in focus for 2023 is Taiwan. We wonder if there is anyone here who is from Taiwan or has visited Taiwan? Last year’s focus was upon England, Wales and Northern Ireland, so it was easy to organise displays of memorabilia and other items of interest. Particular thanks to our Guest Speaker, Jacquie Cross.
The theme is ‘I have heard about your faith’ from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Christians in Ephesus. The Bible Reading is Ephesians 1:15 - 20.
We are indebted to the Cooloola Wesleyan Methodist congregation and to Reverend Gary McClintock in particular, for taking charge of music, sound and electronics, including the powerpoint presentation about Taiwan.
I know it’s going to be a very interesting, joyful morning, with scrumptious shared morning tea following the Service.
I love this annual opportunity for the various Christian congregations to gather, pray, and socialise together, sometimes in Rainbow Beach, occasionally in Tin Can Bay, and once again in Cooloola Cove.
With lots of people new-ish to the Cooloola Coast, we are looking forward to welcoming you on Friday 3 March.

MEMBERS OF THE Tin Can Bay Quilters returned for the new year on 10 January. It was a chance to catch up with friends and like minded people and to show off some of the beautiful projects that had been made over the Christmas break.
Gwen McKeon showed her quilt which consisted of thirty-six different blocks in pinks and blues, and Jo Page showed her table runner.
The Tin Can Bay Quilters meet every Tuesday from 9am to 12 noon in the Community Hall, Amity Place, Tin Can Bay.
All visitors are most welcome. Bring a cup as tea and coffee is available.
