Welcome

to the website of St. John’s, Gordon.

Crikey, February all ready, where does the time go!!?

This months theme is on New Beginnings. We decided on this because this is the month we really start our children at School, new jobs are usually started, and quite frankly, we are finally over the slowdown of January.

Here at St. Johns we also have some new beginnings. This Thursday (7th) at 10.00am we commence our new Play Group. This is open to all, and we have for the first time multi language equipped people to help with the diversity of people who are now in our suburb. Everyone is welcome. We also commence on the 15th at 10.30am our English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. If you know someone who might benefit from such a class please feel free to inform them of this new beginning.

At the end of this month we will be holding a Special Vestry Meeting to discuss stage two of the Organ Project. This is open to parishioners only, and those who have received communion (3 times) in the last 12 months here at St. Johns. If you are such a person can I please encourage you to come to the meeting to listen, ask your questions and if necessary vote on the various proposals.

Please also note, that for young families Sunday School is now operating again. This takes place at the 9.30 am Service. I am very excited about what is going on in the parish and I do hope that you might be encouraged to make contact with us if you do not already attend. You will find a welcoming community of faith.

I do hope that you will look through the web site, there are new sermons. I am still working on my new blog, and I am hoping that the blogs will be a bit more regular this year.

With Epiphany blessings to you all.

PARISH PRAYER
written by our former Rector, Father Bill Weston

God our Father, send your Holy Spirit upon the people of this parish.  Give us a greater love for all.  Make us more compassionate for the sick, the lonely and all in need, more zealous in the inspiration of the young, more concerned about the wider mission of the Church and more generous in our giving of service and money.  Help each one of us to know what we ought to do and give us strength and courage faithfully to do it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen
