a note from the vicar

Seasons greetings to you all. It’s been a great start to the year with a huge amount of activity within both St Mic’s and the Chaplaincy at Victoria University. The parish Fair was a great success – lots of people and a record take (watch out for a slide show of the Fair which we plan to post on this page soon). Our DVD based Lenten series The Life of Jesus has been well attended (over 65 on some nights) and our evening Substance service has started well.

This Sunday is our AGM. It’s been a great year in almost all areas of parish life though many challenges remain. I’ll be posting my annual report on this site soon. For a wider view of our parish life visit the Welcome to SMK page or download our leaflet [600KB PDF].

Meantime, we have posted our Easter services below (click to enlarge the graphic). It would be great to see you at at least one of these.

Yours in Christ
Rev. David Newton

prayer books

There seem to be a number of prayer books missing from our shelves. We wish to make more use of these in our worship in 2010 so if you have a copy at home, please return it to the shelf. If you want to purchase a copy see the Vicar when he gets back.

opportunities for helping at st mic’s

If you are looking for a service role in St Mic’s there’s plenty on offer. There is always a need for caring people in the Sunday School ministry and the School Assist programme (previously branded Reading Recovery) will need more volunteers for 2010. We need to know well ahead of time as it is a requirement that Police checks are made on all helpers and this takes some months. So if you are keen to join either team or want to find out more, again, please email Loren Hockly at the church office (below).

The Sunday Service roster and flower and silver rosters still have some places to fill. We also need a Fair Coordinator for next year. Jane Silvester (who organized last year’s fair) will mentor this year’s coordinator.

These roles can be as creative as you want them to be and give you the chance of service both our parish and wider community. There are heaps more things that you can become involved with. Again, contact Loren if you are interested or want to find out more.
