Christian Community Gathering at the RB Hall

by Margaret Missen and Chappy Ronnnie

Good Shepherd Anglican Church, Carlo Road and St Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church, Manooka Drive. Please check the monthly calendar at the back of the paper for service details.

The Rainbow Beach Christian Community will be holding a monthly family afternoon at the Community Centre from 4-6pm, commencing on Sunday 5 October. This will be a time for local families to get to know each other better with the more energetic enjoying a game of soccer.

Afternoon tea, a short encouraging message and a sausage sizzle will be provided. Everyone is invited to come along and bring ideas for future activities. For further information, please contact Chappy Ronnie on 0413 135 867.

Changes to the Good Shepherd Church interior The new seating is in place! This change from pews to individual seating is significant to more traditional church members. However, one prominent resident was heard to remark: “I will miss the old pews because I found it a little more difficult to doze while sitting on them.” (tongue in cheek we hope!)

Best wishes and congratulations to our friend Marie Casey, who by now will be Marie Parker. She and Graeme Parker tied the knot at Tin Can Bay on the 23rd of September.   Our prayers go with you both. May you have many happy years together.

Craft Club at Rainbow Beach School Every Thursday in the school library up to 35 children crafted a bird in a cage, name banners, a Father’s Day card and door hangers last term.

Operation Christmas Child Thank you to Rainbow Beach families and students who filled shoe boxes with small gifts for children overseas. If you have any last minute items that you would like to donate, please contact Chappy Ronnie on 0413 135 867.

Kindly remember in your prayers our community members who are ill or facing difficulties. Also pray for the leaders of our country that they may be gifted with the wisdom needed to meet the challenges that face our nation. God Bless!
