A Message from Sue regarding the St Peter's Stall:
Confirmation has been received that the date for the stall will be on the morning of 14th November 2026
At the Bribie Island Uniting Church (as per above)
As always, baked goods are a good seller. If parishioners could bring them to the Uniting Church on the morning of the fair, marking on the sticker the date of baking, ingredients and price, this would be a big help. As always, you can contact Sue Morbach at: 0416225169 if you have any questions
Craft Makers:
Please keep this date in your calendar as well. All things Christmasy would be nice. Any extra items you wish to create would be lovely.
We are again supporting Anglicare with "The Empty Christmas Tree" this year
If you would like to drop in a gift or two, this would be wonderful. Please add "Boy or Girl" and the suitable age to your gift and drop it in to the office or leave it in the Vestry on Sundays.
We have been advised that, unfortunately second hand or handmade goods cannot be accepted this year due to department of Child Safety, Policy and Procedures. I understand this is difficult, especially for those who like to pass on handmade items
If you have any questions, please contact Murray in the office
A quick note from the office:
As many will be aware, we are in the process of updating the hot water system in the church kitchen. Due to the age of the hot water system, previous work completed has left us with 2 new gas bottles that were fitted and are now up for sale. If you are interested in 1 or both 9Kg bottles, approximately 2 months old, please drop an email or phone call to the office to discuss
A message from Di Thatcher:
We are looking for someone to join the Church Linen Roster for February 2027. This entails collecting the used communion linen after the 9:30 service from the Vestry on each of the four Sundays in
February. Once washed/ironed, the linen is returned to the Vestry the
following Sunday. If you would like more information, please see me.
Thank you for your consideration in this important ministry.

Please find a request from Frankie Park:
Frankie will soon be drawing up the cleaning roster for next year.
If anyone feels they could offer maybe half an hour three times a year to fill a spot on the roster, she would be very happy to hear from them. A generous donation from a parishioner enables us to pay for professional cleaning fortnightly of all the heavier duties. This roster fills a fortnightly spot of replenishing supplies, emptying bins and cleaning toilets to fill the gaps.
Please contact Frankie if you can assist.
Thank you,
Frankie Park frankiepark8@gmail.com 0407544259
