John and Kaye Kerr
On the 16th of November 1963. John and Kaye Kerr (Nee Breuer) were married at St Andrews Kirk in Ballarat, Victoria
They then started their life on John's Family Property, "Kerrdale". Many years later, they moved to Sunny Queensland to take up residence and join our merry band of parishioners.
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 sell well. If parishioners could bring them to the Uniting Church on the morning of the fair, and mark the sticker with the baking date, ingredients, and price, it would be a big help. As always, you can contact Sue Morbach at: 0416 339 972 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.
As always, these items should NOT be wrapped so Anglicare can confirm they are age appropriate!!
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
Sunday Roster - There are vacancies in the following duties that are always in need of being filled. Sunday Services, both 7.30am and 9.30am. AV Operators, Welcomers, Sidepersons and Intercessors are needed. Interested persons are asked to contact Margaret Peterson on 07 5497 6978
Name Badges - If you would like a new name badge, there is a list in the narthex. Please print your name clearly on the list. The cost is $12 per badge, which can be paid when you receive your badge using the "return" envelope and placing your payment in the gifting box in the narthex. Badges will be ordered at the beginning of each month when needed
Donations - There is a box of envelopes in the narthex (with a pen) for use by anyone wishing to give money in the giving box for specific reasons e.g. Retiring Collections, payment for attending functions, purchase of items such as calendars, etc. Please, please, write on the envelope what the money is for, your name and the amount.
