"It’s amazing the amount of donations coming our way"
A quick note from Dot Saunders: The story I began at the Dementia session organised by the Mothers Union is now complete. My cousin Robin Champney died on Saturday afternoon. Kevin and I were sitting with her, and I was holding her hand as she peacefully took her last breaths. I consider it a privilege to have walked this Dementia journey with her for the past 7 years.

Hope25 is an opportunity for us to share the hope that we have in Jesus. It is an intentional season of sharing hope in Jesus for every parish and community in the Anglican Church of Australia. The dates will be Easter Day (April 20) to Pentecost Sunday (June 8) 2025.
Each parish is invited to prayerfully commit to doing (at least) one new activity to share the hope that we have in Jesus during this season. Every parish is encouraged to form a parish Hope25 team who will receive step by step encouragement via the monthly Hope25 email list.
For more information, see the Hope25 website, where you can sign up for the email list: https://www.hope25.com.au/
