CHRISTMAS STALL - A Christmas Stall will be run on Sunday 1st December following the combined 10.00am service and before the Parish Christmas Lunch. The stall will have a Christmas theme with Christmas goodies and craft available for sale. To make this stall a success we do need keen bakers and craft makers to assist in donating their talents. We would be grateful of any types of cakes, biscuits, slices or confectionary. If each baker could make just one item, it would go towards making the event a success. We are also needing jams, chutneys, pickles and preserves. A list of ingredients will be required for each baked and cooked item. For craft we would love any sewn, knitted, crotched, cross-stitched items, cards, decorations, artwork, woodwork, etc. which would be suitable for Christmas gifts. We will also be having a raffle with tickets available now. We need help to make this work so if you have a talent and can donate an item it would be greatly appreciated. For more information please contact Debbie Eustace 0413 027 349 or Lorraine James 0427 120 378.
EMPTY CHRISTMAS TREE – Since 2013 parishioners of St. Peter’s have very generously given over 1,000 gifts to Anglicare Caboolture for children in foster care in our region. This year we will again be collecting gifts which can be wrapped with a tag stating the recommended child age for the gift. You are welcome to give gifts unwrapped. We will be focussing on children aged from 3 – 17 years. Could I please request that only new gifts be given, no pre-loved, as this may be the only present the child will receive. Until the Christmas Tree goes up on Advent Sunday (1st December), gifts may be left in the marked tub in the narthex.
BIVCHAI- Bribie Island community transport is now trialling ON ISLAND transport for customers to get to doctors/ medical appointments. If this is supported in the community, it will become long-term. If you are not a current customer and if eligible, don't hesitate to get in touch with My Aged Care 1800 200 622 to register with the Commonwealth Home Support Programme Service formally. For further service details, please get in touch with Bribie Home Assist - Transport on 07 3408 0111.
