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.
Tickets need to be purchased by this coming Sunday
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.

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/
Cleaning Rosters for next year - From Frankie
We seriously need a few more cleaners to add to our teams. Particular needs are a person to join Barbara Hyam in cleaning Cooinda.
One or two more people to join the "spot cleaning team" for the church.
One more brass cleaner would also be appreciated.
I would be delighted to hear from anyone who feels they may serve our community and The Lord in this way. They may contact me on 0407544259. Frankie Park
