Nanga Report:

This year we played with making bread, and I mean, played.  Everyone got their hands sticky, flour got everywhere. We watched an array of beautiful images of bread and bread-making to the sound of Pavarotti and Sting singing in duet "Panis Angelicus" or "Bread of Angels/Heaven". We were asked to work, in our groups, to find any meaningful METAPHORS in "give us this day our daily Bread" from The Lord's Prayer.

There were many magical times, like Kristin and Nathan's renewal of their wedding vows, Noah creating their own Trinity, ankle deep in the river, with Peter being his magical best; the intimacy that was palpable between Peter and Oliver, inches apart through the whole of our Sunday service; the children allowing/ welcoming us into their world; the laughter and teasing in the kitchen as magical food was prepared - even the suds of the washing up seemed to hold us in some kind of charm.
I'm very very happy to have made it to Nanga this year. Maggie B.

Snowlands Light of Education School - Nepal

Part of our commitment to helping the children at the school is to provide day's outing and picnic. With 160 children this becomes quite a task and involves four buses and a mountain of food. It is one of the few occasions in the year that the children also have meat to eat.
If you would like to contribute to this project please give your offering to Peter or EFT direct to the IGWR[In Giving We Receive] account:

A bank account has been established (with Anglican Community Fund) for donations...

Truth (as opposed to Political Spin)


The total capacity of the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground [MCG] is approximately 100,000. By Australian standards that’s a good crowd, but by no means is it a very large number of people compared with our population. With that number in mind consider the political spin associated with the “large numbers” of “boat people” coming to our shores. The highest annual arrival rate was in 2001 (and that was a record): 5000 arrived!
At that rate it would take 20 years to fill the MCG with ‘boat people’

Significant Movements


We have received a bequest of $30,000 from the estate of Eddie Vagg. This is a significant milestone in the life of the St Paul’s community and illustrates a growing generosity toward the sustainable life of the parish. We give thanks for all who contribute toward the ongoing life and ministry of St Paul’s.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Church Council has considered a commitment to install solar power on the Hall and rectory roofs.... We are hoping to convert the St Paul’s precinct to solar energy so that in future we will have no power bills and will in fact earn money from power that we contribute to the grid. Any parishioners considering the same move please let Ronny know as there is a scheme whereby the Church will receive “extra panels for any installations associated with this initiative. The initial cost is obviously quite considerable – and again if you would like to contribute to this initiative please let Ronny know what you are able to donate.

USED STAMPS
Rotarians in this country have been collecting them for 30 years, the sale of which helps to provide food for the Third World. Over 5 million stamps are sent from Australia each year.
The money goes through Oxfam in England and gives aid to various countries in Africa. Some is sent to the Rotary Club in Chennai ( formerly Madras ) where it is helping to build a new Hospital and also a new Primary school, in a very depressed area.
It doesn’t cost you anything, so please collect your used stamps and give them to Ruth. It is an immensely worthwhile thing to do and helps to continue the success of this project.

The Anglican Diocese of Perth is keen to help parishes reduce their carbon emissions with Solar Power. To assist Parishes they have established a business relationship with “Unlimited Solar” who are able to offer what appear to be good deals to parishes for both Church buildings and parishioners homes. If you are interested contact Michael Jessup.

Home Groups.... are a delightful way of offering hospitality and sharing hospitality. They can also give us a chance to meet regularly to look at questions of faith and to share our unfolding Christian journey.

All that we have is what we share: St Paul’s receives no income that it does not create itself:
In the busyness of our day-to-day living it is so easy to be caught up in our own affairs. Making time to serve each other, and to sow the seeds of a New Creation can sometimes be relegated to a desire that comes to life on Sunday mornings. In our financial giving we support each other in and through the ministry of the Church. Our regular commitment, like regular prayer, provides us with a framework in which to gain a perspective on everything we do, Please take time to reflect on that which you give to the common and that which you contribute to the life and future of the church, for it is our dependence on each other that gives us strength and hope.
“whenever we have an opportunity, let us work
for the good of all” Gal 6:10

Keep Sharing; it does make a difference Consecration service: We received many messages of support from those who could not attend, including: Dale Appleby, Brian & Kate McGowan, Jozina, Theo & Alison, Lynne Eastoe, Joe Newbold, Bryan Shattock. A reminder that many are a part of the story that we continue to write.

Some comments about the Chapel via the internet

  • Our chapel this morning at sunrise with the full moon in attendance
  • She is beautiful, but then so are all those who participated in any way large or small
  • an afternoon of community with a capital C.
  • How great was that, can see the future which involves regular, community use of an incredible space.
  • Singing and acoustics were wondrous.

PARKING: We apologise for the inconvenience as we shape the precinct to create more parking. Please be patient and be mindful of the following guidelines...
1. Parking on the South-side of the church should provide for two rows of cars. One close to the church and the other close to the house on 166 Hampton Rd, leaving a wide central drive for movement and for reversing.
2. Parking in front of the church should be left for those who have difficulty in parking further away and those with disabilities
3. We no longer have the ability to drive up the rectory drive and then out via the south driveway.
4. Parking in the upper area alongside the hall is restricted due to landscaping works

Savings Accounts
Anglican Community Fund offers a number of everyday transactional accounts as well as high interest accounts to really help your savings along.
Giving Plus+ Account
Giving Plus+ is a unique and innovative account that allows clients to assign their right to receive interest on their savings to the Anglican Parish or Agency of their choice. The Giving Plus+ Account is an excellent way to support the Church whilst clients retain savings in their own name.
Nominated Parishes and Agencies are supported by the regular interest contribution, whilst clients have the security and piece of mind that their deposit is held with, and supporting, ACF. These are just two ways in which your deposit benefits the work of the Church.
As Anglican Community Fund is exempt from deeming the Giving Plus+ Account may also benefit pensioners.
Giving Plus+ is another way the Fund is giving back to the Anglican Community.

Achievable Economics – Peter H
(an extract from my observation of the school here in Kathmandu)
The annual accounts for last year (ending July 15th) showed the total running costs the school as… 4200,000Rps or US$56,000……. That is……. US$4,660 per month
To run a boarding school…. Including rent of premises, all teaching/admin staff…. All food, bedding, clothing, health care…. EVERYTHING….
For 160 Children
This poses a real question for the ‘developed’ nations of the world..
WHY ARE WE NOT EDUCATING, FEEDING and HOUSING ALL CHILDREN EVERWHERE…..? WHY are we not sharing…. And giving more?
As well as asking a question to search the soul of humanity it also illustrates an enormous potential…….With a ‘little’ a lot can be achieved…….It shows that WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
 +++++++++++++++++++++++

PLEASE BE CAREFUL
Parking, Security, Safety all will need attending to as the building work progresses…. And as we Change, Move, Relocate and Re-Create so too we will need some patience as we tread on each other’s toes at times

Access to the Church
We only have access to the Church via the front door….. There is a combination Key safe under the padlock – Ronny has details of the access code, so if you need access to the church please see Ronny (Monday mornings and Thursdays) and she will give you details of how to get in.

Signs of Global HOPE…

  • “Germany…. a nation renowned for its car industry now has more people employed in the renewable energy sector than in the automotive sector”
    “…with German lawmakers last month approving a plan to put a million electric cars on German roads by 2020”
  • “ In June, a report from the United Nations Environment Program advised that last year investment in new power generation capacity from renewable energy technologies was more than investment in fossil-fuelled technologies”
  • “China is now the world’s biggest producer of renewable energy, and is planning far more renewable than nuclear”
  • “Australia – with arguably the world’s best resources in almost every category of biomass, geothermal, solar, wave and wind – has been lagging behind in the scale of investment and in the strength of commitment”

Global Credit Crisis… The Way Ahead
It is becoming more obvious each day (except to our Politicians & Bankers) that the way forward is not to get back into the routine that created the crisis…..
The way ahead is NOT the continuing investment in Self……. But rather in sharing and creating the wealth of the common…. investing in community……
NOW is the time to look again at …
1. Investing more in realizing our East End Project… Building a new framework for the future
2. Helping to establish the “St Paul’s & Beyond FOUNDATION”… investing in the proposed unit development that is aimed to create a ‘foundation’ for future sustainable ministry in this community.
3. Increasing our “weekly/monthly” GIVING… to enable new initiatives HERE…. And to enable us to appreciate that “It is in GIVING that We RECEIVE”

Giving made easy

St Paul’s Foundation
As we continue to plan for the development of six units as part of the St Paul’s heritage precinct, so too we are establishing a “Foundation”, a not-for-profit trust, that will facilitate the on-going life of the new residential community AND that will manage the ‘profit’ from the sales of the units for the ongoing ministry of St Paul’s…. The ‘Foundation’ could provide US with funds to reach out and to “shine as a light in the world”… It could also provide us with a sustainable base on which we can build new ministries…..
Two ways in which ALL can be involved in this new initiative…
1. There are limited opportunities to invest in the two remaining units for sale…. This investment can be a full purchase of the unit or a request to have shares in one of the units……
2. When established the “Foundation” will be open to donations and bequests from those who which to support the extending of our ministry into the wider community……..

Investing in a Sustainable Future
Beaconsfield has changed over the years…. From humble beginnings we are now part of lifestyle community that has many advantages over the much of the ‘suburban’ metropolitan spread…..
The Median House Price for Beaconsfield is now $750,000, the average rental in Beaconsfield is $390 per week……. And with the projected increase in energy costs, a coastal life style and access to the City of Fremantle is likely to attract more and more into our wider community…
The presence of St Paul’s in the heart of the Beaconsfield community continues to call the wider community to an acknowledgement of “all that is Good” ……. And as we Build on our foundations, so too we renew and re-create the very presence of the Divine in this place.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

St Patrick’s Cathedral Parramatta
A delightful story of rebuilding a church….. So like our story and full of inspiration….. As WE “Re Build” St Paul’s we should be awake to the Divine Work that we are doing together….

PARKING
There is and will be some inconvenience as we get the various building projects underway.....Please consider parking either at the Ed Department on the corner of Hampton and Lefroy, or over by the Shell service station.... Keeping the top carpark for those who need to be close.
Please DO NOT PARK on the Driveway between the Church and the rectory, or in front of the garage.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

SUSTAINABILITY….
Please consider including the St Paul’s Community as a beneficiary in your will… Much of the major restoration work undertaken by Churches around the world is achieved via bequests… When you consider the future demands of our community, it is easy to appreciate how we would all benefit from such bequests.

The Lord’s Prayer
To give us the opportunity to reflect on this prayer, the prayer will be ‘restated’ by the Liturgical Assistant after we have joined together in sharing the prayer during the service. It also provides us with a reminder (or with permission) to revisit our traditional understandings… and to see the ancient wisdom of our tradition in a contemporary context.

Sacred Space, Liturgy & our Community @ Worship
As we seek to offer our best in worship these guidelines may be helpful.

1. Silence before worship enables us to be ‘gathered’ into the introit sung by the choir
2. Conversations with others are often our way of avoiding those more divine words that search for us.
3. The sanctuary ‘space’ is ‘held’ by those who lead our worship; please keep to a minimum any movement in this space and, at the end of our service, please wait until the choir have finished singing before entering.

Refugee support
While government acceptance of refugees has dropped off in recent times, refugees already in WA are sponsoring family members so that quite large numbers are still arriving. And, as you might imagine, they need to make huge adjustments in their lives and need considerable support to become functioning members of our society. Various members of the St Paul’s community have been and still are involved in refugee support activities, and we have been contacted by CARAD (Coalition for Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Detainees) to see if we want to become volunteers (they provide training) and/or to form a refugee support group under their umbrella. Several of us are interested and we would like to know of any others who might like to join us. Please talk to Angela Wilson or Lyn Sherwood, or email Laurel Ellis at laurmike@iinet.net.au.
