Combined churches celebrate Petnecost

A Trip Through the Apocalypse

Robert Brittain’s “24 Images of John’s Apocalypse” was commissioned and blessed at a special worship service at the Wembley Downs Church of Christ this morning. Emeritus Professor Reverend William Loader was present to address the gathering on the background and relevance of the book as a “text of hope.”
Rosemary Hunter, lecturer in art history, spoke of the critical elements of imagination, emotion and order that were consistently portrayed through Mr Brittain’s work, emphasising a positive message of ultimate reconciliation.

World Labyrinth Day

labyrinth 2013It only took 20 minutes to lay out just now. All that was needed was a paved area and 2 x 50m rolls of masking tape. World Labyrinth day is all day tomorrow and a number of more permanent labyrinths around Perth will be open. This one, weather permitting, should last about 5 or 6 weeks.

CARAD waiting list grows

The Coalition for Asylum Seekers Refugees and Detainees was established to fill a gap when there were no services available to refugees who were released into the community. Many were condemned to live on the streets with little income and local knowledge. CARAD began as a group of volunteers to help with food, housing, health and education.

CARAD has now run out of funds to help while the need becomes more pronounced as the weather grows colder.

Blankets, warm clothing and funding ideas would be of immediate help.
