Education for Ministry (EfM)
Ministry can be anywhere, any time, to anyone.
EfM gives us skills to express our faith in words and actions. In a safe group environment we share our faith journeys and reflect on issues from our studies, our ministries and our lives. The whole EfM programme takes four years to complete: students enrol for one year at a time.
Would you like to join us in our exploration?
Our EfM group will start again in February 2012, meeting weekly during term time. Note that there is an enrolment fee.
For further details contact Cathy Ridd on 6622 3597.
Help fill the ‘Act for Peace’ Christmas Bowl
Act for Peace empowers war-torn communities to reduce poverty, protect refugees and prevent further conflict. Australians who support Act for Peace’s Christmas Bowl appeal in 2011 will be helping to provide quality doctors and health workers in Kohistan, Pakistan, promote greater awareness of the importance of health care and hygiene and help women access the pre- and post-natal care they need.
The appeal begins 20th November and runs until 8th January.
You can contribute by using the Christmas Bowl envelopes (put in the offertory or send direct to Act for Peace); by any envelope marked ‘Christmas Bowl’ and placed in the offertory; or via a retiring offertory which will be available at some St. Andrew’s services.

As workers for Christ our challenge is to be ready to face him at any and every turn. This is a hard thing for our battle is not so much with sin or difficulties or circumstances, but by being so absorbed in the kingdom work that we lose sight of the One in whose name we labour.
