Their grant also subsidised

Indoor activities included
the climbing wall, disco
and Disco Bingo fun along
with craft, discussions and
worship based on the theme
and using the popular movie
“UP” as an aid. Our aim
was to encourage thinking
towards our goals in life,
the challenges in attaining
such, and the support
through faith that Christ
offers us on the journey.

t St John’s Anglican
Church Bairnsdale we
have enjoyed the recent inclusion of three children
with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in our worshipping
fellowship. Their presence and
desire to participate more fully are
encouraging us as a community
to become more “autism aware”.
As autism now effects at least
one in 80 people, and appears to be
on the rise, there is a good chance
that your church community is
also impacted by the presence
!"# $%&'# (!)# *+,# -./# 01!021#
with milder forms of ASD
(eg. Asperger’s Syndrome) in
your regular church activities.
Others may possibly be
struggling to participate in church
activities and worship because of
the challenges of ASD.
So we are inviting you to join
us as we plan to share with, learn
from and increase belonging for
those with ASD in our community.
In April-May we are running
“Autism Awareness Month @ St
John’s”, during which we will be
applying three strategies towards
increasing autism awareness in
our community:
Sharing Stories
On April 12 and 26, our own
ASDy families will be sharing
their personal stories about
ASD within St John’s regular
times of worship (8:30 and 10:00
am). This will be accompanied
by printed information about
ASD. We welcome you to send
a representative to come and
hear these ASD stories with us.

The impact of ASD in a pastoral

Lakes Entrance and Metung
A shared lucheon was held at Lakes Entrance and Metung Parish
on 1 March at St Nicholas, and a Certificate of Appreciation
presented to Terry McMaster for his service in setting up the op
shop “Nicholas John” (in the old church building, erected in 1908)
and managing it for well over five years.
It was very much a learning curve for all and Terry has done a
wonderful job of seeing it through teething stages into the wellrun and profitable venture it is now. The money earned has enabled
the Parish to do many things it was previously unable to do as well
as donate a percentage of the profits to worthy local causes. Terry’s
(and his wife Sandra’s) involvement is much appreciated by all.

Trafalgar
On Shrove Tuesday our parish shared a simple meal of
pancakes, savoury and sweet, with other churches,
marking the beginning of Lent. It was heartening to see
the breadth of attendance, and representation, making
full use of our facilities. The evening raised $354 for Act
of peace which provides development aid to projects in
needy countries. A number of study groups have been
enjoying a deepening of relationship with God, as they
meet together on a regular basis.
While a few summer days returned in the middle of the
month to delight us, we met for our Annual Parish Picnic
at the beautiful Blue Rock Dam. The grass was green,
the dam had water deep enough to enable full use of the
kayaks and the many swimmers a happy time.
Shrove Tuesday in Yarram was hosted by
the Rev Jo and Ken White, with a pleasant
evening at the Rectory. After a feast of
savoury pancakes everyone adjourned
to the back garden where last year’s
palm crosses were burnt for this year’s
imposition of ashes the next day.
Back inside for dessert pancakes with
yummy fruit and topping – in the true spirit
of Fat Tuesday, it was a real feast.
Four Lenten study groups have been
meeting each week to follow the study
written by Bishop John Harrower – “The
God of Life”. This is a very practical study
which participants find readily relates to
everyday life in 2015.
Throughout Lent Jo has preached on
the Seven Deadly sins and the Seven
Heavenly Virtues. This Lent has been a
time to examine our lives and reflect on
these virtues, so that a greater awareness
of our sin might inspire our repentance
and prompt our rejoicing in God’s
steadfast love.
In Yarram, our Easter celebrations
include the amazing Tarra Festival. Holy
Trinity Church Hall will be the staging point
for those involved in floats for the parade
down the main street.
A self-guided Stations of the Cross
will be available in the Hall following the
parade. This year the posters used were
created by the Benedictine Nuns of Turvey
Abbey in Beford UK. Extremely rich in
colour, these images trace Christ’s
journey to the cross.

Traralgon
On Sunday 15th February the Rev Canon Jeff Richardson, Rector of
St James Traralgon, celebrated his 30th anniversary of ordination to
the priesthood with his family and members of the congregation. The
service was followed by a luncheon in the church hall. Canon Jeff spoke
of the many highlights of ministry throughout those 30 years. He has
served in the parishes of East St Kilda, Glenroy, Balaclava / Elwood,
Cheltenham, Bunyip and Traralgon. Canon Jeff said, “I am so grateful
to God for remaining faithful to my priestly call. God has journeyed with
me through the highs and lows of ordained ministry”.

A sudden loss for Amy Turner
The Rev Canon Amy Turner, Rector of the parish
of Drouin and Canon of St Paul’s Cathedral, Sale,
was on leave and about to depart on a longanticipated cruise in early February with her
great friend, Bishop Barbara Darling.
Instead, Canon Amy found herself sitting
beside the hospital bed of Bishop Barbara,
who had suffered a sudden stroke.
Canon Amy read the daily offices with the
bishop and spent much time at the hospital
in the following days. Sadly, Bishop Barbara
died on 15 February, and at the Service of
Thanksgiving for her life, Canon Amy read
the tribute written by Bishop Barbara’s Family.
Bishop Kay Goldsworthy preached at the
service, and the Rev Heather Marten, former
Rector of Morwell, spoke on behalf of Bishop
Barbara’s friends and colleagues, as reported
in The Melbourne Anglican in March.
The parish of Drouin farewelled Canon Amy
on 22 March with a Eucharist in the morning
conducted by Amy, and great fellowship
at a luncheon afterwards. A report will be in
TGA next month.
Amy will remain on leave until her
retirement in mid April.

As part of the Year 9 program at Gippsland Grammar
students visited St Paul’s Cathedral to raise their community
awareness and give the Cathedral Pantry a boost.
This visit was part of an environmental studies unit looking
into food security. Initially students gathered canned and
packaged foods from their own homes to investigate their
origins and mapped where the food had travelled. Visiting
the Cathedral was the culmination of the unit. The Gippsland
Grammar students helped stock the Cathedral pantry with
their foods.
Year 9 student Jeremy Gunther said the excursion was
insightful. He explained that it required the students to look
at a household budget and think about those less fortunate
than themselves.

2 PETER 2: 1–3
But there were also false
prophets among the people, just
as there will be false teachers
among you. They will secretly
introduce destructive heresies...
In their greed these teachers will
exploit you with stories they have
made up. Their condemnation
has long been hanging over
them, and their destruction has
not been sleeping.

JAMES 1: 2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many
kinds, because you know that
the testing of your faith develops
perseverance.
Perseverance must finish
its work so that you may
be mature and complete,
not lacking anything.

– Tips for churches and households –
#8 Draught proof the building
As the cooler days approach, it’s a great time to look at
your house, church and hall to see where the air may be
leaking in and out. Blocking out draughts can make the
building more comfortable, reduce energy use and save
up to 20% on heating costs (sustainabilityvic.gov.au).
Sustainability Victoria recommends checking for visible light under and around doors and windows, listening
for whistles or rattles around them, and feeling for moving
air. Notice also if curtains are moving. Check if there are
more wall vents than necessary.
Gaps around doors and windows and beside skirting
boards can be sealed by caulking. Door snakes or
draught strips can be used to block gaps under doors.
See many other detailed tips at sustainabilityvic.gov

’m not sure exactly how long
it has been since I began
presenting Safe Ministry
workshops in the Diocese.
I’m fairly certain it’s about 12
years. When we first began
presenting these workshops
across the diocese there was
some resistance by both clergy
and lay people.
