Hope for the
future.
I will never forget the tough times I would give my
Scripture teachers in High School. I certainly didn't
make their life easy, but much to my amazement they
persevered. It was their commitment and dedication
that so impressed me that I began to look further into
the things they were telling me about. I thank God for
the way he worked through them and how it has
brought me to "the hope now laid up for me in heaven.”
(Col 1’5)
Today we pray for those who minister amongst our
young people both within the church and into the
community in places like SRE ministry. We've been
blessed with keen, capable people, and we look
forward to God doing a great work through them.
Please pray for them. As young people learn and
formulate principles and priorities for life, it's crucial that
they have the opportunity to hear and respond to the
good news about Jesus. We need to continue to pray,
not just today, but throughout the year for those on the
cutting edge of this ministry.

We can all take great comfort in the reality that as we
step out and speak God's message in whatever
situation He places us in, He promises; 'My word
shall not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I
desire and achieve *the purpose for which I sent it.'
Isaiah 55'11

Text of the month.
Without faith it is impossble to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him
Hebrews 11:6
PARISH DINNER
The parish dinner will be held on
Tuesday, 3rd Feb 2015, 6pm,
at St Hilda’s Church.
CARERS FOR CHILDREN with
special needs
What better way to reach out with God’s love to the
community than by supporting a local family.
It will be a bring and share affair.
Westlink Respite Services is in need of volunteers
(over 17yrs) who would like to befriend a child or
teenager who has a disability. Care can take place in
your home, the child's home or as a companion on
outings in the community. This is a great opportunity
for the child to make new friends & also give their
family a short break. Care can be for a few hours a
week or a whole day once a month. Carers receive a
small recompense. Training and ongoing support are provided.
To find out more details, please phone Anglicare on (02) 8805 0916, or (02) 88050917 or
email: [email protected] We'd love to hear from you

Understanding and engaging karma-based religion
CMS WORKSHOP: St Hilda's Katoomba, 1pm, February 15
Eastern religions have fascinated many for a long period of time.
Buddhism in particular has gained many followers in the Western world.
What is the attraction in a religion like Buddhism? How do you interact and engage with your
neighbor who is fascinated by the peace loving nature of Buddhism and other religions? How
will you explain Christianity to someone from a Buddhist background?
Friday night Dinner for youth.
This year we would like to provide a simple and cheap dinner each week at Friday night youth.
If you could volunteer to cook a simple meal one week for 15 or so young people,
contact Michael Wells on 0415 159 865

Accommodation
The Katoomba Youth convention (KYCK) that happens in April this year is looking for
hosts for some of the teenagers that will be attending the conference.
The KYCK dates are 10-12,17-19, 24-26 April and you would not need to provide meals
just accommodation, It would be a chance for you to encourage young people in their faith
and be encouraged yourself. If you are interested in finding out more about this, please
call KCC on 1300 737 140.
St Marys group asking for accomodation.
I was wondering if you know any accommodation or house I could rent in April in
Katoomba or surrounding area.
I'm keen to take a few young people from church@5:30 (6-10) to KYCK. Ideally we'd like
to go on either of the following weekends KYCK #1: 10-12 APRIL or KYCK #2: 17-19
APRIL.
