Hi everyone, Thanks to everyone who visited our garage sale today. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and managed to grab a bargain. The sale continues tomorrow from 8am to 1pm, with free coffee, Timbits, and more things you never knew you needed! We were Blessed to receive so many donations that we weren't able to display everything today, so there will be a few new bits for sale tomorrow. I hope you all have a great weekend, Darren+

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and have had a good week.
On Sunday, we will be celebrating Pentecost and the Spirit arriving among the disciples, though, of course, God's presence on earth has been there since Creation itself.
Our service begins at 10am, and will also be available on Zoom. If you would like the link, together with a copy of the PowerPoint and Order of Service, just let me know.
Everyone is, of course, very welcome to the service, and refreshments will be served afterwards.
I hope you and your loved ones have a Blessed weekend.
If I can help with anything, or if you have any prayer requests, please do get in touch.
Always with my prayers and thanks
Darren+

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you to all our volunteers who have helped set up for our garage sale. It takes an enormous amount of work, especially when juggling this with our normal working week. And also thanks to everyone who donated items; it was very kind of you. Please do come along and have a look around on Friday and Saturday from 8am to 1am. I took a few pics today to show the sorts of things which are available, and there is a lot more! Always with my prayers, Darren+

It is with sadness that I announce the death of Canon Dwight Oatway, who served faithfully as the financial officer from 2011-2021. Much of the financial stewardship that took place during the APCI years was due to Dwight's wise and faithful counsel. Dwight also worked as a Lay Minister of Word and Sacrament and was a key member at St. Hilda's in Savona.

The service for Dwight will take place on June 27th, at 11:00am, at the Cathedral. For those who cannot travel from long distances, the service will be livestreamed on the Cathedral page. Please keep Islay Oatway, and their children, in your prayers during this time of mourning.

Rest eternal grant onto him O Lord and let light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Hi everyone,
This is a pic from my first Baptism a few years ago. It always cheers me up and shows a little of the joy of a Christening service. It's a time when family and friends can come together to celebrate the wonder of a new life and make commitments for their future.
Alternatively, we can also provide a Thanksgiving service, celebrating the gift of a child. This is appropriate, perhaps if you decide that now isn't quite the time to have your child Baptised. It is also often chosen when a child joins a new family for whatever reason.
Whatever service you are considering and would like to chat further, please just let me know. Always with my prayers, Darren+
In the interests of full disclosure, yes, the girl in the pic threw herself backwards into the water but was okay. Just out of shot is her twin sister, who thankfully was a little less excited!
