Weekly Update Sunday 23rd February 2020
It’s been a very busy few weeks at St Luke’s! Sadly some of the busyness has been due to the funerals of two much loved saints of the church – Glad Beckham and Alf Swan. We will sorely miss their kindness, friendship and wise experience from our community, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of the life and leadership of St Luke’s Highton for many years. Go well, Glad and Alf – we’ll see you on the other side!
Here is the update for this week:

St Luke’s Environment Action Group Bushfire Appeal
The St Luke’s Environment Group are growing seedlings of herbs, veggies and flowers for the bushfire victims to start their gardens and add a bit of colour. Jean Daw is going to Bairnsdale end March for starters, with a load for the victims in that area. All pots to be at St Luke’s 11am Sat 21st March to be loaded in her car. We may have more going to other areas as well.

Prayer Shawls For Bushfire Areas
Pastoral Connections have been seeking contacts who could take and make available to those in the fire-ravaged areas some of our hand-knitted and crocheted shawls, with a card assuring those suffering that we are praying for them. We have had a wonderful response, with the following distribution numbers and areas:
- 6 shawls and 4 knee rugs went to Orbost on 11th January.
- 7 shawls and 3 knee rugs went to a chaplain in Merimbula for delivery to Bombala on the 19th January.
- 5 shawls went to Bright for distribution by the UCA minister.
We still have some available to give to those in fire areas. Please contact Beth on 52436874 if you know of someone who could be comforted by the gift, or who can take into the areas for distribution.
Cruising in November with St Luke’s friends
Princess Cruises….. November always appears to be a good month to take a well earned holiday before we turn our attention to celebrating Christmas. I am organising a Princess ‘Sapphire’ Cruise for 6 nights and 7 days commencing 10 November 2020.
Destination: Depart Melbourne, Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and disembark Melbourne.
Cruising appeals to couples, singles, family and friends and promises a wonderful holiday. You are invited to join our cruise.
Expressions of Interest close with me on Monday 2nd March ’20.
