BEANIES NEEDED - Janet Woodward Secretary of Adult Fellowships is asking for beanies to be given to 11 National Bush Chaplains when they are in Adelaide in October for a conference. These Chaplains take beanies among other things they take to isolated families and communities Australia wide. Chris Parker has a pattern for anyone interested.

STAMPS - We don't receive as many letters by post these days but stamps you do receive are still useful. A group of people gather at the Synod office each Monday to sort used stamps which are sold. There is a box on top of the shelves in Blackwell hall. See Lindsay Parker
