Yesterday we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption. It is a tricky one to talk to children about, it’s a tricky one to talk to adults about!

Father Kimi put it very simply, we celebrate Mary as our first Mother.  We must remember that our mothers gave us life and sacrified for us, as Mary did. 

Her Assumption to heaven body and soul is maybe not something we understand fully. But the devotion of mothers, grandmothers, carers and the women in our lives who keep us steady and strong, this we understand.

If you would like to read more about the Feast of the Assumption this website has some interesting insights.

Collecting Plastic Milk Bottle Tops

Enabling the Future is creating prosthetic hands with 3D printers for children. The Rotary Club of Belconnen is collecting milk (or similar) tops to forward them to the maker.

Can you help?  Please bring your plastic bottle tops to church and deposit them in the bucket which will be in the foyer.
