\"\"<\/a>A couple of myths continue about \u201cteachers have long holidays and short working hours\u201d and \u00a0\u00a0\u201c priests only work on Sundays.\u201d Spending a week in either workplace would exhaust many people with the dedication required to do the multi- tasking well. Both vocations usually involve a great deal of community work outside of working hours, and this as volunteers. The community is also enriched by all the wonderful citizens who give many hours in voluntary jobs.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday it was good to welcome some new faces at Caf\u00e9 Church, where the program featured an animated film.\u00a0 Some very interesting reflections were shared before we had our meal. At the morning service we had sung Happy Birthday to Leone for her\u00a0\u2018milestone fifty\u2019, and as usual the Baker family together with Denis, kept the evening gathering moving along.\u00a0 Caf\u00e9 Church is open to everyone, but especially for families who perhaps have other commitments on Sunday mornings, also for families or singles who feel more comfortable with the informality of the gathering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A wonderful service of thanksgiving for the life of Thora Brown was held on Tuesday, led by Rev\u2019d Denis, with many visitors coming back to celebrate Thora\u2019s almost 98 years of a life well lived. Husband Lindsay was also remembered, and Thora lived to see their first great grandchild, a boy born on Lindsay\u2019s birthday. Fr Max Bowers added his reflections to those of the family, meeting many old friends at the luncheon following, and remarking that Thora had been the initiator of what is now a professional standard Catering Group for the Anglican Function Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
