Offering Envelopes-a commitment to regular giving

Over the years the Parish has accumulated many spare boxes of offering envelopes and John 6:12 reminds us that Jesus requested “let nothing be wasted”. So for this coming year the Parish will be using these envelopes instead of purchasing new ones.   The envelopes will be available at each of the churches in our Parish from this Sunday.  Another option many congregation members have chosen is direct giving by transferring their offering electronically into the Parish bank account.

Our bank details are:   Account Name; Westernport Uniting Church Parish

BSB: 633-000

Account Number: 1366 29938

If choosing this way of making your offering, please reference: your name or church attended

Prayer          God of quiet transformation, open our eyes this week to the places where your blessing is already unfolding.  In the ordinary moments, in the unexpected encounters,
in the people we might otherwise overlook.   Slow us down enough to notice and brave us enough to respond.
