CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!
- to be held Thursday 25th July (7pm - 9pm at the latest) Don’t forget to plan to come along to the ever-popular Christmas in July. Dr Ian Elmer from the Australian Catholic University (and one of our parishioners!) will be giving a talk called “Jesus and the Cosmos” - Sounds great!! What does it mean?? “John’s Gospel has no nativity story. It begins with a majestic prologue (John 1:1-18) claiming that the birth of Jesus heralded the inbreaking of creative divine “Word” into the created cosmos. In this year’s Christmas in July soiree we will be exploring the cosmological dimensions of Christmas. We will discuss how this “big picture” approach to the Christmas story impacts upon our relationship with the environment and how that relationship is related to human salvation.” - Very topical as we try to implement Pope Francis’ encyclical “Laudato Si”. We will have a Christmas party half way though the night so please BRING YOUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS TREATS to share. EUTHANASIA - how informed are you??
A very important issue that needs deep thought and prayer. Currently most of the publicity is highly emotive.
At SPEAKER’S CORNER, 15 George Street, Brisbane, [Next to Parliament House], there is an ‘Anti-Euthanasia Appeal’ planned on Saturday the 3rd of August. Gathering from 2:30pm Starting at 3:00pm and closing about 3:15pm or so. All JESUS’ Disciples are most welcome, all who seriously want to appeal to GOD for HIS help!
