Thank You All For Your Stewardship and for the many hours you volunteer to help with the worship experience at St Michael and All Angels in so many ways. Please let Rob or Angela know if you can help in any area of our church's activities from Welcoming to Children's Ministry, Prayer Support, Worship Assistance (readings, prayers, liturgical assistance, Pastoral Care) or help with building and grounds, fund raising, Moggill markets and Morning Tea so that our outreach to the community shows others the love of Christ.

We have received numerous ‘Christmas Giving’ opportunities and I have discussed these with Parish Council. Our view is that the most useful and direct thing we can do is to continue to support the organisations that we have supported through our ongoing fundraising and particularly CAREFORCE Pantry operated through Inala Parish. From Advent Sunday we will have a separate offertory plate for this purpose. Cash donations will be passed on before Christmas .

Following the Devastating Cyclones, Floods on the East Coast of Australia our community are still doing it tough, and need your help.

Some folks' tragedies were compounded with devastating flooding and torrential rain especially in Northern Queensland
The Archbishop’s Emergency Relief Appeal exists to make funds available to local parishes affected by drought, flood, fire or other emergencies in order to assist families in need with the purchase of groceries and other basic necessities, often from shops or service providers in their local communities. All money raised is spent on helping these families in need. Gifts are also made to other dioceses when emergencies strike them.
