Archbishop's November Appeal

At Brisbane Synod last weekend, the Rt Rev'd Sarah Plowman announced that the 2025 Archbishop's November Appeal will again support St Mark's School in the Philippines.

Bishop Sarah and the Rev'd Juliana Bate, Chaplain at St John's Anglican College, Forest Lake, visited St Mark's earlier this year and met with students, staff and parents.

You are invited to an online event to hear from Bishop Sarah and Juliana about what they saw. You will learn about the impact your prayers and giving in 2024 have had, and the plans that the 2025 appeal will help to make a reality.

Inala Careforce Grocery Donations for the purchase of Emergency Groceries and Personal Items for those families in dire need

( Inala Care Force need our  donations now more than ever with the rising cost of shortage of groceries and increased cost of living expenses making it hard for many families to put food on the table. Peter Baker and Miranda Mortlock regularly drop off our donations of food to St Hughs Anglican as part of our support during the year. Please leave your contributions near reception 

Thank you to all who support Inala Pantry financially and with food and other items. 

 Donated items are collected at church and delivered at regular intervals to St. Hugh’s Inala.  

Items of long-life milk (full cream), tea, coffee, sugar, flour (the smaller 1kg size because that is the easiest to carry for those who walk home), cereal, tinned fruit and vegetables, in addition to the usual dried foods like rice, pasta, lentils

Inala Careforce  also suggest cooking oil (olive, canola etc) tinned fish, tinned soup and other tinned food, biscuits, spreads, washing liquid and powder, disinfectant, toilet paper and tissues as well as bathroom items like deodorant, shampoo and toothpaste.  

Other preferred items include snacks for kids lunch boxes like muesli bars and cheese and crackers which are greatly appreciated. 

Please avoid old or damaged canned goods, cans showing rust, or exotic or little used items that have been at the back of your pantry for a long time.  Do check the ‘use by dates’ as out of date items are not allowed to be given away. Choose items from the list above or items you would like to receive if your larder was bare. Your generosity and gifts are appreciated so much by those who find themselves often with no warning in desperate circumstances for any number of reasons.
