  • Welcome to E100

    Starting at Pentecost this year, I’d like to encourage as many members of St. John’s as possible to join me in the E100 reading program. E100 is 100 passages from the Bible, 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New, which give a broad overview of the scriptures as a whole. They are divided into 20 weeks of five readings, which, with a couple of holiday weeks to allow people to catch up, will take us through most of the way to Lent! (...more...)

Stamps

At the beginning of 2006 the Stamp Committee of The New South Wales Synod reported that it had passed $465,000 on the sale of stamps since its inception in 1977. This figure continues to grow by around $25,000 each year.
This is an easy way to raise money for worthy projects and activities within the Uniting Church.
We at St. John’s can help in two ways:

  • We can collect used stamps;
  • We can prepare the stamps ready for sale.

Any stamp which is not damaged and with a clear cancellation is acceptable. Stamps which are torn, with heavy franking or cancelled by pen or biro are not acceptable.
We get more money for stamps LEFT ON ENVELOPE PAPER than those which have been pulled or soaked off. Stamps should be trimmed so that 1/8” (3mm) of single thickness envelope paper surrounds them.

Stamps can be left in the box marked “Stamps” in the Narthex.

…a personal footnote – the Stamp Committee paid the cost of the hospital chaplaincy based part of my training while I was at college – Chris
