MENTAL HEALTH UNWRAPPED SUNDAY 26 JULY, 1pm at St Mary’s Anglican Church hall, 428 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne.

Resourcing the Church to Support Mental Wellness. This workshop covers the important and often hidden topic of psychiatric or mental illness, and how churches can be ‘healing communities’ – places of honesty, acceptance, support and overcoming stigma, working with other services and supports, pastoral care strategies and places of prayer. Please let vicar Craig D’Alton know if you are intending to attend, or contact him for more information.

The congregation of Mark the Evangelist is pleased to welcome the Heaven’s Song church (choose the English version in the top righthand corner!), which will be using our hall/worship space on Saturday nights, 6-10pm. The congregation is part of a wider network of the Heaven’s Song church which has a ministry focussed on the Portuguese-speaking South American community. We pray that the two congregations will be a blessing to each other.
