A Prayer for God's Gifts

Give to my eyes, Lord
light to see those in need.
Give to my heart
compassion and understanding.
Give to my mind
knowledge and wisdom.
Give to my hands
skill and tenderness.
Give to my ears
the ability to listen.
Give to my lips
words of comfort.
Give to my spirit
the desire to share.
Give to me, Lord,
strength for selfless service
and enable me to bring joy to
the lives of those I serve. Amen
John Nielsen | Leader of Mission

Vinnies Winter Appeal, Letter of Thanks
Hats, Gloves and Scarves for Refugee families
Last week your amazing students donated much needed hats, gloves and scarves for our refugee families arriving into the very cold winter of Wagga.
Most of our arrivals have come from a warm climate so it is quite a shock when families arrive into Wagga and realise just how cold it is.
They have expressed much gratitude for these 'must haves' in the winter.
Could you please thank the students and their parents for their generosity. This has been very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Deirdre Moulden
