Bible Study /Home Groups	We have a Home Fellowship and Bible Study in Swan View every Sunday evening.  Very relaxed worship, Bible study and fellowship around a shared meal.
Aboriginal Retreats	Recently, we have become involved in regular retreats for Bible study and fellowship with a group of Christian Aboriginal grandmothers from all over the south west of WA. It has been a pleasure to encourage them and to provide some practical support, including meat and groceries donated by our friends.
	Worship before Bible study
	Thankful for the gifts!
Mission Preparation Days	Ongoing mission preparation and sewing days when our friends help prepare simple resources to be used in ministry on the mission field.
	Thanks to the many who help with missions prep days to make bags and help packs for the needy in Perth, and Bible College students, orphans and refugees overseas.
	Here, our friends are laminating calendar bookmarks, making picture books, and writing letters of encouragement,
	...knitting beanies and hand-puppets...
	...and sewing bags for books or toiletries. These students in Burma enjoy the bags!
	Wallets made as an outreach to sailors who come in to the Seafarers' Centre in Karratha, WA.

Pray:

Thank God that a handful of very keen volunteers have come on board to help us with sewing and preparation of ministry resources.

Thank God for His abundant provision -- and thanks to our donors who support the ministry with time, finance, food, clothes, and prayer.

Pray for the Aboriginal grandmothers. Most of them have struggled with problems within their extended families, especially with drugs and alcohol. Their prayer is that their family members would know the hope and victory that only Jesus can give.
