Supporting Anglicare and Celebrating Christmas in Stanhope Sunday December 15 2024

The Engine Room at St Peter’s, Eaglehawk Sunday January 19 2025
Recently St Peters, Eaglehawk created its very own engine room! With the approval of the bishop, part of the sanctuary area (where the organ used to be) has been transformed into a prayer chapel. We want our buildings to reflect what is important for us, and this space will reflect the importance of prayer in the parish. We want to encourage its use before and after church, during the week, for both individuals and small groups. May it be the place where all the hard work and effort is done, often hidden from view but essential for success.

We may also have noticed the impact this crisis is having on those around us. When the cost of necessities is so high, it is the most vulnerable who are hit the worst. While our governments provide assistance and local organisations do what they can, churches around the diocese have begun to question what role they might play in assisting and supporting those in need.
