Prayer & Spirituality Co-ordinator: Lynette Oates
Prayer & Spirituality with IPC Report 2023
I took over this role in January this year.
I intended to have a booklet printed for Pentecost, but due to the death of my daughter in March, this was not able to occur. I did do a mid year letter, which was a stop gap publication. I hope to have a little booklet ready in time for Advent. I apologise if you were sent a letter instead of receiving an E-mail, or if you missed out altogether, I was working from a mail out sheet and printed labels. This information should be updated before the next mail out. If you know of any additions, change of addresses, or names to be removed, please inform me so I can include or remove as required, and send to the right people and places. I still have my “L. Plates” on in this regard.
Yours in Christ

MU hands across the world
Our hands are such valuable things. They can apply themselves to almost any task – needlework, shovelling coal into a steam engine, mending timid animals burnt in a bush fire. They are ultra-sensitive: the tips of fingers can tell us about a child with fever. In the thick of everything, they are very prone to damage and when that happens we are - yes - handicapped. Mothers’ Union is called to be hands-on, a finger in every pie. It is personal touch that heals and comforts, protects and teaches. Reserve and apprehension handicaps the Lord’s work. Let your tender touch bring God’s love to another’s life – wherever you are in the world.
“Give thanks to the Lord; call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. Isaiah 12: 4-5
As we pray for members in the diocese of Melbourne, we give thanks for the hands that create gifts for those experiencing trauma (trauma teddies for Kenya), sadness (cot blankets for prem and stillborn babies) or those away from home (hats, scarves and beanies for seafarers), and for the hands folded in prayer.
