Wedding Ministry<br />
Last year we had quite a slow year with wedding bookings. Preparing<br />
for marriage five couples and conducting just five wedding services.<br />
One of these weddings was for a couple from our 7pm service with the<br />
rest being community contact couples.<br />
The responsibilities for marriage preparation and services are shared<br />
around between Stephen, Stephen and Scott.<br />
2016 will see a big difference with thirteen weddings already booked<br />
in to our diary.<br />

St Luke’s Village<br />
The partnership with St Luke’s Village has<br />
continued to be strengthened throughout<br />
<strong>2015</strong>. Philip Brown’s leadership at the Village<br />
has been vital to this. Formally we continue to<br />
run weekly services including a Communion<br />
Service and a hymn-a-long meeting. During<br />
the month of March our mission focus<br />
extended to door knocking independent units/<br />
villas to offer Easter Buns, invitations to events<br />
and offer chaplaincy services.<br />
During Christmas we organised for the young<br />
adult community to sing carols in the village<br />
and give out gifts to the residents (in<br />
partnership with patchwork and cardmaking<br />
groups at DAC).<br />
The real engine room to our village ministry is<br />
the many volunteers who assist in formal<br />
capacities and visit and connect with the many<br />
residents throughout the village. We continue<br />
to build the partnership and synergy between<br />
village and church which has marked our<br />
parish for so long.<br />
With Scott leaving the parish in early 2016, the<br />
Rev. Rick Miller will assume responsibility for<br />
coordinating chaplaincy.<br />
