Parish of Break O’Day
Palm Sunday march
Photos from the Palm Sunday combined churches march in St Helens.
We usually march on Palm Sunday as the streets are too busy here for a permission to close the street off.
This day was also the day Scott Sargent was inducted as our new enabler.
Furniture ministry
This is a recent photo of our furniture ministry in action.
We have two depots, one at the Anglicare office and the other a shed that we use courtesy of former parishioners who now live on the mainland.
This is being loaded at the shed in Stieglitz. This is a regular happening - maybe twice a week or more sometimes.
All the furniture is donated - and we give it away as well. It ranges from whole households as estates are closed, or people move or renovate - it varies greatly.
The other area is carpet - old carpets are thrown away - recycled by us as new is laid. All the carpet in the renovated Anglicare Parish centre is recycled carpet.
We also do new fridges, washing machines and microwaves if there aren't any on hand and the monies are available.
