Love

Covid-19 provides us with an opportunity to love one another as Christ has loved us. One of the ways that the world will see our discipleship of our Lord Jesus is by how we love another in practical and timely ways. This will be especially true when we know that people are self-isolating because of various causes of illness including Covid-19. This is also true in the way we give people opportunities to serve us in a time of need.

The Deacons of the church will facilitate the way that we love one another during this time by matching people offering help to those who need help. Please fill in the following forms to help the Deacons.

Jesus commanded us to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Covid-19 provides us with a unique opportunity to love our neighbours in a way that shines the light of God in a way that others might see our good deeds and come to know and glorify our heavenly Father.

One way that you could do this is to download this, print it out and deliver it to your neighbours' letterbox that you live near – especially those you know who are less connected or who live on their own – eg. new migrants, international students, elderly.

LaTrobe University is looking for external help to assist them in providing non-perishable food items to students in need.

Many of us have been students ourselves and may be able to relate to the pressures some are going through at this time. This challenges have been made worse by the impact of COVID-19. If you are able to donate any items of food from the list provided it would be much appreciated.

You can drop off your items anytime on Sunday on the dates listed above. All food received will be taken by La Trobe staff during the week following that Sunday.

Thank you and please be in prayer for these students in their time of need.

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

(Hebrews 13:16)
