Father's Day Picnic5/11/2008

The following article appeared in the local paper, the Newman News, along with photos.

Father’s Day at Ethel Creek St Park

Father’s Day in September saw the Anglican Church, once again, have their service at Ethel Creek St Park.  It was a beautiful spring day, and members of the church enjoyed praising God out in His creation! 

Things were a bit different to normal, with the kids performing a drama based on the bible story ‘Daniel in the Lion’s Den’, called ‘Daniel in BabyBilliton’.  It was a challenge to remember the importance of God and family while working hard in Newman. 

Families then got into teams to complete the Father’s Day quiz, with such questions as ‘Name Adam’s three sons’, ‘What number commandment is Honour your father and your mother?’ and ‘How did Jesus teach us to address God?’ (how did you do?).  

Fathers are so important, and the Anglican Church wants to encourage fathers in their role.  The Father’s Day service was a way to thank fathers, and remember our perfect Father.  Afterwards, members of the church enjoyed a BBQ together, and a great game of cricket with the kids.  

For more info on church activities, phone Rev Matt Johnson 9175 1350, or pop along to our service at 9am on Sundays (rest assured, the roof is quite strong and won’t fall in!).  Hilditch Ave (opposite Post Office).
