About the parish  

"The Spirit of Generosity: "the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully, will reap bountifully":(2 Corinthians 9:6 NRSV)

Many people in the parish give financially through the stewardship planned giving envelopes  Envelopes are marked for each Sunday of the year and then placed in the offertory plate during Sunday Services.  The financial giving of parishioners enables us to employ clergy and other staff, to resource ministry initiatives and to contribute to the mission of the church elsewhere

Our financial giving also enables us to maintain the parish property. It is also possible to give through Direct Debit. People give according to their means; but we encourage everyone to be regular! Information is available from the Parish Treasurer on 9364 1718 or email  applecross@applecross.perth.anglican.org.

PARISH VOLUNTEERS

There are many ways people that people can contribute their time, gifts and talents to the parish in a     voluntary capacity. Many hands make light work seems to be an     appropriate saying here. There are always openings for people to assist with cleaning, serving, maintenance, hospitality or taking a formal     role in the Sunday Services.

Rosters are prepared for many of these tasks and the coordinator is Daphne Pyke.  Daphne would love to hear from anyone who would like to assist in any way (big or small) and can be     contacted on phone 9364 3583 or dapyke@vianet.net.au
