25.01.2022 Community Garden interview with 6PR Radio 2021-04-25

22.01.2022 G'day family, As planned, the Perth and Peel post-lockdown restrictions are set to be significantly eased further from midnight tonight (12.01am Saturday, May 1). A small number of transitional measures will remain in place until Saturday, May 8: Masks are not required outside except where physical distancing is not possible; Masks are mandatory for indoor public venues, including in the workplace and on public transport. Exemptions apply including for medical reasons and... primary school aged children or younger. People should use common sense and take a mask with them whenever they leave home; 30-person limit in all homes for private gatherings; All businesses, workplaces and higher education can now reopen. Places of worship can reopen to 100 per cent capacity. Contact registers are mandatory. It is vital that all Western Australians ensure they are registering their contact details at businesses and venues. The SafeWA app is an efficient and safe way to assist contact tracing if it is required. I look forward to seeing you in person (though behind a mask) at the Community Garden on Saturday and services on Sunday. Blessings, PJ While I have your attention... we are in the process of updating our database. Please update your information in our Elvanto database ("YBC-HQ") - it is the source of all our information, rostering, group management, attendance data, song resources and running of services. If you already have a user account on YBC-HQ I suggest you log in first and the form should automatically fill in the details we already have for you (this will save you time and effort). If you don't have an account, or have difficulty accessing your account, let me know and we'll set it up for you. This will make it easier for you to manage your roster and be notified of updates, new songs to learn etc... YBC-HQ Update Form - https://hq.yokinebaptist.church//4a3f2d84-e572-462a-9061-7 P.S. I'll have a camera & tripod set up on Sunday also, so we can update everyone in preparation for producing a long-overdue Church Family Directory.

18.01.2022 We are now collecting donations of food for Uniting Aid, as well as giving them fresh veggies from our garden.

17.01.2022 Great time of the year to be gardening. Cool mornings and warm days. Perfect conditions for growing vegies. Come down and take a look at how to grow a few vegies in your backyard.

15.01.2022 Winter veggies looking great. We can do it so can you if you follow a few basic steps. Plant in season, add water, fertilizer and spend time in the garden. We have constructed a new garden bed specifically for wheelchairs. The compost bins are for your use. Enjoy.

12.01.2022 Enjoying a great morning with Activate Mental Health

08.01.2022 *** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT *** Perth is entering a 5-day covid lockdown from 6pm tonight, effective to 6pm Friday 5th February. Venues closed include pubs, bars and clubs, gyms and indoor sporting venues, playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor recreational areas, cinemas, entertainment venues, casinos, libraries and cultural institutions and PLACES OF WORSHIP. Restaurants and cafes are only permitted to operate on a takeaway basis.... The school holidays have been extended for a week with schools to remain closed for the next five days.
