19.01.2022 Hello All, Yesterday’s surprising news has changed the picture for us in South Australia, allowing us to come out of the extreme lockdown imposed on the state on Wednesday. While the recommendation that we not gather for worship tomorrow remains in place given the seriousness of the outbreak, it is possible for us to gather on Sunday 29 November to begin the Season of Advent. Unless something changes, we will gather for worship again beginning 29 November, including the 8:30... am quiet communion offering. I trust you are travelling okay amidst the changes. - Peace, Rev. Christine Gilbert #StAndrewsGlenelg #GatheredWorship #Advent2020

Please follow government directives and keep safe. - Peace to you, Rev. Christine Gilbert. #GlenelgEmergencyRelief #TuesdayCommunityMeal #NightPrayers #StAndrewsGlenelg
