Help Y (our Youth Group) get to Soul Survivor

Come and have your car washed by the Y team
on Sunday, 5 February



Y will be running a car wash on Sunday, 5 February after the 10 am services
from 12 noon to about 2 pm
.

Why not come along and have your car beautifully washed and help the members of our youth group get to
this year's Soul Survivor.

What's Soul Survivor? You can read all about it here.

Many of the members of Y went along to Soul Survivor last year and found it very encouraging and a real challenge to their Christian walk.

By having your car washed, you may be helping that one teenager who is unable to meet the cost and associated expenses of the weekend camp.

 

Welcome to
Mullum Mullum Anglican Parish – Ringwood

Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany

Psalm 147:1–11

The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
The LORD lifts up the downtrodden; he casts the wicked to the ground.
(vv 2–6)

elcome to our parish website, thank you for visiting us.

In October 2009 two Anglican parishes, Djerrnong (formed by the merger of Holy Trinity Ringwood East, and Christ Church Heathmont in 2004), and Ringwood/Park Orchards (formed by the merger of Emmanuel Park Orchards, and St Paul’s Ringwood in 2003), amalgamated to form the new parish of Mullum Mullum Anglican Parish – Ringwood.

The Djerrnong and Park Orchards worship centres have now closed and we all worship together as one parish at St Paul’s Anglican Church in Ringwood.

The name Mullum Mullum was chosen because the Mullum Mullum Creek touches all parts of the new parish and the name Mullum Mullum is already known in the area.

We hope you will enjoy looking around the site and find it useful, and we also hope that you will come and visit us and find out a little about our parish and enjoy the fellowship that you will be offered.

You will find us a friendly and welcoming parish; and who knows, you may just decide to stay with us.

If you would like to find out more about the parish please contact us or just turn up at any of the activities, you will be most welcome.

 

Week beginning Sunday, 5 February

Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany

The Gospel According to Mark 1:29–39

Scripture reading provided courtesy Vanderbilt Divinity Library.


As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once.
He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.
And the whole city was gathered around the door.
(vv 29–33)

The Collect

Everlasting God,
you give strength to the powerless and power to the faint;
you raise up the sick
and cast out demons.
Make us agents of healing and wholeness,
that your good news may be made known
to the ends of your creation. Amen.
