Information and Resources for Parishes Clergy, for Church and Home.

Communicating to your Parish Getting the message out It would be great for our parishioners and communities to know why there has been a suspension of public worship, what they can do and what services they can access on a parish level. Please click below for an example of Rev Adam Lowe from St. Bart’s Toowoomba parish. No need to over think the production – this can be done with a smart phone and steady hand if need be. It is good to see a number of clergy already doing this. https://www.facebook.com/stbartstoowoomba/videos/3534194819955895/ https://stbarts.com.au/coronavirus?fbclid=IwAR1fXxTw- O3LEH9J6aGn_URzC7w0MV9BshQz1CVZn-xpNpaJRSogTNw2SjQ Resources for Parishes Click the following links to connect to on-line church services and including both traditional and modern liturgies.
