MAKE YOUR PLAN HAPPEN!!
PLANBIG
Web	www.planbig.com.au
Make it happen. Make a difference. PlanBig makes it all possible. Sometimes it can be tough to find a way to make things happen. It might be that you'd like to get people together to make a difference in a local community. It could be that you have an 'idea' but aren't sure of how to get it kick started. That's what PlanBig is all about. Or rather, that's what you, and thousands of others just like you in communities right across Australia (and the planet) can make it be all about. Get Involved, get connected, get active We could call PlanBig 'the next phase in the power of online communities', but really it's just about like-minded people coming together to give each other the support they need to make their dreams reality. An initiative of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank.

ST ANDREW'S ANGLICAN CHURCH
Cnr Norton and Poppet Roads, Wamboin NSW 2620
Web Services	www.stjohnscanberra.org/st_andrews Morning Prayer 9:00am 1st Sunday in the month 9:00am Holy Communion 9:00am 3rd Sunday in the month New members and visitors are always most welcome.
The St Andrew’s church was built with donations for construction costs, furniture and fittings and land from early residents in Wamboin, and is sustained from gifts from Christians living in Wamboin. St Andrew’s congregation is small enough to enable all members to know each other and to enjoy each other’s company. Subject to Diocesan and Parish practice, decisions for the church are made by the whole congregation at annual and quarterly meetings, rather than through a representative council. People from all Christian backgrounds are actively welcome to join in services conducted at St Andrew’s. St Andrew’s also has a strong association, and intends to deepen the relationship, with St Peter’s Sutton. Church services alternate between the two, and there are currently a number of people who attend both services and participate in joint Lenten Studies.

Father Mark Croker resides in Braidwood and is available in Bungendore each Wednesday and also on Thursdays and Fridays on alternate weeks. Brother John O'Shea resides in Bungendore. St Mary’s was opened in 1862 and comprises a small but growing community located about 80 km to the east of Canberra - the national capital city of Australia. Members of St Mary’s Bungendore come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Being within an hour’s drive of Canberra and Queanbeyan many residents live in Bungendore and work in those nearby centres. There are many rural parishioners such as the Darmody and Reardon families being descendants of the original settlers. The new estate of Elmslea is adjacent to the town and is home to parishioners with young families. Mass is celebrated on Sunday mornings commencing at 8.30 am and visitors are most welcome. Mass is also celebrated at various times at other churches in the Parish – details can be found under the pages for each of the outlying churches. Once a month, morning tea is served after mass on Sunday morning. It provides a great opportunity for parishioners to further bond the already obvious good spirit of our church community. Please come and join us.
