EfM – Education for Ministry

Being light to the people of the Mackay region

EfM is a small group learning process with trained mentors.
Through individual study, sharing our discoveries and exploring our Faith together, we learn to think theologically. We connect what we come to know of the Christian tradition, with our ordinary daily activities.

The course is designed in such a way that in:
Year 1 we read the Hebrew Bible – the Old Testament
Year 2 we read the New Testament
Year 3 we cover Christian history (over 3000 years)
Year 4 we explore theology, ethics, and interfaith encounters.

Each year has a support guide and reading to extend understanding.

EfM can be summed up as Exploring faith Matters.

COVID-19

The health and safety of our clergy, staff and visitors is paramount.

We will attempt to maintain normal office hours [9am-3pm Mon-Fri]

As such, we ask that if you visit the office
● your hands are clean and you use the hand sanitiser on entering

● you follow the strict rules on compliance of ‘people numbers’ (max of 3 any one time) and practice ‘social distancing’ (1.5 metres)

●if you are experiencing symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath,
please make contact via phone, text or email do not enter this building.

The National Cabinet on the 24th March confirmed that all ‘Places of Worship’ are to be closed immediately. There are exceptions, with qualification, in relation to Weddings and Funerals.

The Cluster is currently implementing a pastoral care network so that we can stay in touch either by phone, text or email with all parishioners. If you have special needs please be in touch with your contact person or contact the Rector directly.

In addition, we are attempting to set up live streaming so that you can see and participate through your computer. Other ministry units across the diocese are also live streaming.  We will place the information on Facebook and email the links  for our services as well as other relevant details.

We will be producing the Beacon each week with some relevant material.

Please stay in touch and pray for one another during this difficult time
