Geoff Humble hasn't added a story.
The church at Mortlake, St James, has been here for over 150 years and has, in that time, been a focal point of the town's religious life, as well as other community-oriented events such as the annual fair, Debutants' Ball, and so on.
However, times change, and currently, the rural community are doing it tough. We have had several years of drought, and now the farm-gate price of milk has dropped to an unsustainable level, meaning many dairy farmers are facing having to walk away from the livelihood.
St James has always had a rose garden, and over the years it has grown so that we have now over 150 roses, all with some 'churchy' theme. For example, there are St Pauli, Ave Maria, Black Madonna, Ave Maria, Desmond Tutu, Heaven Scent, and so on.
It has become a place where people from the broader community (not just members of our church) may come and sit and reflect during times of stress.
Watering and maintaining these roses has been a labour of love for the dedicated group of parishioners, but we need to look at upgrading the watering system to an automated one, and this is where we ask for your assistance.
Your generous donation will enable us to install an automated system that will be both ecological and economical.
Please be generous. Every dollar donated will be a dollar towards our target of $2,000.
This not a huge amount, but it is when placed beside the other calls upon our charity.
Thanks in advance, Fr Geoff.
