Vision Series - Student Minister
This Vision Series we are seeking to raise funds to support and enable our Student Minister, Sarah Jones for 2026. At St Paul’s, we are passionate about raising up the next generation of gospel workers and building a culture where people don’t just discover their gifts but are courageously sent to use them. We want to create real ministry opportunities that help people explore vocational ministry with clarity and confidence. By giving to this project, you are helping to build a church where people are equipped, encouraged, and inspired to use their gifts in joyful service to God and our community.

They Found a Home!
As part of Creative Australia's national fundraising day for the Arts - October 23rd, we are supporting Werribee District Historical Society (WDHS), a volunteer organisation active since1962, and who sadly has been forced to leave their premises. So put Oct 23 in your diary as we report live donations for a 12 hour period. We aim to help set them up in an historic homestead. Essence and WDHS will collaborate, targetting local community through online marketing, flyers and word of mouth but also be present in broader platforms. Yes WDHS is closely connected to art. They write (periodicals, books, articles) they interpret, they design and build diaoramas, they have important collections of maps, books, photographs and are a vital source for research projects (including some of my plays). They need a home so help us, help them to set themselves up in a great location, the bluestone manse.

French Island Eco Inn Fundraising Appeal
As a result of a tragic fire in the early morning of Saturday 2 April, 2022 the French Island Eco Inn was totally destroyed by fire. Luckily, owners and hosts Phil and Yuko and the 8 guests staying at the Inn at the time escaped ok and Phil and Yuko consider themselves very lucky to be alive. Sadly their much loved and friendly dog Sammy perished in the fire. All Phil and Yuko belongings have been destroyed so they have nothing left and the guests could only save some of their belongings. Many years of hard work and renovations have been spent on the property to build it to what it was prior to the disastrous fire. Specialty Wine Tours has decided to start a fundraising appeal to help comfort Phil and Yuko through this very tough time. The Eco Inn was their pride and joy as their home and business and I know they would be so grateful for any form of donation which will go to some way of helping them try to re-establish themselves and move on. These donations are not tax deductible.
Korowal School Building Project
Korowal School provides the Blue Mountains with a unique community of open minded, socially and environmentally conscious, thoughtful, abundantly creative people. Through extensive stakeholder consultation, we have developed our ten year school masterplan and continue to work towards completion of the first stage of this plan. Thanks to the generous support of our community, in 2023 we completed phase one our project, a Covered Outdoor Learning Area (COLA) over our basketball court as well as refurbishments to our high school and primary school bathrooms. We hope to commence works on phase two of the project, which consists of refurbishment to the Primary School building early in 2026. This is an exciting project for our small school, and we thank you for your contribution.
