Bless Our Friends
These are the words of a Grace sung at a Fork and Talk gathering late last
year. They are sung to the tune of "Edelweiss". Everyone present thought the
words were most appropriate for this regular gathering where our friendships
do, indeed, bloom and grow.
Bless our friends, Bless our food
Come O Lord and sit with us
May our talk glow with peace
Bring your love to surround us
Friendship and peace, may it bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Bless our friends, Bless our food
Bless our dear land forever
HX Fundraising
Did you know that our friends at Holy Cross are collecting recyclable containers
that attract the 10c deposit refund as part of their fundraising efforts? You can
assist them by bringing along your eligible containers on Thursday to Sunday
each week and placing them in the collection container either in the annexe or
just outside. Eligible containers are ones that are commonly found in the litter
stream, including most glass, PET, HDPE, aluminium, steel or liquid paper-
board (cartons) between 150mL and 3L in size. All containers that can be
recognised as an eligible container will be accepted. There are some important
rules, including no wine or spirit bottles and no milk containers. And it assists if
you remove the screw tops before bringing them along to save someone else
having to do it. Most, but not all, eligible containers have the fact that a refund
the 10 cents deposit is obtainable printed on a label on their sides. There is
