- ‘Down But Not Defeated’ - Bible Study Series
During 2007, St. Paul's Shellharbour ran a trial of a 10 week Bible study Series for those who suffer from Depression, and those who support them. It was very well received, with a large number of participants.

They have now been printed and are available for purchase and distribution. Each pack includes a Leader's Manual and a set of Photocopy Masters with permission to make up to 20 copies of the participant's material per pack purchased.
The pack costs $20. If postage etc. is required, add $5.

- Hospital Chaplaincy
Steve Fagan is employed by Anglicare in the full-time position of Chaplain to the Hospitals of the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, a position also partly funded by the NSW State Health. He has been an ordained Anglican and parish preaching minister for over 20 years.
Steve writes:
"As a member of the Kingdom of God I write briefly and simply to raise your awareness of the ministry of Chaplaincy being provided in a Hospital near you. Members of your congregation may well be admitted into Hospital and find that their faith in God is severely challenged. Your Hospital Chaplains can bring them the comfort of God's love through His precious Christ-centred Word and their caring presence. I would be pleased to arrange a Chaplain to visit a member of your congregation in Hospital."
The members of interdenominational teams of Hospital Chaplains are trained through the required course of Clinical Pastoral Education. All up, 94 volunteer Chaplains are located in the nine Public Hospitals stretching from Coledale to Milton.

- Youth Publicity through Local Newspapers
Katy Stone writes...
“I am contacting you in regards to a new youth section that I am wanting to start in the next couple of weeks for the local newspapers of the Illawarra. I am with Southern Independent Publishers and we publish the Wollongong & Northern Leader, The Lake Times and The Kiama Independent having a readership of 113,400.
As a young person I am aware of the lack of communication between the churches, youth groups and youth ministries within the Media. I am also aware of the importance of the next generation of the church and want to make a difference. I have contacted a lot of the churches in the Illawarra about this subject and all of which seem to be interested and think that what I am doing is a great idea.
I would love all the local churches to start advertising their youth events and what they can offer the youth of the communities within their church and organisation. And have made up a proposal that I have sent to the churches that I have contacted.”

RESOURCES AVAILABLE FROM OTHER AREAS:
- Courtyard Games - for children’s ministry
Gary Lewis (pastor of Thirroul Baptist Church a few years ago) writes:
“As you may know I have been working as an ACCESS ministries Primary School Chaplain in Western Port, Victoria for the past 6 years. With the permission of ACCESS ministries I have self-published a book of courtyard games written as a resource especially for primary school chaplains and children's ministry workers. Drawn from 40 years of educational and ministry experience, this book presents workable ideas of games for connecting with age range of children within the primary school. In addition it can be easily adapted to secondary school, kids church, beach missions and holiday programs. The profits from the sale of this book will go back into supporting chaplaincy in Victoria.
“I would be grateful if would please forward this flyer (click to download flyer) to the chaplains, teachers and other children's workers in network.
“If you require any further information about Court Yard Games just let me know or

“Blessings and Peace
