Church by the Bridge

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)Many in my electorate of North Shore know of the generosity and community spirit of Church by the Bridge Kirribilli. During this pandemic, the Church has been providing meals for those who have been unable to leave their home, and who don't have any family to assist them with obtaining groceries. This has not just been locally either, with calls for help nine hundred and seventy kilometres away. Parish intern Naomi Deck and her volunteers prepare around seventy meals a week for parishioners, and other locals who need them – whether families, single people, and they cater for all dietary requirements. Church by the Bridge has also in the past had an active involvement with the Greenway Housing estate, running a fortnightly barbeque and Sunday service. Due to the pandemic, this ministry hasn't been possible and so the team members have been cooking up to one hundred meals each week and distributing them to residents of Greenway. Thank you for your community spirit and assistance during this difficult time for us all.
