Have A Chat With Hannah 13 February

Hi lovely readers!

This Sunday is the Mackay Regional Council Sport and Rec Expo, and I’ll be popping in after church to take some photos of everyone there. If you see me with my camera out and about, feel free to come and say hi!

Sport is thriving in our region, and on page 21 you can read all about the North Queensland Games which will kick off a bit later on in the year.

Our region is jam-packed with talent, and it’s great to see so many opportunities and new pathways being paved for the future generations.

There’s a real passion amongst local leaders and the community to make Mackay not only a great place to live, but also a place where families can flourish, careers can grow, and where people can enjoy their hobbies and personal passions such as the arts or sport.

If you’re thinking of joining a local sporting club, check out the expo this Sunday. And if sport isn’t really your thing, try picking up a paint brush or starting a new hobby – you never know what talent you might uncover!

Scripture of the week: “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans‬ 8‬:38‬-39‬ NKJV‬‬
