| At the 9:30am service could we please not repeat the verse and choruses 3 times. Once, yes, twice maybe, 3 times is too much. The words are good but the repeats are too onerous. Maybe a real hymn once in a while. | <<DateTime(2011-04-20T13:41:18+1000)>> JohnHurst I have passed this suggestion on to the relevant people. |

| I think it is absolutely terrible, the state of the carpet and floor in the kindergarten room. Babies are crawling about on this stained carpet which is past shampooing. For the Property Committee to say it will cost $6000 and to wait 7 years is really dreadful. Surely they could look up some bargain flooring. I am willing to have a coffee morning and afternoon to start raising funds, at my home. This playgroup is a wonderful outreach to non-church members and new arrivals in Australia. It makes a very poor impression to see this dirty floor which can't be washed or swept. How can we give to others when we can't even look after own own? Please follow this up.

| I shall certainly follow this up with the Property Committee. Basically, it comes down to priorities. Do you want outreach or charity at home? We don't have money for both. Personally, I would rather be giving to others than insisting upon a spick and span church. "Charity begins at home" is a very poor aphorism, not worth of a missionary church. Jesus did not seek to look after his own interests. Read Acts 2:45 for the contradiction of this saying. | '''<<DateTime(2011-04-20T11:10:39+1000)>>''' (paper suggestion box, signed) I think it is absolutely terrible, the state of the carpet and floor in the kindergarten room.

Not sure what you mean by "visually attractive" - beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so one person's attractive may be another's ugly! But you can change the theme of how your pages look (without changing it for other people):
Click the link Settings at the very top of the page.
Click the link Preferences on the page that appears.
Find the Preferred theme pull-down menu, and select your preferred style (you will have to experiment to see these).
Click Save at the bottom of the page, and you are done!
Have a look at http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket. If you find anything you like there, let me know, and I will set it up for you. Caveat: different themes re-arrange many of the links on the displayed wiki pages. This will render invalid many instructions in these pages about how to use the wiki. For example, the instructions above only apply to the modern, modernized, and modernized_cms themes. The modern theme is set as the default theme.
