THE COMMISSIONING OF THE REVEREND JULIE BAKER AS RECTOR OF DARLINGTON-BELLEVUE
The parishioners of St Cuthbert's were thrilled when Archbishop Kay confirmed that The Venerable Julie Baker, Archdeacon of Bunbury Cathedral, had accepted the position of Rector of the Parish of Darlington-Bellevue. It has been postulated that it could be the shortest interregnum in the history of the Perth Diocese! The wardens and nominators are very confident that parishioners and the wider community will appreciate qualities in Julie that are important to our congregation: an engaging personality, an impressive range of administrative experience, a sharp intellect and an excellent sense of humour.
We hope that you will welcome Julie and her family by joining with us, community leaders and visiting clergy at St Cuthbert's for the commissioning service by Bishop Kate Wilmot at 7pm on Thursday 28 July. The Choir of St Cuthbert’s will sing a Communion Anthem at the service.
Of course, there will be a delicious supper and champagne afterwards.

The Annual Meeting of Parishioners will be on Sunday 12 June 2022 at the conclusion of the 9.00am Eucharist at St Cuthbert's Church, corner Darlington and Hillsden Roads, Darlington WA. The Annual Meeting is governed by the Parish Governance Statute 2016 .

Wardens
Primarily, Wardens are responsible for the physical property of the Worshipping Community. In our case, this includes the Church building, Parish Centre, lych gate, Rectory and grounds.
Church Councillors
Church Council is the administrative body of the Worshipping Community. It consists of the Wardens, plus 4, 8 or 12 members. The Annual Meeting elects three-quarters of the Councillors, and the Rector may appoint one quarter. Each Councillor takes on a portfolio of responsibility such as Archives, Communications, Finance, Communications, Risk Management, Secretary and so on.
Synod Representatives
The Rector and two lay members of the parish attend Synod, which is like the annual ‘parliament’ of the church. Synod makes decisions about legislation and policy and scrutinises the activities of Diocesan bodies. The Annual Meeting elects two Representatives.
Nominators of Clergy
If the position of Rector falls vacant, the four Nominators (one of whom is a Warden) work with four Diocesan Nominators, the Archdeacon and the Area Bishop. They undertake a search and recommend a suitable person for the Archbishop to appoint.
An auditor

Cambini Quintet
CAMBINI QUINTET
Admission $39/$34 for concessions & seniors
Enquiries & bookings phone 9574 1591
The Cambini Quintet is dedicated to exploring the rich repertoire of Classical and Romantic chamber music for woodwinds, with a special focus on the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn, known as the “Wind Quintet.” The ensemble is named after Giovanni Cambini (1746~1825), who composed the first known works for this grouping, published in 1802.
Concerts by the Cambini Quintet draw exclusively from this enjoyable but neglected repertoire, which includes a wealth of superb works from the time of Mozart through to the full flowering of the French and German late-Romantics, revealing the warm sonority and varied tonal textures of the wind quintet.
This programme presents works by Franz Danzi (1763~1826), his second set of wind quintets, op.67. Brimming with joyful melodic inventiveness, these pieces explore the full range of textures and timbres found in this entertaining woodwind ensemble. Artists are Emily Gunson (flute), Esther Lee (oboe), Clare Waters (clarinet), Natalya Czernicziw (bassoon) & Tahlia Denn (French horn).
