Precious legacies

Mrs Raymont’s gift helped build our beautiful Sanctuary. Her gift has greatly enriched the lives of our residents, and those who have been privileged to join in worship.

The Cooper legacy consisted of shares in a skin and hide business that equated to approximately £17,000. Their gift is honoured by the naming of Cooper House.

Mr Uhl’s gift enabled the establishment of the Community Hall at the Garden Settlement, which bears his name.

A wing of St Luke’s bears Mr Nevitt’s name in honour of his generous gift to establish the St Luke’s building. 

The Sinnamon family gifted 40 acres of land to the Methodist Church which was used to build Sinnamon Village at 17 Mile Rocks. 

The Hill gift was allocated for the ongoing care and support of the Bethesda Caring Centre in Corinda.

Betty Smith’s service to her friends, the community and the church lasted a lifetime. In honour of her dedication, Wesley Mission Queensland restored three Marchant cottages to their original condition, dubbed ‘The Betty Smith Heritage Precinct’.

Mr Tracey, former resident of Wheller on the Park, gifted his estate to Wesley Mission Queensland who allocated it to help build Asher House. Asher House provides a ‘home for life’ for people with acquired brain injuries.

One third of the Lemke Estate was specified for our Marketing and Media department to purchase much needed camera and filming equipment.
