Pastors Letter (Page 12)

Dear Friends, I hope you’ve had a great week so far. I know many will be looking forward to the long weekend and school holidays and getting some rest time in. Our family’s getting the camper trailer packed and we’re looking forward to heading down to Robe for some annual leave over the next couple of weeks. Hoping for lots of time doing nothing,…

G’day Church, Spring has finally come so my son and I dropped into Bunnings for some garden fertiliser, only to discover shelves full of Christmas lights and a whole display of massive blow up Santas! He asked the obvious question: “Why are they here Dad? It’s not Christmas yet!” I struggled to come up with a good explanation for oversized blow up Santas in September. The…

Hello church! Three short things to let you know about this Sunday: Music Jam Session: If you play an instrument or enjoy singing, come join the jam session after church this Sunday. We’d love to grow our music team and perhaps this might be a helpful first step for you to get involved! Morning Tea: Praise God, we’re able to re-start morning tea on a regular basis. Aside…

G’day church. On Sunday I mentioned the upcoming Marriage Enrichment night at Trinity Church Adelaide on Thursday September 29. It will be a great time for married couples to refresh and reflect on their marriage. There will be some really helpful insights and encouragements on ways to grow closer together.

John’s funeral reminded me that the knowledge of a future secure with Jesus prepares us all for our own…

Hi All, I hope you’ve had a great week so far. I always look forward to 8am on a Sunday morning. It’s about that time that we’re unlocking the doors and heading in to begin getting ready for another week’s church service. Sometime’s there’s a nasty surprise or two when a light won’t turn on or we discover junk left everywhere from an event the previous day. But what’s…

G’day church. Is it just me, or have recent news headlines been full of a kind of anxious uncertainty? Concerns about the national and global economy are pretty hard to miss, especially if you’re buying anything from broccoli to petrol. Concerns about housing affordability are very real for both renters and mortgage payers. Superannuation funds are warning of…

Dear Friends, We are greatly blessed to have a wonderful church family here at Trinity Church Brighton. Every week I count it a privilege to get together with a great bunch of people who love Jesus and love each other. But I’m often left wishing we had more time to enjoy each other’s company, get to know each other better, and connect with people who we may not have met…
