Pastors Letter (Page 3)

G’day church, I want to remind you of a couple of invitations coming up, including an exciting bi-lingual expansion of our Taste and See course: This Sunday join us at 3pm for a walk in Belair National Park. Meet at the car park next to the Holiday Park and it’s a relaxing 1.5km walk through to the Adventure Playground. The weather is looking good and it’s a really nice…

Hello church, How would you answer if a friend asked you “What is so good about the good news of Jesus?” There is simply so much that is good about the gospel that I’m sure each of us might respond with a slightly different emphasis. However, as I’ve been preparing the funeral service for Lynne Biedron, it has struck me that of all the blessings of the gospel perhaps one…

Hello church, This week we mourn the death of a dearly loved sister. Lynne Biedron went to glory late on Sunday evening. I met with Lynne and George in hospital last week and we read from Psalm 27 together:   The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps 27:1) Lynne’s great…

G’day church, Just a few things to update you on this week: CMS Online dinner is on next Wednesday, 24th. A couple of Growth Groups are gathering for it, or please feel free to join our bring and share dinner at the Holdfast Bay Community Centre. We’ll be in the Grace Benny Room (where Minis are on Sundays – accessed by the southern car park), arriving ready for dinner at…

Hi All, I hope your week’s been a good one and you’ve been able to keep warm (and dry!). At my end I’ve been busy getting ready for the Adelaide Uni and UniSA Mid Year Conference Next week. Do be praying for the 90 students who’ll be away for four nights learning about the topic “Union With Christ”. We can also be thankful for how well…

G’day Church, This Sunday is our last week in the book of Exodus. It’s been an amazing journey that we started out on last year with lessons of God’s faithfulness and power to rescue, and continued this year with his kindness to provide and to be present. I wonder what has stood out to you the most over the time we’ve spent in this wonderful book? Coming…

G’day Church, I’m not sure how the end of financial year impacts your thinking. For some of us it rolls on by without much significance, for others it is a peak season of thinking through finances, budgets, savings plans and tax. Regardless of how it impacts you personally, we’re all seeing EOFY sales advertised, and many of us are likely to receive emails from various…

G’day Church, The Hole In Our Holiness is a great little book by Kevin DeYoung on the rather uncommon but very important topic of holiness. After spending chapter 1 explaining why he thinks this is an important topic (which is a good place to start) he properly kicks things of with an excellent question to open chapter 2: “Why did God save you?” Of course, there are…
