HOME MESSAGE FROM REV JENNY
11th April, 2021, Easter 2 We begin today by acknowledging the passing of Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Love him or not, he was a man of great enthusiasm for family, service to country, the Commonwealth and to God. Please hold Her Majesty the Queen and all the Royal Family as they mourn the passing of their loved one. ANZAC Day falls on a Sunday this year and so our service that morning will be shorter than usual so those who wish may attend the community ANZAC Day service can. |
Please note that the resumption of our Wednesday Service has been bumped by one week to May 5th. I need to attend an important event that day so will be unavailable.
Bible Study will resume on Tuesday May 11th at 2pm. It will be held at June and Michael’s home at 37 Cawood Street. All are most welcome to attend. Finally it is with much joy that I can announce that our regular combined Services with the Uniting Church will resume next month. We will be meeting for combined worship on May 30th at the Uniting Church. Please note service time is 9.30 am.May the Lord bless you with peace and joy.

Gracious and Loving God, bless the people of the Diocese of Ballarat and the communities of western Victoria. Guard all our people. Guide our leaders. Teach us to exercise our freedoms with responsibility for all our neighbours. Bless us with hope and peace, for Jesus’ sake. ~Amen~ |

ABM REFLECTION:
Today the Psalmist extols the notion of families living together in unity. It’s the same for the Church – unity (not uniformity) means that our ecclesiastical life ought to be one of supporting one another and build-ing each other up in Christ’s name. As the old hymn says, The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord. May we remember that in everything we do as members of the Church.
