HOME MESSAGE FROM REV JENNY
13th June, 2021- 3rd Sunday after Pentecost What wild weather we have had. I hope everyone is safe and secure. The worst we encountered was a few damaged plants. As I mentioned last week, our AGM is scheduled for August 1st. As of this week I am placing formal notification in all our churches and distributing Parish Roll enrollment forms and nomination forms. Please pray for this important meeting as parish council prepares for it and for God’s guidance in the election of Parish Councillors. After speaking with the Uniting Church, we are scheduling a combined service at St Aidan’s for August 29th. The theme for this service is our call to protect, care and renew life on our planet, our 5th mark of Mission. |
I do hope you will mark this in your diaries as we consider this important issue with our Uniting brothers and sisters.
Unfortunately Bible Study has to go into recess until after the school Holidays. I have a Bishop in Council meeting this week and then we go away on holidays. We will be returning from our week away with the grandchildren who will then stay with us until school goes back. We have been enjoying our journey through Titus and are only halfway through the study so it is never too late to join. I will let you know exactly when we meet again. Please remember the people of Traralgon and other places in Gippsland who are suffering from flooding. After the devastating bushfires of two summers ago, it is blow they didn’t need.

ABM REFLECTION:
Today the Psalmist tells us not to put our trust in apparently strong things, such as chariots and horses because they only lead to ruin. Far better, he writes, to trust in the name of the Lord our God. That leads to our being made strong and our standing upright. How great it is to know that trusting in God will lead to a secure future.
