Weekly Update August 16
We look forward to seeing you along at F5 at 5 on Sunday.
We are very pleased to welcome Bishop Ian Lambert, bishop to the Defence Force, along to speak at F5 this Sunday. Ian has been a priest in our diocese for many years with a wonderful ministry at Batemans Bay which hosted a very popular Life in the Spirit conference each year. Ian is also the National Chair of SOMA (Sharing Of Ministries Abroad), a mission organisation reaching out to countries such as Nepal, Indonesia and the Solomon Islands. Be sure to come along and welcome him.
Gill will be leading the service, and Paul and Co leading music.
It was lovely last Sunday to hear testimonies from Fred, Penny and Denise on how Jesus has been the Bread of Life to them. Thank you for sharing with us. Robyn has put out the challenge this week to read Ephesians chapters 4 and 5, and then share with her anything that has touched you from the readings.
