Weekly Update September 25
Last Sunday Bishop Ian spoke to us about our service and sacrifice in our daily Christian walk. He also challenged us about the attitude we have while going about the ‘service’ we do, particularly in relation to our responsibilities to other people. ”We can only serve God indirectly. Serving others, serves God”.
On Sunday Sally will lead the service, Gill will preach and Katie will lead the music. Paul and Robyn will not be at F5 on Sunday.
Our new Prime Minister, Scott Morrison and deputy Josh Frydenberg. Remember: In the AM pray for our PM.
