Pastoral Chatter
September/October 2010

There are many who have birthday celebrations during this period. We join with each one in wishing you happy birthday. Happy 81st go to Tosh Lindgren, Jean Oates and Owen Howard, Henrik Ranneskog (82) Cynthia Wort (85) Auriel Young, Ken Shepherd and Keith Stewart (86) Godfrey Williams (87) Jack Taylor (89) Nan Scott (90) and Norma Jenkins (95) What great milestones!!!

Our prayers are with family members who are grieving. Also we pray for continued healings to those who have been hospitalised.

We do wish a Happy Fathers Day to all fathers.
As a small gesture, bed-socks and beanies were presented to the fifty gentlemen who reside at the three aged care facilities where Pastor Col ministers. A big THANK-YOU is extended to the generous busy knitters who made these available.
Over one hundred are required for ladies at the aged care facilities for Mothers’ Day next year – knitted/crocheted would be greatly appreciated.

 
Audio tape library.
Each Sunday, the entire service is taped. Please avail yourselves to use this library. The tapes are kept on the shelves in The Parent’s Room. Please fill out details in the book and return them when you have finished.

Enfolded in His love
The love of God surrounds us
Like the air we breathe around us-
As near as the heartbeat, as close as a prayer,
And whenever we need Him,
He’ll always be there!
