Hello Church,
This year has passed by in a blur. Everything is in holiday-hyper-drive;
Christmas parties, meal planning, finishing up work, keeping the kids from
killing each other, preparing for the in-law-onslaught, trying to make the
holiday season fun for the kidlets fills every second. It is easy to miss
miraculous moments, eternal instances, seconds of the sacred as we rush through
life. My aim this festive season is to pause for the precious times, to revel
in the ridiculous, to laugh like a little kid, to weep when the situation
arises, and most importantly to wait on God to fill each moment. Holidays are a
time to slow down and appreciate life. I wish you all peace and joy in the
festive season.
THIS WEEK (December 17) Shelley Vaughan will be coordinating our Plus1 Summer
Spectacular service. Our senior pastor Vadim Butov will deliver our parting
message. It will be the last Plus1 for the year, I hope to see you there.
Picnic at the ParkPlease bring your lunch this Sabbath (December 17) to
Cooranbong Park and enjoy our last picnic together for 2017.
