A message from the Lucases
Was it a downer to be rostered to prepare the after church meal on our Golden Wedding anniversary? Absolutely not! It was a real joy to share a celebration with our Christian brothers and sisters and thank you to all who were able to be with us and for all your good wishes and fellowship. And a special thanks to Lesley for organising a beautiful cake to top off the occasion. The cake reminded us (almost) of the verse given to us by Bishop Yohana Madinda, who preached at our wedding: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6. We commend those words to you all. With our love in the Lord, Robyn and Trevor.
