Commencement Service for Rev. Ron Irving
Dear church family,
On Saturday 1 November this year we officially welcome Ron Irving as the rector of our parish. He and Julie are coming from St Matt’s, West Pennant Hills to minister in our village, valley and region and we are so grateful to God for them. The Commencement Service will begin at 2 pm and there will be many people joining us to commission Ron and Julie and bless them. The Bishop of Wollongong Peter Hayward will be leading the service and preaching the Word. Local Anglican rectors, friends and family of Ron and Julie, and representatives from many other churches will be with us. While it seems a long time away there will be many roles to fill and opportunities to serve, such as welcomers, afternoon tea catering team, music and ushers. Please make a date in your calendar for the afternoon and look out for more information over the next while.
In Christ,
JAC Wardens
Helpers Needed
We are in need of some volunteers for operating the Slides at church! No expertise required, talk to Tony if you’re keen.
Book of the Month
Our book of the month for August is “Angels” by Tim Chester. “Angels” explores what the Bible truly teaches about angels – their nature, their role as God’s messengers, and their place in pointing us to Jesus rather than being objects of worship themselves. Tim grounds his insights firmly in Scripture and encourages us to understand the spiritual realm with clarity, discouraging both obsession with and ignorance of angels. The book is helpful in daily life by offering comfort in knowing God’s care is active – sometimes through angels – and by reminding us that our focus should be on Christ, supported by a greater spiritual reality.
