For Sunday 20th September - 8.30am

This Sunday Divine Service will begin at 8.30am.

We will hear the familiar words of Jesus where he said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." Together with the second reading from the epistle of St James, we will be reminded of the danger of following our inner desires to be and to have more and more, without concern for our motives.

Jesus calls us not to seek prestige and power and position, but to delight in the opportunity to serve as we have been served by Him through the free gift of forgiveness and life received in His name.

Kids' Club will take place immediately after the service this week.

On another note our trip to St John's Jeparit last weekend was a wonderful experience, with the most gracious and generous hosts, and great encouragement for our growing ministry here in Shepparton.

See you Sunday.

God's peace,
Pastor Matt
