For Sunday 30th May

This Sunday we have planned a parish service which will take place at the home of Roger and Lyn Reid, a place known as Moroco West Station, approximately 25 km east of Mathoura. Service will begin at approximately 10.30am - but please be flexible as we have a couple of bus loads coming from Shepparton.

A light lunch will be provided after the service.

If you would like directions or more info, please give me a call on 5821 5206.

Hope to see you there.

God bless,
Pastor Matt

They're all here...finally!

Melania's sister, brother in law and nephews and nieces finally arrived this morning, landing in Melbourne at 5.05am. At last this family which has been separated for 17 years can start to make a life together again. Thanks to all those who have supported them and are continuing to do so in so many ways.



The quality of this video is not the best due to some problems converting it, but you get the idea.

God bless,

Sunday 16th May

There will be no service in Shepparton this week as we are visiting the Warrnambool congregation for the weekend and doing a fundraising presentation for the SW zone of our District.

Service next week (23rd May) will be at 11am for our Pentecost celebrations.

A joyful reunion

Melania is reunited with her mother after 17 years of separation!



Melania's brother and sister were only babies when she was separated from them. The younger two boys were not even born - so it was a reunion and an introduction!

For Sunday 9th May - 11am

In order to ensure I'm keeping up with posting, I thought I'd publish next Sunday's service times without too much comment this week! It looks like being a hectic one with Melania's mother and siblings arriving Tuesday morning direct from the refugee camp in Tanzania. It will be a time of thanksgiving and joy!

Service next Sunday will begin at 11am.

Here are the readings for your preparation:

Acts 16:9-15 Paul takes the good news to Philippi

Revelation 21:10,22 - 22:5 The new Jerusalem

John 14:23-29 'I am going to the Father'


God's blessing on your week,
Pastor Matt
