REFLECTION: VOCATION SUNDAY
Today is vocation Sunday when we encourage people to think about the vocation
of Christian Ministry. Today we have as a guest speaker Chris Waghorn, who is
an ordination candidate for the Diocese of Melbourne and is currently working
with Bible League Australia. He will be sharing with us something of the work
of the Bible League as well as speaking of his own journey to faith and to
ministry. We look forward to all that Chris has to share. Today you might like
to reflect on how God might be calling you to serve him and in what capacity.

IMPORTANT ADVANCES IN THE BUILDING PROJECT
This week our building committee took our project before the Diocesan Property
Committee and we were cleared to advance to the construction phase. A builder
has been chosen but we are still fine tuning the contracts and some adjustments
to the final price. This is a great step forward which should allow us to begin
construction this year. We will be giving more detail over the coming weeks once details are finalised.
VICAR’S LEAVE
Graeme and Jane will be taking two weeks annual leave from this Tuesday
August 27th until the 9th of September. The Rev. Dr. David Powys will be acting
