New partnership with Warrigal Care
I’m delighted to announce that I’ve accepted the invitation to be the Chaplaincy Team Leader at Warrigal Care.
My role will be to support the team of volunteer chaplains who devote themselves to caring for the residents of the Warrigal Care facilities around the Illawarra.
As our church seeks to grow our ministry to seniors in our church and in our community, this opens up many opportunities which I look forward to exploring at our upcoming Seniors Ministry Meeting on 29th June.
Please pray for me as I seek to encourage and support the chaplains, and pray that God will give us more opportunities to minister the word of God to seniors living in Warrigal Care and throughout the Shellharbour region.
Jodie.
New Bibles for Oak Flats and Africa
It is hard to imagine what it must have been like for Christians before the Bible was readily available as a printed book.
Until the invention of the printing press in 1450, most people didn’t have their own copy of the Bible, and they wouldn’t have had ‘pew’ Bibles like we enjoy.
This Sunday in our church we will be using for the first time our new Bibles, 50 large-print copies of the 2011 version of the New International Version (NIV11). These were purchased using some of the gift to our church from the estate of our late sister, Doreen Orange, and we give thanks to God for her generosity to us.
Our Parish Council has also decided to donate our old Bibles to Christians in Africa, through the ministry of the ‘Mission Aid Group’, an organisation championed in our parish by Gordon Orange.
Praise God for his word throughout the world!
