    It's farewell time!


    It is never easy to say "Good-bye" to those whom we have come to love and treasure. In the last 12 months, we have had to farewell quite a number of dear friends. Now, as a church family, we are once again offering our blessings to other friends who are leaving us for distant places. Next Sunday 18th March we are having a special farewell luncheon to express our thanks and to wish God's blessing on Bruce, Sue and Paul Honeybun as they leave us for a brand new chapter of their lives in Darwin, Mark and Alex Westlake as they head for a wonderful adventure at the El Questro Station in the Kimberlies of WA, and Graham Dart as he and Lyn move to Horsham for a new work assignment. We acknowledge with gratitude to God all that these good friends have meant to us - all greatly loved and appreciated. Please be with us at the luncheon when we will be able to express our thanks and offer our prayers for these brothers and sisters in Jesus.

    Please continue to pray for those with ongoing health needs - Dick Hayman; Stuart Oakley; Matthew Harris; Neil Mitchell; Colin Colston, Rita and family; Daryl Hobbs; Phillip Brown; Peter Berry The Deacons Meeting Tuesday pray for our dedicated leaders David & Ruth - safe travel each week, God bless their ministry Victorian floods - all those affected and future cleanup/rebuilding Bushfires/Grassfires - prevention of outbreak, protection of people Christian Education in schools all volunteers, 4 of our members new CRE teachers this year; also Kids Hope mentors Monday Aaron Mibus Tuesday Roger & Rosemary Mibus Wednesday Dallas & Rachael Mitchell, David, Jessica, Joshua, Katie Thursday Neil Mitchell Friday Claire Moriarty Saturday Bob & Janne Morrison Sunday Peter & Jo Moyle
