Hello all,

The great news came through today that David and Margaret de Kock’s visas have been approved for them to come and be the Ministers for our Parish.

David and Margaret will now finalise their plans for the move from Howick in South Africa to Merredin. At this stage they will be moving mid July to begin with our congregation on August the 1st. Praise God for this wonderful news!

If you would like to find out more about David and Margaret’s journey, you can visit their personal blog at Faith2Face

Just a quick reminder that after the service this Sunday the 21st we will be having a “bring and share lunch” for everyone.

This time of fellowship will include a community outreach think tank discussion where we will discuss ways of reaching out to and being a blessing our local community.

Please bring a plate and stay around for this time after the service. All are welcome.

Hello all,

We will be having Caroline Crombie as our guest speaker this Sunday the 21st of June.

Caroline says, “I will be talking about, The Seeds of Love missionary organisation, which runs an orphanage, community centre and meals-on-wheels program for leprosy affected people in north-east Thailand.

My daughter Daisy (13) will be with me, as she has recently returned from Thailand (I’ve never been there myself). She’ll stand with me to talk a little bit about her trip. The theme is missions… helping the poor… seeing Jesus in the faces of the poor”.

It promises to be a great morning of encouragement. The service begins at 9.00am. All are welcome.
