All last weekend\u2019s events w\"\"<\/a>ent off as successfully as did the Royal Wedding, due to good weather.<\/p>\n

The Boot Sale maintained its usual great result, Caf\u00e9 Church at Lake Boga was a well- received new experience, and the \u00a0Variety Concert in the Church resulted in donations of $365.00 for Chaplaincy in schools.<\/p>\n

Don, John and Joan received birthday blessings and sweets at the 9.30 service, and at least thirty people stayed after the 2.00 pm<\/span> concert to enjoy afternoon tea in the warmth of the function centre . The church seating was decorated with red ribbons, and lights sparkled in a clever representation of \u201cHoly Fire\u201d as we celebrated the feast of Pentecost, marking the actual \u201cBirthday of the Christian Church\u201d, when after Jesus\u2019 ascension the Holy Spirit was sent as the promised Baptism of Fire, to empower the disciples of the Messiah to bring his message of love throughout the known world.<\/p>\n

Those who watched the Royal Wedding may have wondered why it took Bishop Michael Curry 13 minutes to say \u201cAll you need is Love\u201d,\u00a0 the gospel message from 2000 years ago, repeated through the ages,( also famously by the Beatles.)\u00a0 Shout if you must, Bishop Michael, but until deaf ears are prepared to listen to the \u2018still, small voice of God\u201d, evil will reign.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow there will be a service at 10.30 am<\/span> at \u201cAlcheringa.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday<\/span> the mystery of the Trinity will puzzle us again, in the simplicity of the Creator Spirit (AKA God), his human manifestation,\u00a0 (AKA Jesus the Messiah) and his empowering essence ,( AKA the Holy Spirit of God.) These are the three aspects of the one Being. \u00a0Jesus said \u00a0\u201cIf you have seen me you have seen the Father.\u201d But he also said \u201cBlessed are those who believe, yet have not seen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
