A message from Rev. Graeme Bradbeer

Dear Friends

Years ago I saw an ATO listing of the 100 most common spellings of the word ‘Presbyterian’ - All by people who said they were Presbyterian! If you don’t know where the name Presbyterian comes from you should tune in tomorrow.

Also, what can we learn from a tale of two de Havilland aircraft? Tune in for that too...

The notes for tomorrow's sermon are here.

Actually, wait! Tomorrow is our Communion service. If you can, you should be there to participate. Physical engagement in this ‘means of grace’ can benefit your soul.

Here is the leaflet.

I have repeated the notice of our absence from September 24 until November 5. We will be away six Sundays. It is encouraging how willing people are to step in and help out. Thank you to those who have.

The supply roster is included, as well as the kind offer of Rev Grant Lawry to provide any needed urgent pastoral care that may be required.

You will notice there is no Young at Heart this week. Alas, Christine has Covid. She tested positive this afternoon and is hoping to start antiviral meds tomorrow.

NB Please note the Annual General Meeting of the congregation will take place after the service on 10 September.

Blessings in Christ.

Graham
