Reflection from the Reverend Rob Sutherland CSC 10 May 2026
Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
This week, with the world around us, we have the opportunity to thank our mothers (and grandmothers and even great-grandmothers). The current ‘Mothers’ Day’ may have resulted from a marketing exercise, but let’s not waste a wonderful opportunity; without our mothers, none of us would be here. Thank you, mothers, for your love, care, tears, sleepless nights, worry, hugs, discipline, support, encouragement and the many, many meals that have made us who we are.

Autumn is a time of change and, for our church too, it is a time of change. We have one Sunday of Easter left before we are rapidly into contemplating and celebrating Jesus’s Ascension into Heaven; then Pentecost – the coming of the Holy Spirit – and then Trinity. These coming Sundays mark the end of one church season – perhaps we might consider this the season of Jesus – and the beginning of the season of the Holy Spirit, the Christian Church, and God’s ongoing work. We will celebrate the transitions but it is time for us, as a church, to be getting on with God’s work.

I have work to do in preparation for Synod. I have been asked to consider issues for veterans and families, and issues relating to part-time ministry. We may host a conference or meeting on part-time ministry to look at how God wants us to recruit, prepare, remunerate, support, and educate future part-time ministers.

Within our parish, working with our Parish Council, I am keen to solve our administrative support needs, to comply with the newly released Safe Ministry procedures, and to address the very large ($30,000) hole in our budget.

I am also working with neighbouring parishes to develop a young adults Bible study.

Please pray for God to provide. Please pray for our Parish Council: that God will lead us, and that God will, in his power and for his glory, bless us with and show us his solutions to these challenges, so that we may both praise him and get on with his work.

Rob Law has taken on the role of putting together the next Parish Roster. My thanks to all who read, pray, welcome, count, provide morning tea, serve in the sanctuary, lead children’s ministry, and more. These active contributions are a wonderful expression of who we are; more volunteers are welcome, but if it is time to step back, that is fine too.
