Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
This Sunday we remember and celebrate Jesus’s leaving earth to ascend into heaven. It’s a vital step if we are to accept Jesus’s invitation to each of us from last Sunday that he is leading the way for us to heaven. We each have our favourite Holy Day; for many it’s Christmas or Palm Sunday or Easter and I understand Good Friday and many other days being favourites but for me, Ascension, Jesus leading the way home is my fave.

It’s tempting and easy to see Jesus’s ascending into heaven as the end of God’s work on earth. Jesus’s parting words don’t give us that option, as he leaves, he lays the foundation for the coming of the Holy Spirit of God and commissions the disciples with building God’s church throughout the world.

This Sunday is also Moggill Marathon day. I hope our parish members who are running run well and have a great time – I’m jealous; I miss being able to run! We will miss you but hope you have fun – even in the rain.

Our Diocese has introduced new Child Protection guidelines, policy and a new handbook. Many of the new requirements are things that we are already doing; most will be quite simple to introduce (we will need notices and to display various documents). Others will require careful consideration and perhaps more training. In addition updated training for all involved will be introduced later this year.

After church on Sunday morning we have a Parish Council Meeting. In addition to the Child Protection measures, I hope this meeting will set our direction for the rest of the year and actually commence work on the issues I mentioned last week. Please pray for our Parish Council.

Sunday the 24th is Pentecost when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. This is the day we mark as the birthday of the church; I’ll provide more details next week but if you have something red to wear that would be appropriate and perhaps we need cake!
